I really liked the PowerPoint and notes, but I am disappointed that I was unable to add the PowerPoint to my Google Drive. Unfortunately, I will be unable to use the notes page and will have to add to the slides somehow in order for it to work for my class. I need all 8 text structures, and this resource only has 5. My mistake. My students need to cover all eight structures: description, sequence, compare & contrast, cause & effect, problem & solution, advantages/disadvantages, classification, and definition.
