Definition: A piece of nonfictional writing such as a story, report, opinion piece, or entry in a newspaper, magazine, journal, dictionary, encyclopedia, etc.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a peek,
At “articles,” a term we need to speak!
The dictionary's right, it’s quite clear and bright,
It describes writing with a focused light.
Think of it this way, a written piece you see,
Not just made up stories for you and me.
Like a
report
detailing facts so true,
Or an
opinion
view, fresh and new!
A
story
told, a narrative grand,
A
newspaper
article, close at hand.
Magazines, journals, dictionaries too,
Encyclopedias – knowledge for you!
So “articles” means writing factual and real,
Not fantastical tales that we often feel.
Does that make sense? Any questions to share?
Let’s discuss it together with thoughtful care!
