Nonfiction Text Structures | Slides, Informational Passages & Graphic Organizers

Description

Students LOVE the high-quality, original passages that cover five different overall nonfiction text structures: description, sequence, compare and contrast, cause and effect, and problem/solution. Your students will be able to easily see how the structures are developed. Working with examples of these structures will provide excellent scaffolding for applying the framework to their own essays.

These activities are guaranteed to make teaching nonfiction structures engaging and fun without sacrificing the standards.

Author’s Note: Multisensory learning has such a positive impact on neural activity in the brain! You might think about providing each group with a couple of sugary items mentioned in the text. Not much, but enough for them to suck on & experience while reading!
