Original Prompt

Create a 4 corners activity using TEK 4.9Diii and the HMH into reading story Mariana Trench. Each corner should have a paragraph about the Mariana Trench that uses a different text structure. Create a key for students to use as they go around the room as well as an anchor chart for text structure with the different types.

This resource provides an overview of various text structures, specifically designed to enhance comprehension and writing skills. It covers four main structures: Cause & Effect, Problem & Solution, Compare & Contrast, and Sequence. Each section includes definitions, examples, and signal words that indicate the structure being used. The document uses the Mariana Trench as a focal point to illustrate these text structures in practical contexts. It encourages learners to identify causes and effects, recognize problems and potential solutions, compare and contrast different environments, and sequence actions in a logical order. Additionally, the resource includes tasks prompting learners to apply these structures and to synthesize the information through their own writing.
