1 FICTION VERSUS NONFICTION

2 DEFINITIONS OF FICTION AND NONFICTION
FROM THE MERRIAM-WEBSTER DICTIONARY: Definition of fiction: Written stories about people and events that are not real; literature that tells stories imagined by the writer Definition of nonfiction: Writing that is about facts or real events : all writing that is not fiction

3 FICTION OR NONFICTION? Terry Bradshaw was born in Louisiana on September 2, Terry played in the NFL for 14 years.  He spent these 14 years  playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Terry led Pittsburgh to 4 super bowl titles and he was a 2 time super bowl MVP. Today you can see Terry on TV as a sports announcer.                                                 

4 FICTION OR NONFICTION?     George Washington was the first President of the United States and one of the most important leaders in United States history.  George Washington was born  February 22, 1732 and died on December 14,   He was 67 years old.  On April 30, 1789 Washington took the oath of office.  He was our President for 8 years. 

5 FICTION OR NONFICTION? A big part of what we eat is made up of plants or parts of plants.  Plants contain many of the nutrients that help us live healthy lives.  We eat plant roots like carrots, beets and turnips.  We eat seeds when we eat lima beans, peas, sunflower seeds and many others.  Growing plants to eat can be easy and a great way to have healthy foods right in your own back yard.                                    

6 FICTION OR NONFICTION?      Did you ever see an elephant in a purple coat play a tuba?  Well I did.      I was on my way to school and this elephant was walking towards me.  He was dressed in a purple coat with long tails and was playing his tuba.  I stopped and asked him if he was lost and he said, "No, just on my way to my tuba lesson."  I didn't know what to say so I just kept walking.      When I got to school I told my friend Madison what I saw.  She didn't believe me.  In gym class I told my friend Sue and she thought I was crazy.       I knew nobody would ever believe me so I decided that this would be my own little secret.  I KNEW what I saw and it was an elephant in a purple jacket playing the tuba!
