Anchor Chart: Text Structure

Directions: During this interdisciplinary unit, we will be focusing on two main text structures to help us navigate prose:
"sequence" and "cause/effect." When we - as readers - know the text structure of what we are reading, we know what
parts in the text will be important. Present in both fiction and nonfiction, text structures make text easier to read,
understand, and remember. Therefore, being able to recognize and diagram them is a useful reading strategy. Use these
anchor charts as a reference material when reading a text you suspect follows one of these common text structure.
