Text Structure (Informational)

With help, the student demonstrates partial success at 2.0 and 3.0.

I can describe characteristics of various text structures (such as description, sequence, causation, problem/solution, comparison).

I can list words or phrases that indicate a description relationship (such as for example, for instance).

I can list words or phrases that indicate a sequence relationship (such as first, last, next).

I can list words or phrases that indicate a causation relationship (such as because, cause, due to).

I can list words or phrases that indicate a problem/solution relationship (such as resolve, problem, or dilemma).

I can list words or phrases that indicate a comparison relationship (such as unlike, similarly, in contrast).

I can explain the relationships between two or more people, events, ideas, steps, or concepts in informational texts.

I can compare and contrast the overall structure (chronology, comparison, cause/effect, problem/solution) of events, ideas, concepts, or information and text features in two or more texts.
