Nonfiction Notes English I Honors - Calvo/Jones/Lister

Reading Nonfiction We must - connect with the text - ask about the writer - determine if the piece is objective or subjective - interpret the meaning and purpose - extend the text - challenge the text

When we read nonfiction, we bring our own experiences, beliefs, knowledge, memories, backgrounds, questions, expectations, and biases to the text and topic.

We must look at the writer. - Is he/she qualified to write about the topic? - What is his/her bias towards the topic? - What is his/her purpose for writing? Possible purposes - entertain, inform, persuade, explain

Subjective or Objective Writing - Objective Writing - has factual accuracy and an unbiased account of the story; it’s not distorted by the writer’s own prejudice - Subjective Writing - the author gets personal and includes his/her own feelings on a subject, making the piece biased - Bias - personal opinion or prejudice, can be good or bad

As we read, we need to - find the main idea of the text - locate the points the author uses to prove the main idea - analyze the details of each point for facts, examples, incidents, anecdotes, experiences, comparisons, etc.

Types of Nonfiction Autobiographies, Biographies, Articles, Essays, Personal Accounts Often seen in these forms: books, textbooks, advertisements, articles, journals, letters, newspapers, how-to books, cookbooks, essays, pamphlets, brochures, reviews, websites, etc.
