The 'Content Architect Challenge' is an interactive resource designed for students to explore and identify text structures in writing to better understand how these structures aid in conveying an author's intent. It outlines a mission where students analyze different text structures such as Description, Sequential, Cause & Effect, Compare & Contrast, and Problem & Solution. The resource includes a detailed breakdown of signal words associated with each structure, exercises for application and practice, and collaborative challenges that enhance critical thinking. Students will engage in activities that promote identification of structures within various texts and develop strategies for rewriting content based on chosen layouts. This challenge encourages analytical skills through real-world examples like social media trends and digital communication.
