Descriptions
Research consistently shows that teaching text structure improves students’ reading comprehension and writing quality.
This week marks an important shift as we continue to deepen our understanding of the Writing Rope and explore the critical role of text structure in both reading comprehension and written expression. Read more about this strand here!
In addition, students are introduced to the formatting and structure of ELA standardized test questions, helping them develop strategies to navigate these complex assessments with confidence.
The Plan & Resources:
-
Introducing the importance of text structure using the Kinds of Writing Slide Deck. This week’s focus: Narrative Text Structure. Use the Student Handbook to increase understanding.
-
Use the 3rd, 4th, or 5th Grade Narrative Practice Guide that focuses on your grade’s standards and is formatted like the ELA standardized tests. Students will read an excerpt from a beloved novel, answer comprehension and vocabulary multiple choice questions. Then, after doing the same for a second excerpt, students are asked to answer higher-level questions comparing the two! These complex tasks take modeling and practice!
