This learning resource focuses on analyzing and applying different text structures to gain a deeper understanding of 'The Great Migration: An American Story' by Jacob Lawrence and other relevant Black history texts. Students will explore five common text structures: Description, Chronology, Compare/Contrast, Cause/Effect, and Problem/Solution. Each structure is defined and accompanied by signal words that aid in identification. The background knowledge section provides context for the Great Migration, detailing the reasons behind the movement of African Americans from the rural South to urban areas in the North and West from 1916 to 1970. Through various activities, including KWL charts, comparing life in different regions, and analyzing causes and effects, students will enhance their comprehension of the text and the historical significance of the Great Migration and the Harlem Renaissance.
