How to Read Fact Sheets, Instructive Texts and Travel Writing

Subjects / English / Media and Non-Fiction Texts

Price: £1.95 Duration: 19mins Full topic price: £10.95

In this title we are going to discuss how to read instructions in order to receive the most information from them and how to analyse whether they are effective. Instructions are often written down and can be in the form of notes to jog your memory about completing a task such as 'collect dry cleaning'. However, many instructions or fact sheets require more detail to describe how to do something or explain what to do accurately and precisely. Travel writing is also included in this title as it deals with facts in the form of directions to a particular place and what the holiday destination has to offer. However, there is more opportunity in travel writing for the writer to put forward their opinion, and this is where you, as the critical reader, have to be particularly careful.
