Features of a Non-fiction text

FEATURES OF A NON-FICTION TEXT

1. The contents page is after the title page of the book.

2. The index page is at the end of the book.

3. The glossary is before the index and gives the meaning of some words.

4. There are mainly photographs because non-fiction means true.

5. Some diagrams have labels to explain the diagram.

My Reflection: I am learning about the features of a non-fiction text/book.  I found it tricky
when I didn't know why diagrams have labels.  I was proud when I figured out the features of a non-fiction text/book.  What I should do next is to use this knowledge  in my own non-fiction books.
