This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here is the complete question:
Which nonfiction genre instructs or teaches the reader how to do something?
A. How-to
B. History
C. Humor
D. Biography
The answer is A. How-to
Explanation:
In general, texts are classified into genres according to their function and features. In the case of texts such as manuals or recipes that guide readers through a process or teach them something, these belong to the how-to genre. The how-to genre as indicated by its name focuses on "how to do" things for example, how to cook lasagna or how to repair the washing machine. Moreover, this is part of nonfiction writing because it is based on real processes. According to this, this is the genre that instructs readers on how to do something.
The correct option is the last one, <em><u>students wouldn't use a rubric to organize their thoughts before they begin writing. </u></em>
The reason for that to not happen is that <u>rubric is an evaluation </u>tool which means that it helps in the grading process. It is a model that have listed particular criteria to grade the student’s academic projects, tests or papers. To do so, this method focuses on evaluating the way the student performs while doing the work.
The rest of the options can't be considered because those are some of the uses of a rubric, they are:
- To check if their writting fits with the criteria of the assignment.
- To grade a student's writting.
- To help them to understand the criteria of an assignment.
