FICTION & NON-FICTION: TEXT SUMMARIZING ORGANIZER TEMPLATES

Fiction and non-fiction are two broad categories of writing that are commonly used to classify books, articles, and other written works.

Fiction refers to stories that are imagined and invented by the author, often featuring characters, events, and settings that are not based on real life. Examples of fiction include novels, short stories, and poetry.

Non-fiction, on the other hand, refers to writing that is based on facts, real events, and real people. Non-fiction can take many different forms, including essays, biographies, memoirs, and news articles.

Text summarizing organizer templates are tools that can be used to help organize and summarize the key points of a piece of writing, whether it is fiction or non-fiction. These templates typically include sections for identifying the main characters, settings, and events in a work of fiction, or for summarizing the main arguments, evidence, and conclusions of a non-fiction work. By using these templates, readers can better understand and retain the information presented in a piece of writing.
