Hi,
My name is Selena Bragg, and I purchased this activity last night... I am unable to open it with my processer, and was wondering if you would mind sending it in a PDF to selenabragg@gmail.com. It looks great, by the way! ;)
Thanks so much!!

Emily,
Do you think the text structure units you developed has articles and activities challenging enough for sixth grades. I just want to know if there is one article on a sixth grade level or more for the units.

Emily Kissner (TpT Seller)
Hello! Several of the articles were written especially for sixth graders. Here are the ones that are best for sixth grade. In chronological order, "Whoopie Wars" and "From Steel to Skyscrapers"; in cause and effect, "Mysterious Milk Sickness", in compare/contrast, "Etiquette at the Chinese Table", and in problem/solution, "The Biotic Index". Each of these has been used either by me when I taught sixth grade, or by sixth grade teachers that I know. Hope this helps!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
When I can't find what I want for my classroom, I create it myself. I always have a camera in hand, ready to record my experiences to create engaging articles to share with my students. You'll see my favorite places in my PowerPoints and teaching packs! Besides writing for TpT, I have also written two books on the topic of teaching reading: Summarizing, Paraphrasing, and Retelling and The Forest AND the Trees: Helping Readers Identify Details in Texts and Tests.
