Learning About Your Resources Think–Write-Round Robin The teacher asks a question and gives think time. (60 seconds BEFORE you can begin writing) Students think and then respond independently in writing. (No talking) Finally, students share their thoughts one at a time around the table (or circle) Continue around the table until the teacher says stop. What is a work of fiction? Nonfiction?

Think-Write-Round Robin: Based on your experiences with books, what are two big differences between fiction and nonfiction books? Give students time to generate ideas in their groups.

Fiction versus Nonfiction Text Narrative: The main purpose of narrative text is to tell a story. Narrative text has beginning, middle and end, characters, plot or conflict, and setting. Usually, narrative texts are written from the author's imagination. Non-fiction Expository: The main purpose of *expository text is to inform or describe. Authors who write expository texts research the topic to gain information. The information is organized in a logical and interesting manner using various expository text structures. *expository: to put forth, or explain

Five Categories of Text Features 1. Text Divisions 2. Organizational Tools 3. Graphics 4. Font Size or Formatting 5. Layout

Category Description Example Text Divisions Organizational Tools Graphics Font Size or Formatting Layout Identify how the text is organized and presented Chapters Help readers understand key topics or information Table of Contents Visual representations that help the reader understand the main text better Diagram This is printed on the Text Features Activity for students to work on with a partner. Any change in font that signals the reader that this is important Boldface Include aids that point readers to important information Insets

Bullets Colored Print Title Labels Summaries Captions Photographs Pronunciation Guide Subheadings Illustrations Cutaways Timelines References Glossary Diagrams Introductions Charts Tables Index Headings Graphs Italics Maps Insets Author’s Information Sidebar How would you organize this list of text features found in your textbook? Each person will get a slip with a text feature example on it. They will then move around the room to determine what heading the example on their slip goes under. They will write their feature under that heading and stay with that group You will need to have 5 smaller sized white boards with the one text feature heading on each and a marker for each one OR 5 large sheets of paper with one text feature heading on each and a marker for each one. Give the students 3 to 5 minutes to place their examples under the correct heading. Go through each list and discuss student answers at the end of the time. Have students finish filling out their grid of notes. The correct answers are on the next slide.

Category Description Example 1. Text Divisions Identify how the text is organized and presented Chapters, sections, introductions, summaries, and author information 2. Organizational Tools Help readers understand key topics or information Titles, table of contents, index, headings and subheadings, glossary, pronunciation guide, and references 3. Graphics Visual representations that help the reader understand the main text better Diagrams, charts and tables, graphs, maps, labels, photographs, illustrations, paintings, cutaways, timelines captions 4. Font Size or Formatting Any change in font that signals the reader that this is important Boldface, italic 5. Layout Include aids that point readers to important information Insets, sidebar, bullets, and numbers Key to review with students – have volunteers share what they identified for each category.

From the text List the Five Categories of Text Features on the back of your grid notes and identify at least one example from the text for each category. Make sure to include a page number.

Now that you are more familiar with the TEXT FEATURES of your textbook, complete the Text Features Activity for Section 2.3. Students can be work with a partner to complete this activity.
