Okay, So I didn't post this one because I thought I had it right.. but now im unsure.
My school appeared on the news last week because we had made an important change in our community. Our 8th grade class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work, it took much cooperation and many weeks, but it was all worth it. I got blisters from digging, and we all got insect bites, too. I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration, and then I learned about the media. This experience taught me a great deal about television news.
First, our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer — the person who assigns reporters to cover interesting stories. I never knew how people get on the news, I didn’t know you could call and tell the TV station about your school. The producer checked with the directors, but they claimed there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.
How can we change this Fictional piece to a Nonfiction piece?
A; Change the setting to one that readers are more familiar with
B. Include dialogue between the teacher and the reporter and add descriptive words that express emotion
C. Change the Method of Organization to 'spatial' so that readers can get a full description of the garden
D.Write it from the point of view of the reporter and include information on other schools with successful community gardens
Answer: B
I disagree.
Oh is it D. I misread the question
I think D is the best answer.
To change this fictional piece to a nonfiction piece, you would need to add elements that are based on real-life events and experiences. Option B, which includes dialogue between the teacher and the reporter and adds descriptive words that express emotion, is the best choice to make the piece more nonfictional.
In nonfiction writing, including dialogue helps to create a sense of authenticity by directly representing the conversations that took place. By incorporating dialogue between the teacher and the reporter, you can provide real interactions and convey the details of how the school got on the news.
Additionally, adding descriptive words that express emotion helps to make the writing more vivid and realistic. By describing the blisters from digging and the insect bites, you provide sensory details that indicate the challenges faced during the process. This type of detail is more commonly found in nonfiction writing, as it aims to accurately portray real-life experiences.
Therefore, by choosing option B and incorporating dialogue and descriptive words that express emotion, you would transform this fictional piece into a nonfiction piece.
