More text structures

Now that our fifth graders have learned about text structures, we're having them work in table teams to read various articles or old copies of Time for Kids to determine which type is used.

They had a guided organizer in their notebooks that they're adding to as they discover the structure of different articles.







They did a really great job with modeling their thinking and working with their partners.  We read The Scoop on Dino Poop, Jack Roosevelt Robinson and several different articles on the history of Thanksgiving.

We had them compare & contrast the text structures.  Monday we'll write a guided group constructed response about the text structures :)
