Different Types of Writing

What type of writing is this? Learners read a brief introduction to various types of text: instructions, explanations, poems, folk tales, novels, informative, and arguments. The introduction doesn't explain these, so consider going over them first. Pupils read 10 sentence fragments to determine which type is represented by each. They choose one of the fiction extracts and expand upon it in a finished paragraph. Consider using this idea as a creative writing prompt: scholars close their eyes and point to a sentence in a book which they use as their first sentence.
