The Case of the Missing Cookie

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named


Lily. She baked a delicious chocolate chip cookie. But
when she went to eat it, the cookie was gone!
Lily was very sad. She wanted to find the cookie.
So, she started to think. She remembered where she
left the cookie, when she left it, and what the cookie
looked like.
Lily used these facts to search for the cookie.
She looked under the couch, behind the door, and
even in the fridge! Finally, she found the cookie under
a pile of books.
Questions:
1.What did Lily do to find the cookie?
2.What kind of information did Lily use
to find the cookie?
3.Can you think of a time when you lost
something? How did you find it?
4.Why is it important to remember facts?
What is a Factual Text?
A factual text is a type of writing
that tells us about real things. It's
like a real-life story, but instead of
making things up, it gives us facts
and information.
Types of
Factual Texts
• Description
• What is it? A descriptive text paints a picture with
words. It helps us see, hear, smell, taste, or feel
something in our minds.
• Example: Imagine you're describing your favorite
toy, a fluffy teddy bear named Teddy. You might say,
"Teddy is as soft as a cloud. He has big, brown eyes
that sparkle like stars. His fur is a warm, golden
brown color, and he smells faintly of vanilla. Teddy
loves to cuddle, and he's always there to listen when
I need a friend."
• Discussion/Argument
• What is it? A discussion or argument text presents
different sides of an issue. It's like a debate, where
people share their opinions and reasons.
• Example: Let's say you're discussing whether kids
should have more playtime. You could argue that
playtime is important for kids' physical and mental
health. It helps them develop their imagination,
creativity, and social skills. On the other hand, you
could argue that kids need more time for studying
and homework.
• Persuasion
• What is it? A persuasive text tries to convince
someone to think or do something. It's like a
commercial, but with words instead of pictures.
• Example: You could write a persuasive text to
convince your parents to let you get a pet dog. You
might say, "A dog can be a loyal and loving
companion. It can teach us responsibility, as we
need to feed, walk, and care for it. Having a dog can
also be a great way to get exercise and spend time
outdoors."
• Procedural
• What is it? A procedural text gives step-by-step
instructions on how to do something. It's like a recipe
or a set of rules.
• Example: A procedural text on how to make a
peanut butter and jelly sandwich might say:
1.Gather your ingredients
2.Spread the peanut butter
3.Spread the jelly
4.Put the sandwich together
• Recount
• What is it? A recount text retells past events. It's like
telling a story about something that happened to
you.
• Example: You could write a recount about your last
birthday party. You might say, "Last Saturday was my
birthday, and it was so much fun! We had a party at
my house, and all my friends and family came. We
played games like hide-and-seek and pin the tail on
the donkey. We ate pizza and cake, and I opened
lots of presents. It was the best birthday ever!"
