Description

This bundle includes four popular text structure activities: a text structure digital escape, a text structure sort, text structure practice with passages, and a self-grading digital text structure quiz. These text structure activities are a fun way to review a difficult concept. Often activities stop at having students identify text structure, but these ELA resources are more rigorous-analyzing the text structure, noticing the signal words, and thinking about the text structure development of a reading passage. These activities will support your middle schoolers reading comprehension and mastery of text structure.

These nonfiction text structure activities can be used for online, virtual, or distance learning.

Text structure activities focuses on the following structures:

•compare and contrast

•cause and effect

•problem and solution

•description

•chronological order

In the Text Structure Digital Escape lesson students must:

  • •sort the definitions of each text structure
  • •read nonfiction passages to determine the text structure
  • •match graphic organizers to the text structure
  • •match text structure signal phrases

In the Text Structure Sort, students are asked to sort:

  • the text pattern definition
  • key words or signal words
  • graphic organizers
  • a title for a type of writing
  • a longer passage of each text structure

In the Text Structure Quiz, students demonstrate:

  • knowledge of text structure in 15 question assessment
  • could be used for text structure classwork
  • includes terms, signal words, and short passages

  • Read passages and determine text structure
  • Includes 5 reading passages

This text structure bundle is fantastic for making a challenging concept engaging and interactive! I love that it goes beyond just identifying text structures—students analyze, notice signal words, and think critically about how passages are developed. The variety of activities, including a digital escape, sorting, practice passages, and a self-grading quiz, keeps students engaged and reinforces mastery. Perfect for middle schoolers, and the digital format makes it ideal for online, virtual, or distance learning.
