This is one of our BEST hands-on activities!
This classroom-tested activity is designed to teach the summary elements of the following text structures:
LITERARY GENRES
Fiction, Poetry, or Drama - with problem/solution plot
Fiction, Literary Nonfiction, Poetry or Drama with occasion plot
INFORMATIONAL GENRES
Expository text
Biography Outline
Persuasive text
Procedural or Media Literacy text
These structures focus on the global meaning of text and therefore are used as key elements in producing well-written summary paragraphs. Do your students know the proper academic terms for important text structures? The academic terms included are extremely beneficial. The activity may be phased in as genres are introduced or used as a fun review activity. Help your students understand and use the appropriate academic terms when you are working with reading comprehension and guided reading. These terms should be used all day every day when students read.
Each sheet is also designed to print more than one set of cards! This makes printing a class set or cooperative group set of games easy to do!
Bonus:
This item also includes a list of children's literature book titles organized by the the listed structures!
