Today’s post is Text Structures for Different Types of Writing. I designed this tool for teachers, but there are many pages that will also be good resource materials for students. In this handy guide, you’ll find a quick overview of the text types (i.e., Argumentative, Informational, Narrative) in the Common Core State Standards. AFter that, I’ve included my content cards for the following five text structures: compare/contrast, cause/effect, problem/solution, sequence, and description.
Check these out to see if they are something you can use! Here’s the link: http://datadeb.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/001_text_structures-deb-wahsltrom.pdf
I love these! Are they available for 6th through 8th grade?
Glad you like these; I am working on another set for middle school and will post them when they are finished. Thanks for asking!
I love the way your content cards are organized. What a great resource. Thanks you.
Thank you for sharing your Content Cards at the high school. I noticed in a previous blog, someone asked if you were creating these for middle school. Do you plan on creating this for elementary grades 3-5?
I do. It’s just a matter of when I can get to it.
I love this….is this available with the standards for 3-5? I would love to use the text structure cards but would need the standards for the lower grades since I teach 4th grade.
Looks like I need to get this done sooner rather than later!
Great resource. I teach Middle school and I simply cross referenced the standards for my grade. Thank you for sharing ;))
These are incredible! Thank you so much. I too would like to see them for K-5.
I love these too! I am also looking for elementary and middle school text structure information. I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Thank you so very much! These are awesome.
Thank you so much for this resource. It is so well structured.
