What are the types of nonfiction you are to choose from?
Expository Nonfiction
Persuasive Nonfiction
Expository means the writing is meant to explain ideas.
Persuasive means the writing is meant to convince you to believe what the writer believes.
Which do you think?
persuasive because the author wants you to help get other kids to start reading
I agree!
Determining the author's purpose and type of nonfiction from the title can be done by analyzing the keywords and context. Let's break it down:
1. Analyzing the author's purpose:
The title suggests that the article contains information on "Surprising Findings About Kids' and Teens' Reading" and "What You Can Do to Help Kids Read More." From this, we can infer that the author's purpose is likely to inform or educate the readers about the topic.
2. Determining the type of nonfiction:
To identify the type of nonfiction, we need to look for clues in the title. In this case, there is no specific indication about the type of nonfiction, such as narrative, descriptive, persuasive, or expository. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the specific type of nonfiction from the title alone.
To gain a clearer understanding of the type of nonfiction, you can consider additional information. For example, you could read the article or examine other sources that provide a summary or description of the content. This additional information may help you determine if the nonfiction is informational, argumentative, or presents a personal experience.
In this case, since we only have the title available, we can determine the author's purpose (informative/educational) but not the specific type of nonfiction.
