Understanding How A Text’s Structure Contributes To Its Meaning.

LAFS.RI.2.5

9/22 AND 9/23/2015

What you should be able to do to show mastery of this standard:

• Analyze the structure an author uses to organize a text, including how the major sections contribute to the whole and to the development of the ideas.

Ways you will be asked to demonstrate mastery of this standard:

• Determine the structure or structural elements of the text.

• Analyze how structure contributes to the text’s meaning when an inference about the text’s meaning or structure is provided.

• Analyze how structure contributes to the text’s meaning. An inference about the text’s meaning or structure is provided.

Sample Question StemsPart A:

How does the author structure the text?

Part B:

How does the author use this structure to develop ideas?

Part A:

How does the first author organize information in the text?

Part B:

What does the final paragraph contribute to the text?

Part A:

Select the way in which the author uses structure to develop ideas.

Part B:

Select a sentence from the article that signals or exemplifies the text’s structure.

What this means for you:

• You have to be able to quickly recognize how a text is structured.

• You have to set a purpose for reading once you recognize the structure.

• You must be able to cite evidence that identifies this structure.

• You must be able to show how this structure contributes to the overall meaning of the text.

• You must recognize structure in parts of a text then evaluate how it contributes to the entire text.

Brainstorm:

• List 5 different types of text structures.

• What are three signal words for each?

Types of Text Structures

• Cause and effect, proposition and support, compare and contrast, chronological order, problem and solution

• Review what you would expect to learn from an article with each structure.

Moving On…

• Now that we understand what we need to know, let’s put it into practice.

“We Do”

• Create a 3 column chart labeled individual, ideas, and events.

• Turn to page 802 in your literature book. We will now read about the 4 Malcolms.

• As you read, try to identify the structure of the text so that you can extract the theme or central idea of the text.

Types of Text Structure:

• Cause and effect• proposition and

support• compare and contrast• chronological order• problem and solution

Modeling

• I will model this process as we read about the 1st Malcolm together.

• Write 1st Malcolm in the individuals column.

• Let’s read.

• Now let’s chart the ideas of the 1st Malcolm.

1st Malcolm’s Ideas

• Ideas:

1st Malcolm’s Events

• Events

Now let’s view the 2nd Malcolm

• Add his name to the individual column.

• Let’s think about his ideas and chart them.

• What events took place during this time?

You Do

• Complete this process for the 3rd and 4th Malcolm

• Next, respond to the following:

• Be prepared to share out.

1. What is the structure of “Malcolm X” and how is it used to develop ideas over the course of the text?

2. What sentences from the text signal or exemplify the text’s structure?

Read Chapter 7 in your literature groups.

• Choose a different role for this reading.

• Remember, as you read, think about the essential question and start to think about how individuals, their ideas, and events interact to drive the plot of the story.
