create an independent activity where 7th grade students practice text structure they have already reviewed this

This learning resource focuses on analyzing various text structures within different passages. The objective is to help students independently recognize and identify text structures such as chronological, cause & effect, compare & contrast, problem & solution, and description. Each structure is defined and accompanied by signal words that typically indicate its presence. Students learn how these structures contribute to the development of ideas and aid in understanding the overall topic. The resource includes several passages illustrating each structure, with guided questions prompting students to identify the text structure and explain their reasoning using specific examples. Additionally, the document covers more complex structures, encouraging a deeper analysis of how authors organize information to convey meaning. Students also engage in synthesizing information through visual text mapping and structural analysis.
