LSSL 5385 Chapter 12 Review
Ch. 12
In chapter twelve, the genre of nonfiction books is discussed. According to the chapter, it is not
easy to define the genre of nonfiction because it is “an umbrella term of sorts”. Although it is
difficult to define, there is a list of 5 criteria that must be met in order to define a book as
nonfiction. This list includes; the qualifications of the author, accurate facts, the purpose of the
book, the organization of the book assist readers in locating information, and the role of visuals
throughout the book.

As a freshman English teacher, I focus my teaching on nonfiction reading and writing,
because students really seem to struggle with reading these works. I haven’t figured out
what it is that makes reading nonfiction so difficult for my students, but it is clearly a
weakness for many. Perhaps my students struggle with this genre because they might
not be interested in the subjects in the stories, or what the passages are talking about.
