  3. Fiction vs. Non-Fiction TAKE NOTES • Fiction • A made-up story • Can be about anything (trips to Mars, your imaginary best friend) • Most novels are fiction (romance, science fiction, etc.)

  4. Fiction vs. Non-Fiction TAKE NOTES • Non-Fiction • “Real” accounts of things that have happened • Informative texts • Can be the story of someone’s life (autobiography). • Most FCAT passages are non-fiction

  5. Parts of Fiction TAKE NOTES • Plot (narrative pattern) • Characters • Setting • Point of View • Theme

  6. Parts of Fiction NO NOTES • Plot (this week) • Characters (this week) • Setting (next week) • Point of View (next week) • Theme (next week)
