How to choose a text type

The text type shapes how a passage is organized and what the learner practices.

• Fiction or narrative uses characters, setting, events, and a story structure.
• Informational or explanatory teaches a topic using facts and clear organization.
• Biography tells the story of a real person's life; verify dates and claims carefully.
• Argumentative or opinion writing presents a position and supporting reasons.
• Readers theater uses roles and dialogue for shared oral reading.

The exact choices can vary by language, grade, or creation surface. Pick the closest instructional purpose, then describe any essential structure in the prompt. Review the generated result: selecting a type guides the AI but does not guarantee a perfect model text.
