Fiction and Non-Fiction: Compare Text Features

Compare fiction and nonfiction by sorting a mixed bank of text features. Students place the features in two category areas and add observations from example books. Have them point to a feature in an actual text when possible, making the comparison concrete rather than relying only on the labels.

Curriculum reference — Ontario: Text-feature classification needs a close language objective rather than a blanket reading badge. Ontario Grade2 distinguishes characteristics of literary and informational forms. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
