What is the best way to label/describe expository text with headings, subtitles, table of contents, etc. and other informational text. For example, I have a lot of those National Geographic hardcover text in various title that do not have headings, but are explaining a subject. Are there any rules or guidelines that define the different non-fiction texts? So far my categories are: Expository, non-fiction, realistic fiction and biographies? I don't want to teach something that's not correct, like telling them that expository text will have a table of contents, because so do chapter books. I teach 2nd grade.
