It’s A Fact
Most of the literature we’ve been studying this
year has been fiction, made up stories that
didn’t really take place.
It’s A Fact
Much of what you encounter in everyday life is
non-fiction, factual information about real
people, places, things, and events.
It’s A Fact
With so much information out there, how do you
make sense of it all? Where do you even start?
Try This Experiment
• You have one minute to read each of the next
two articles.
• They cover the same material but present it
using different methods.
• One is written in a simple text format, while
the other uses text features.
Science has demonstrated that drinking water
increases the human metabolism. Additionally, it
decreases hunger pangs and has been linked to a
decrease in colon, breast and bladder cancers. At
the same time, drinking water increases energy,
focus, and memory. Coke, on the other hand, is
said to remove grease from clothes, stains from
toilet bowls, and rust from bumpers, batteries, and
bolts. In some states, members of the highway
patrol reportedly carry containers of Coke in their
patrol cars to remove blood from the highway.
Thirsty? Grab a water.
