Guided Practice 1.3 A2: Getting to Know Sightlines

Introduction

Your English 10 textbook, Sightlines 10, is different from other textbooks as it's a collection (or anthology) of readings. It follows many conventions of textbook layout, but being an anthology, versus an informational text, there are a few differences as well.

Instructions

Using the textbook layout conventions listed in the table, list all the conventions Sightlines 10 does not include. Then list any new sections Sightlines 10 has that aren't listed in the table. (Hint: you should be able to find two items for each.)

1. Conventions Sightlines 10 does not have:

**Answer**
an index a glossary

2. New Sections in Sightlines 10 not listed in the table include:

**Answer**
an author's biography a second table of contents. The first table of contents organizes the readings by theme. The second table of contents organizes by genre (types of work they are, for example, short story, poetry, non-fiction, or image). This helps the readers as they can look for a work by theme or genre.
