In most schools, students are deeply immersed in their informational writing unit at this time of year, so I thought it might be helpful to share the table below, which appears on p. 54 of 5 Kinds of Nonfiction.
While the book discusses each of these craft moves in detail—with half a chapter on text features and format, a whole chapter devoted to text structures, and another chapter that takes a close up look at voice, rich language, and point of view—this quick reference chart can help you find books that will make great mentor texts for teaching various elements of informational writing.
Enjoy!
