An informational text matching game for students to complete in table groups of 3-4 as STAAR testing practice.

This learning resource engages students in a collaborative analysis of informational texts, focusing on identifying the thesis, supporting evidence, and structural elements. The objective is to help students understand how the organizational design enhances the main argument of the texts. Students are assigned roles such as Text Analyzer, Structure Detective, Evidence Tracker, and Thesis Hunter to facilitate their analysis. The resource includes a range of informational passages on topics like the Urban Heat Island effect, coral bleaching, energy sources, and the invention of the printing press. Additionally, there are activities centered around matching structural elements to corresponding passages and reflection questions to deepen comprehension.
