Nonfiction

What is Nonfiction? 

What sorts of books would be appropriate for that Book-of-the-Month Project? 

• Literary nonfiction -- The book is written as a story or series of stories focused on a single topic.

• Other books that focus on one subject

• Biographies and Autobiographies 

• We will not use books that cover many subjects, how-to books,  joke books, etc.

• If in doubt, ask the teacher.

Nonfiction: Biography

From February-March 2011 -- Short Story (that's fiction): I read and enjoyed a biography of Mark Twain, so I went back to reread "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County."  It's such a fun story.  I found the full text at http://www.classicshorts.com/stories/frog.html
