Are you introducing nonfiction text structures with your students? Are you looking for an easy way to introduce, practice, and assess student understanding of description text structure? If so, this product is for you!

This product begins with an introduction printable to review the basics of description text structure.

Then, the product continues with a two-sided practice worksheet in which students will read closely, identify structure-specific signal words, and graphically organize information within two brief texts. The first text focuses on the parts of a standard pencil, while the second describes the features of a human eyeball.

Finally, the product concludes with a description text structure paragraph-writing assessment to monitor student concept understanding. Students will select a topic with a clear descriptive connection, will graphically organize their ideas, and will then follow a checklist to write a complete description paragraph of their own.
