The past week has been spent studying the five types of nonfiction text structures in class. Our studies included brainstorming sessions, anchor charts, note taking and reading many nonfiction examples to determine text structures. 

Yesterday and today students read and examined articles to connect text structure to author purpose. We discussed how authors may choose different structures to best support their purpose of writing. 

Our next step will be to talk about how identifying text structure can help one decide how to take notes while reading. 

Students- don’t forget that you have two FICTION reading responses due on Friday! 🙂
