Why is it important for cultures to continue to share their stories, fables, and folktales?
Why is it important to know the main topic of an informational text?
How do the paragraphs within an informational text contribute to the main topic?
How does a writer use facts and definitions to develop points?
Different cultures use stories, fables, and folktales to teach younger members of the group about the values, beliefs, and culture of the group. It is important for the reader to know the main topic of the text so that he/she can understand the author’s message. Paragraphs in a text discuss different key details that will help the reader to understand the entire main topic.
A writer chooses which facts and definitions are needed to develop his/her points in informative and explanatory texts.
