Description
Teach Key Skills for a Critical Reading of Challenging Non-Fiction! What most students don’t realize — and traditional non-fiction texts don’t teach — is that non-fiction is never completely objective. Our new non-fiction anthology, Reading and Analyzing Non-Fiction: Slant, Spin, and Bias, begins with teaching students the basics of how to clearly distinguish fact from interpretation and opinion. Direct instruction, models, exercises, and writing assignments will help you teach students how to read non-fiction, recognize an author’s biases, and ultimately avoid being swayed by them. All of the selections are completely unabridged, unadapted, and annotated — so you can choose to teach the whole work, or just a few pages. This comprehensive book includes both historically significant texts like the Declaration of Independence and contemporary pieces like Pulitzer Prize-winning editorials and blog entries by New York Times best-selling authors. Perfect for AP Language and Composition classes, Reading and Analyzing Non-fiction is also great for general literature courses — even writing courses — to give your students models to analyze and follow. Whether you want a text to teach your students active reading and analysis skills or simply want the best collection of non-fiction passages available, Reading and Analyzing Non-Fiction: Slant, Spin, and Bias is the book you’re looking for.
