Nonfiction is a genre that encompasses nonfiction or informal books as well as biographies. Quality nonfiction is said to spark wonder as well as the joy in learning. I myself don't necessarily dislike nonfiction, I would just rather read something that is not true. With an expository text of nonfiction you willl need to read more than just that one book in order to continue it and know what is going on throughout the rest. A nonfiction book will have a copyright page and not a veso page. You will always see a table of contents in nonfiction. There is a very important aspect to a nonfiction book. It needs to be pleasing to the eye of the reader. Certain font is chosen for that specific reason. For the book to have accuracy, the author info should always be easily found. As a reader, you should always look for the background of the author. it needs to be short and sweet but it also needs to be interesting.

This is a really good website for students to go if they were doing a biography for school. I know there is only so many teachers who can do biographies or book reports so this would be helpful, along with a biography of a president such as this one here.
Shakespeare was a wonderful author, play right, and scholar. I find it truly fascinating. The wording always throws me off but if it is something that you are required to read in high school even it's hard to grasp. I love Macbeth it is my absolute favorite. I wasn't sure that it would be considered a non fiction but it is and I am so glad. I would encourage it as a light summer read maybe the summer before the 12Th grade rather than earlier. It gives the students more time to get to know the author.
