3.3 Nonfiction Feature Find

Now it is time to really be a detective. You will complete a chart showing what text features you can find. You can use newspapers, magazines, school textbooks, recipe books, manuals, books you own, library books, websites (with permisison), pamphlets - anything nonfiction. Perhaps you've even been able to go to the library to sign out some nonfiction books to help you with this unit.

Download and complete 3.3 Nonfiction Feature Find. You can print and complete the pdf or you can download the document to complete on your computer.

Submission Options:

  • Attach a document completed on your computer using the dropbox below.
  • Scan it as one big .pdf file. (best idea)
  • Drop it off with your teacher. (also a great idea, but more difficult to return)
  • Scan it as multiple .jpg's and put them into a single WORD document.
  • If no other way works, pull out your phone and take pictures. (Make them good pictures; then embed them all into a single word document.)

If you have a new scanner and are trying to figure out the best way to scan your submission, here are some tips:

  • Paper Size: 8.5 x 11 inches (most typical or can be resized later)
  • Colour Format: Grayscale (keeps file smaller then color, yet still clear)
  • File Type: PDF (best), or JPG (if PDF isn't available)
  • Resolution: 150 or 200 (can use 300 if small details don't show with 150/200)

If you are scanning or taking pictures, please do not submit pages or images as separate files. You can combine your scans or images into a single document (page-by-page) and submit your work as one file.
