Some educators think that in our global,tech-oriented world, students need to focus on nonfiction texts such as news stories technical manuals, or other informational materials. They say that reading poetry novels and short stories is not the optimal use of the limited time that students have in the classroom How do you view this approach to education? Should schools limit the teaching of fictional texts in favor of teaching more practical, nonfiction texts'?
Student A
Education has to evolve, Nowadays there's an enormous amount of economic and political data freely available online. It's important that students evaluate this information to understand local and world events in order to be good citizens.Reading fiction is a wonderful hobby but school should prepare students for adult life and its responsibilities.

I appreciate both ideas from Andrew and Claire. In my opinion, learning fiction is essential for education because it enables students to become more creative. Creativity is the foundation of different inventions and philosophical theories, which makes it essential for both students majored in science and the ones who majored art. Writing fictions involved building up new plots and characters which can trigger ones’ imagination and creativity. By learning the fictional stories, such as novels and poems, students are able to understand the authors’ innovative thoughts and may even try to come up with new stories themselves. / Comparing to studying only nonfiction texts with all of the historical events, fictions enable students to stay creative of producing new story events instead of relying on the status quo. Therefore, I believe that learning fictional stories is essential for the students to stay creative.

Section Title: The Importance of Fiction in Education
In my opinion, incorporating fiction into education is crucial as it fosters creativity among students. Creativity serves as the bedrock for various inventions and philosophical theories, making it indispensable for both science and art majors. Engaging with fiction entails constructing original plots and characters, which can stimulate one's imagination and innovative thinking. By delving into novels and poems, students gain insight into the author's inventive ideas and may even be inspired to create their own stories. In contrast to solely studying nonfiction texts that focus on historical events, fiction encourages students to generate novel storylines rather than merely relying on established facts. Consequently, I firmly believe that exposure to fictional narratives is essential for nurturing creativity in students. (126 words)
