We had a through mini lesson on patterns of organizations, what they are, why & how authors use them, why they are important to us as readers, the different types of structures, their definition & characteristics, and the signal words that helps us as readers to identify them in a text. My classroom is usually organized in rows {due to lack of space} but I turned the desks into pods this week so students can work in groups.
There was no movement space but they loved it. Students created a journal foldable for Text Structure that included the definition & characteristics and signal words of each pattern of organization. Mentor Text Lessons...inspired by Picture Books. How did this page of quality lessons come about?
In 2005, WritingFix received a generous grant that helped begin the very popular lesson collection you will find on this page. The generous $25,000 AT&T Grant, acquired with the help of the Washoe Education Foundation, allowed us to design and host a very different kind of inservice class for 100 Northern Nevada teachers, and that inservice made possible this page.
