  1. Non-fiction Text Structures

  2. Warm-up: Give an example of a Fiction Text and A Non-fiction Text.*Type your answer in the chat. EQ: What qualities of character matter most? I can:distinguish between the various organizational structures of a nonfiction text. (RI.6.5, RI.6.10) Margaret Bourke-White: Fearless Photographer

  3. I can:distinguish between the various organizational structures of a nonfiction text

  4. Text structure? This is how the text is organized. Nonfiction has lots of text structures. Each paragraph may be different.

  5. We will learn 5 types of nonfiction text structures: Description Sequence Compare and Contrast Cause and Effect Problem and Solution .

  6. description ◈Provides descriptive details about characteristics, actions, etc. ◈Includes structures that define concepts and provide examples ◈Lists facts usually by a qualifying characteristic, such as size or importance

  7. Example: Soccer Soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world. Millions of people play soccer. It is a fairly simple game to learn. Players try to move the ball down the field and kick it into their goal. However, a goalie stands in front of the goal and tries to block any shot the other team makes. If a team gets the ball in the goal, they score one point. Players need to know the rules. You are not allowed to touch the ball with your hands unless you are the goalie, or you are throwing the ball onto the field from the sideline. You are also not allowed to tackle other players. The referee watches to make sure each player follows the rules.

  8. sequence ◈Uses criteria such as dates and time to order concepts, facts, or events ◈May follow a sequence of events in a process or how something works ◈Can also be cyclical

  9. Example: Deviled Eggs Pop out (remove) the egg yolks to a small bowl and mash with a fork. Add mayonnaise, mustard powder, vinegar, salt and pepper and mix thoroughly. Fill the empty egg white shells with the mixture and sprinkle lightly with paprika. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to one day before serving.

  10. Compare and contrast ◈Presents similarities and differences between concepts, events, people, facts, and so on VS.

  11. Example: Sports at Southern There are two popular sports played at Southern, basketball and volleyball. Both take place inside of the gym at Southern. Also, each sport has two teams of people. In basketball, however, the ball can be played off of the floor, and in volleyball, the ball cannot touch the floor or it is out of play. Basketball and volleyball are popular sports at Southern.

  12. Cause and effect ◈Presents an effect along with a reason or explanation for that effect ◈Shows change in events, facts, concepts, people, and so on, as a result of something else

  13. Example: Fewer Toads Though toads are still around, they no longer are as common in some areas as they were a few decades ago. The growing use of insecticides has reduced their numbers. The chemical sprays usually do not harm toads, but cut down the animals’ food supply. Thereby, the toads do not have enough food to survive. There are fewer toads in many areas populated by humans.

  14. Problem and solution ◈Presents a statement of a problem, question, or remark, followed by a solution, answer, or reply ◈Sometimes contains elements of the other organizational structures, such as cause/effect or sequence

  15. Example: Restoring the Toad Dr. Knapp doesn’t want people to sit back and let the toad vanish. He believes that everyone is responsible for restoring the toad species. Dr. Knapp thinks we could help restore the toad population if we stop mowing parts of our lawns and let the grass grow wild to reserve space for the toad. He also believes we need to stop using pesticides and fertilizers. The chemicals kill the insects that toads eat. If we preserve some spaces in our lawns and stop using fertilizers, Dr. Knapp believes we can save the toads.

  16. Break Ticket: Poll Question: How are you feeling about text structure? • I’ve got it! 😁 • I’m still not sure. • I am lost! 😟

  17. Brain Break Time! Now is the time to: • Use the restroom • Stretch • Give your eyes a rest • Get some water or a snack *Please return to the meet on time!

  18. Welcome Back! I can:identify reasons and evidence that support the author’s claim (RI.6.1, RI.6.8)2 Why do we need evidence to support the author’s claim?

  19. Evidence Matters!
