The Features You Need in Text
You are in the library at your school
The facts are all running together which isn’t cool.
It’s research paper time in class
And you need an A in order to pass.
You have to research and write about a topic of choice,
When you finish this assignment, you will certainly rejoice.
You know your teacher talked about nonfiction text features in class,
But you must have been daydreaming because the facts on the page are a blurred mass.
You ask your friend John to remind you about the features found in text
Because your mind has become just too perplexed.
There are 45 minutes for you to review and research so that you can write.
Pay attention and focus, and get your work done, you just might.
Italics, bold, highlights, TITLES, SUBTITLES, pictures, captions, and maps.
Bullet points, graphs, diagrams, illustrations...learn them all so there are no gaps.
