There is well-established lexicon for describing fiction. Nonfiction needs something similar.<br /><br />I'm not a fan on "informational text" because people don't use it consistently. I generally use "nonfiction." I think Marc Aronson may have come up with the best term of all--"reality books." What do you think?Melissa Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04322048827106827307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488042654610511802.post-52280102742726127782014-05-14T10:55:05.568-04:002014-05-14T10:55:05.568-04:00I have been trying to figure out how to best do th...I have been trying to figure out how to best do this as well to help teachers I work with.
