Quotables:

As an educator and as an adult you and I both know that you are never done learning, this means that learning how to navigate non fiction is a lifelong skill.
In addition, learning how to navigate nonfiction will also teach students how to take in new information and decide how to think about it and what they think about it.
Because nonfiction text may include bias therefore, students will need to be taught how to identify the author's purpose in order to help them discern this.
