TEXT STRUCTURE MENTOR TEXTS

     On Pinterest I found this great anchor chart on text structure:

      It reminded me of the lessons I did to teach text structure.  I found that using a mentor text, and adding it to a similar chart we made, helped students to better identify text structures independently.  As we worked on text structures, students would compare and contrast the books read aloud as an added piece of information to help guide their thinking.

      Here are some of my favorites.  I hope you, and your students, enjoy them!
