create a lesson and practice about text structures for 7th grade students.

This learning resource covers the identification and explanation of five common text structures found in informational texts: description, sequence, cause and effect, compare and contrast, and problem and solution. Each structure is defined with examples and signal words that help in recognizing them in texts. The resource contains activities for guided and independent practice, allowing students to apply their knowledge by analyzing passages, creating graphic organizers, and writing about their hobbies using different text structures. It emphasizes the importance of understanding how authors organize their ideas, improving reading comprehension and critical thinking skills.
