 Non-fiction is writing that tells about real people, places, and events. WHAT IS IT?

 Non-fiction is written to convey factual information  Non-fiction is written with a variety of purposes; it depends on the author’s attitude towards a subject.  Non-fiction writing can have the purpose to teach/inform, persuade, inspire, or entertain the reader. WHAT DOES IT HAVE?

 Biography – true account of a person’s life written by another person. It involves research of another person’s life.  Autobiography- a writer’s account on his or her own life.

 Other types of non-fiction include: newspapers, magazines, sports writing, speeches, movie reviews, essays, letters, etc. WHAT ELSE?

 Much like fiction, we can find a couple of things.  Non-fiction can have the parts of plot: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution  There can also be conflicts.  Inferences and generalizations can be present in the work as well! WHAT CAN WE FIND IN NON- FICTION

 Inference: an educated guess  It can be correct or faulty  Example: If the sky is gray, you can infer that there is a possibility that it could rain. INFERENCE

 It is a broad (not too specific) statement or idea that applies to a group of people or things  Often times, they are not entirely true because there are example of people and things that do not apply to the statement.  Examples: All parents try to make life difficult for their children Dogs are smarter than cats. GENERALIZATION
