The text passage needs to be at a 3rd grade reading level and should be on a topic that 3rd graders would enjoy reading about. Put it in the gradual release model of "i do, we do, you do."

It provides clear definitions and examples of key features such as headings, illustrations, captions, bold words, and glossaries that authors use to enhance understanding. Through guided practice, students will participate in a text feature hunt in a provided dinosaur passage, reinforcing their ability to recognize and articulate the purpose of these features. The lesson includes collaborative activities, independent practices, and a challenge to create original text features, culminating with an exit ticket to reflect on their learning.
