Using nonfiction and informational texts is the biggest change for teachers with the new CCSS. What is an informational text? This definition is debated by many (see Colman below), but the CCSS includes any types of texts that are non-narrative or nonfictional in nature, including texts that function as "how to" genres. By 2014, the CCSS state that each grade increases in the amount and complexity of informational text that they expect students to read "independently and proficiently". (35) This could mean that seniors will read up to 80% informational texts in their English classes! This page will be devoted to ways teachers can help students work with different genres (structures) of texts, such as newspapers, magazines, maps, a set of directions, etc.
