Study Notes

The primary purpose of informational/factual text is to inform, educate, or explain a topic, providing readers with facts, data, and information.
An informational report presents information about a specific topic, often providing definitions, descriptions, and explanations to help readers understand the subject.

Informational texts are typically structured in a logical and organized manner, often using a clear and concise format to convey information.
The text may be divided into sections, subheadings, and paragraphs to make it easier to read and understand.

In the context of informational/factual text, to entertain does not mean to amuse or distract, but rather to engage the reader's interest and make the information more appealing and accessible.
To persuade in informational/factual text means to present information in a way that influences the reader's understanding or opinion on a topic, without necessarily convincing them to adopt a particular point of view.
