Original Prompt7th grade ELA text structure activities in preparation for state testing
This resource focuses on understanding informational text structures, enabling learners to identify the format of various texts based on signal words and patterns. The page covers five main structures—Chronological, Cause/Effect, Problem/Solution, Compare/Contrast, and Description—along with corresponding signal words that help recognize and underline these structures in writing. Examples demonstrate each structure in practice, including passages about cooking, the rainforest, and historical events, followed by comprehension questions. Additional activities encourage independent practice and self-assessment of comprehension skills related to text structures.
