My students have been deconstructing non-fiction texts. We found that informational texts include many features to help the reader find facts quickly (index, glossary, subtitles, table of contents), and features that help a reader to understand the facts more clearly (pictures, labelled diagrams, cutaways, close ups, captions etc.) Students became detectives and did a scavenger hunt to find the features of non-fiction books in our classroom. From there we created success criteria that we would need to write our own non-fiction reports. Here are some of the anchor charts I created to guide the kids.
