Chapter 9

Nonfiction is everywhere and amazes me how it is not only a biography or resource book. Nonfiction or factual materials are used in our everyday lives like articles in a newspaper, a manual, a cookbook, a map and the Internet. Without even knowing it you read nonfiction materials all the time. Teaching to students can be completely beneficial to them because they will become more enthusiastic about the reading content especially in science and social studies. Nonfiction literature draws readers in it with the use of imagination and rhythmic language.
This chapter gave excellent examples of different activites to us in Nonfiction. My favorite one was Meeting of the Minds. Although, in class our classmates were unable to share with us who they were, I can definitely see how it would play out with students in a classroom and how excited they might become learning about different famous people from one another.
