Between working on our peace projects and listening to Holocaust survivor, Eva Schloss, we have been discussing and taking notes on nonfiction text structures.  

Research has shown that when students are aware of these text structures, they have fewer struggles with comprehension.  These text structures will also serve an important role as you take notes for different research projects and write your own various nonfiction texts.  

Click here to see the TEXT STRUCTURE NOTES we took in class. If you were absent (physically or mentally) and missed some notes, I strongly encourage you to get your writer's notebook updated.

Lastly, I have assigned a TEXT STRUCTURE ASSIGNMENT. This is scheduled to be due on Tuesday, September 26. I will give you time to work in class on Friday, Monday, and Tuesday.
