Lesson 3 Analyzing Factual NonFictional Elements in The Text

Analyzing Factual/Nonfictional
Elements in the Texts

Lesson 3
Objectives
In this lesson, you are expected to
analyze factual/nonfictional elements like plot,
characters, characterization, point of view,
angle, setting and atmosphere, symbols and
symbolisms, irony, figures of speech,
dialogue, scene and other elements and
devices in texts.
• The absence of nonfiction writing for young
readers may have genuine ramifications since
verifiable education matters.
• Nonfiction materials set the pot inside which
readers can pick up information and abilities that
empower them to arrive at quality choices in all
fields of life; keep away from artlessness
conceived of numbness; and take part in an
educated and dynamic populace.
• Nonfiction is the money with which open
arrangements and enactment are sanctioned;
cultural requirements are talked about; social feel
are characterized; life exercises are passed on;
logical discoveries and verifiable stories are
communicated; and matters of war and harmony
are chosen.
• Because you read something
does not make it valid on the
grounds that something is
verifiable does not mean it is
exact. It is imperative to
ponder what you read.
