criteria for judging good informational texts- Correll Book Award - 0 views

From the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects (p. 57) comes this definition of Informational texts. Includes the subgenres of exposition, argument and functional text in the form of personal essay, speeches, opinion pieces, essays about art or literature, biographies, memoirs, journalism, and historical, scientific, technical, or economic accounts (including digital sources) written for a broad audience. This definition includes what the above definition would call informational texts, but broadens it to include the other nonfiction texts that were excluded by the Correll definition. The Common Core ELA standards include reading and writing a wide variety of nonfiction texts, not just informational texts by the narrower definition of the Correll Award.
