  1. Recognizing text structure and questions ELA- “The Time Is Now”

  2. What are the questions looking for? • To see if you can • Find an order (sequence) • Compare and Contrast • Describe • Find the problem and a solution • Find a cause and an effect

  3. Sequential Order • Texts that follow this structure tell the order in which steps in a process or series of events occur. • Questions to Consider • What happened? • What is the sequence of events? • What are the substages? • Graphic Organizers • Flow Map • Multi-flow Map • Timeline

  4. Sequential Order Signal Words As you’re reading, you may see many of these words. Some questions may include these words and ask you to consider: Ex: What happened first? Next, and/or last?

  5. Compare and Contrast • Texts that follow this structure tell about the differences and similarities of two or more objects, places, events or ideas by grouping their traits for comparison. • Questions to Consider • What are the similar and different qualities of these things? • What qualities of each thing correspond to one another? In what way? • Graphic Organizers • Double Bubble Map • Venn Diagram

  6. Compare and Contrast Signal Words As you’re reading, you may see many of these words. Some questions may include these words and ask you to consider: Ex: Look at the two types of squirrels? What do they have in common?

  7. Description • This structure resembles an outline. Each section opens with its main idea, then elaborates on it, sometimes dividing the elaboration into subsections. • Questions to Consider • What are you describing? • What are its qualities? • Graphic Organizers • Bubble Map

  8. Description Signal Words As you’re reading, you may see many of these words. Some questions may include these words and ask you to consider: Ex: How would you describe Leah’s actions towards her mother?

  9. Problem-Solution • The writer presents a problem then expounds upon possible solutions for that problem. • Questions to Consider • What is the problem? • What are the possible solutions? • Which solution is best? • How will you implement this solution? • Graphic Organizers • Circle Map • Flow Map • Multi-flow Map

  10. Problem-Solution Signal Words As you’re reading, you may see many of these words. Some questions may include these words and ask you to consider: Ex: What is the major conflict in the story?

  11. Cause and Effect • In texts that follow this structure, the reader is told the result of an event or occurrence and the reasons it happened. • Questions to Consider • What are the causes and effects of this event? • What might happen next? • Graphic Organizers • Multi-flow Map

  12. Cause and Effect Signal Words As you’re reading, you may see many of these words. Some questions may include these words and ask you to consider: Ex: What happened as a result of the torrential rainfall?

  13. Examples of Text Structure • DescriptionExample: "The crocodile is the master of deception in the water. It stalks its prey and then swiftly closes in for the kill.“ • Problem/SolutionExample: "One problem to resolve in crocodile watching is transportation. How can an observer get close enough to watch without scaring it away or being attacked?“ • Sequential OrderExample: "Archaeologists have helped us to understand that the evolution of the crocodile began with ...”

  14. More Examples • Comparison/ContrastExample: "The power of the crocodile is like that of a monstrous machine. With one lunge it can destroy its prey and protect the kill from other predators.“ • Cause/Effect Example: "We observed the crocodile as it stalked a raccoon moving through the moonlight toward the edge of the water. As a result of a noise we made, the raccoon bolted...“ • DirectionsExample: "When observing a crocodile, first you must...”
