We are learning about nonfiction text structures in ELA. Today we focused on Problem & Solution. After reading a problem and solution example, I wrote my own. Here it is:
I have a BIG problem to share. There is a princess stuck in a tower and she can’t get out! What should I do!? Ooh! I do have a few ideas.
- I could get a REALLY tall ladder and she could climb down.
- The police could bring a huge padded trampoline and she could jump out the window and she could jump onto it.
- We could look closer and see if there are ANY ways for her to get out.
- We could get a hot air balloon and she could ride down to the ground in the hot air balloon.
I guess that I could get this princess out of the tower! YAY!
P.S.
She does not have long enough hair to climb down.
I love this! Are you noticing this kind of text structure in books you are reading? How do you feel about it? As for rescuing the princess…you should ask the 6th and 7th graders about their rescue plans from last year’s EtC class.
This is great! I love that she’s in a tower and that she DOESN’T have hair long enough to climb down. You have some good ideas! Wouldn’t it be crazy if all that time she assumed the door was locked but really its unlocked and she could just open it, go down the stairs and walk out the front door?!!! 🙂
