fiction vs nonfiction

What’s a librarian’s biggest nightmare?

When we face a problem, we can start with a plan…

What are the 2 main kinds of books that you find in a library?

Readers decide if a book is fiction or non-fiction by asking themselves:

Does the book tell a made-up story?OR

Does the book teach me all about a topic?

Does the book tell a made-up

story?OR

Does the book teach me all

about a topic?

What evidence supports your answer?

Does the book tell a made-up story?

OR Does the book

teach me all about a topic?

What evidence supports your answer?

Sort the book covers into two categories—fiction and nonfiction.

Give evidence to support your thinking.

Remember…

Writers of information books (nonfiction) books want to teach readers all about

the topic of their books.

Fiction books contain characters, places, or events that are created by the author.
