MARIEMONT ELEMENTARY LIBRARY

Lyrical Fact Text - In these texts, writers pay some sort of lyrical tribute to their subjects, either through story or poetry or beautiful description, and then somewhere in the text (often at the end, but sometimes to the side or in the pictures) facts that support the tribute are pulled out and explained, much as they might be in an encyclopedia or reference book.  Writers of these texts are able to address nonfiction subjects in compelling ways for readers.
