9. Grade 8 Literary COMPARE AND CONTRAST THE STRUCTURE OF TWO OR MORE TEXTS Analyze how the differing structure of each text contributes to MEANING STYLE and Sherrie Clark & Pam Nolte

10. GR.5 INFORM: COMPARE AND CONTRAST THE OVERALL STRUCTURE OF EVENTS, IDEAS, CONCEPTS OR INFORMATION IN TWO OR MORE TEXTS. • Which text was more effective in explaining plant and animal cells, _________ (text title) which used compare/contrast or ____ (text title) which used description? Use examples from the texts to support your opinion. • How is the overall structure used in the explanation of photosynthesis in ______ (text title) and _____ (text title) alike and different? Use examples from the texts to support your comparison. Sherrie Clark & Pam Nolte

11. Grade 6 • Analyze how a particular sentence, paragraph, chapter, or section fits into the overall structure of a text and contributes to the development of ideas. Sherrie Clark & Pam Nolte

12. Step 1: Analyze how a particular sentence, paragraph, chapter, or section fits into the overall structure of a text Page 848 “SUPERCROC” • What type of structure is the overall text? • sequence • problem/solution • cause /effect • description • This section fits into the overall structure of a text by detailing the extinction of the SuperCroc. It makes sense that the last section talk about the end of the SuperCroc. What Did SuperCroc Eat? “Anything it wanted,” Sereno says ……………………. What Happened to SuperCroc? The giant beast probably lived only a few million years……………………. Sherrie Clark & Pam Nolte

13. Step 2: How does a particular sentence, paragraph, chapter, or sectioncontribute to the development of ideas? What Happened to SuperCroc? The giant beast probably lived only a few million years. That raises a huge question: Why didn’t SuperCroc survive? Sereno suspects that SuperCrocs were fairly rare… Disease or disaster could have wiped out the species pretty quickly. But no one knows for sure what killed the SuperCroc. This section fits into the overall structure of a text detailing the extinction of the SuperCroc. This further conveys the author’s purpose to inform the reader about the SuperCroc. Sherrie Clark & Pam Nolte

14. Grade 7 • Analyze the structure an author uses to organize a text, including how the major sections contribute to the whole and to the development of ideas. Sherrie Clark & Pam Nolte

15. Step 1: Analyze the structure of the text page 876 “WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT SHARKS?” Which Shark Is the Most Dangerous to Humans? “In terms of fatal attacks, it is a toss up ……………………. • What type of structure is the overall text? • sequence • problem/solution • cause /effect • description Where Do Most Shark Attacks Happen? Florida leads the world in shark bites……………………. Just How Powerful Is a Shark Bite? Scientists built a “shark-bite meter”…………………………. Sherrie Clark & Pam Nolte

16. Step 2: How does a major section contribute to the whole and development of ideas? Where Do Most Shark Attacks Happen? Florida leads the world in shark bites, with 22-25 reported incidents each year. But, claims Hueter, they’re not repeated shark atttacks-usually a single bite… “Most really bad attacks occur off the coasts of California, Hawaii, Australia and South Africa,” Hueter says. This section contributes to the whole text by describing specific shark attack locations which contributes to the author’s purpose of providing knowledge about sharks. Sherrie Clark & Pam Nolte

17. Grade 8 Informational • Analyze in detail the structure of a specific paragraph in a text, including the role of particular sentences in developing and refining a key concept. Sherrie Clark & Pam Nolte

18. Step 1: Analyze the structure of a paragraphPage 933 “Robo-Legs” Terminator Legs When his legs ran out of power……………………………………………………………………………………………. • What type of structure is this paragraph? • sequence • problem/solution • cause /effect • description Springer also remembers going to see Star Wars: Episode III- Revenge of the Sith. ………………………………………. “We have a long way to go before we get anything like that.” …………………………… Sherrie Clark & Pam Nolte

19. Step 2: What role does this sentence have in developing and refining a key concept? Springer also remembers going to see Star Wars: Episode III- Revenge of the Sith with his father. While he liked the movie, he found the final scenes- in which Anakin Skywalker loses his arms and legs in a light-saber battle and is rebuilt with fully functional prosthetics to become the infamous Darth Vader- a little far-fetched. This sentence develops the idea of science breakthroughs. It does this by connecting what was thought to be only possible in science fiction to what is now possible today. Sherrie Clark & Pam Nolte
