I never realized there is so many realms in non-fictions. I, also, thought it was interesting that all those little shape books and color books are a form of non-fiction. I have a ton of them left from my classroom. I have always kept because I didn't know what grade I would be teaching. Now I want to keep them to show older students that they are a form of non-fiction.
The different types of fiction that Professor Picket brought to close was very eye opening. Looking at those books, I realized different reading levels will be able to do research. Then when I went to visit with my niece this weekend, she had a comic book. It was bound like a book, but it was filled with comics from the American Revolution. I never really liked history when I was in school, and neither does my niece, but she does like very illustrated books. The fact that she was able to recite facts from that time period was very impressive. She hates history.
The book was called Road to Revolution by Stan Mack. More can be found at
