This lesson is designed to support student understanding of text structures contributing to the author's purpose. Students begin by identifying the spelling pattern for the "long o" sound.
The two instructional blocks in this lesson focus on the three common text structures and explaining how the text structure helps the reader understand the text. In the first instructional block, students identify the text structure that the author used and what clues helped the reader to decide.
The second instructional block focuses on explaining what the author's purpose is for choosing specific text structures.
Passages are intentionally built throughout the lesson to support deeper understanding and put student learning into context.
