Why is Text Structure Important?
The readers can significantly improve their
comprehension and retention of information when
they can identify and recognize the text structure of
a text. It can also help them:
1. Organize information and details they are
learning in their minds while reading.
2. Make connections between the details being
presented in a text
3. Summarize the important details shared in a text
• In your everyday life, why is it necessary
to know the cause and effect of our
actions?

• Why is it important to identify our problem


and think of possible solutions?
Rule of the Game
• Class will be divided into 5 groups.

• Each group will be tasked to make an


academic text using the assigned structure
to glean information in the text.

Evaluating Learning
1. Read each passage.
2. Determine how the text is organized:
cause and effect, compare and contrast,
chronological order, problem and
solution, or description.
3. Write your answer.
1. Football and baseball are two of the
most popular sports in the country. They
have many things in common. For one,
they are both team sports, and they both
require players to advance to an end or
“home” point on the playing field.
However, football requires players to carry
the ball to the end zone, whereas in
baseball, it is the defending team that
controls the ball while it is in play.
2. Believe it or not, as important as it is,
many students do not know how to study
for a test. Well, studying for a test is easy.
The first thing that you must do is take out
your notes. Open your notes up to the
section that you are supposed to review.
Read what you wrote in your notebook.
When you are done, close your notebook
and see if you remember the ideas that
you were studying. Still don’t remember?
Open your notebook back up a try again.
3. Many students have been getting low
scores on tests, and this is upsetting to
parents, teachers, and students. Low test
scores show that teachers aren’t teaching
effectively or that students aren’t learning.
Either way it’s an issue with which we are
concerned. I propose the following: any
teacher who is giving a test should open up
their classroom for study groups the night
and morning before the test. Maybe by
giving students extra opportunities to study,
we can improve students’ test scores.
4. The gym room at the high school down the
street from me is huge. Along the North and
South walls are bleachers that fold up during
gym. Coach pulls the bleachers out for big
games. At the end of the East and West walls
are basketball hoops. The ceilings are very
high and at the top of the gym are many large
windows. The windows go all the way around
the gym. There are also ropes that are either
tucked away or hang from the ceilings in the
middle of the gym. The ropes intimidate
some students. That gym is my favorite place.
5. Lots of students fail classes. Some
students fail because the work is too hard
for them. Other times they may fail because
they are lazy, and don’t do any work.
Another reason why students may fail is if
they don’t go to school. If you’re not in
class, you may miss a lot. Many students
fail classes every quarter.
