When I think about text structures, I have memories of middle school english class identifying 'cause and effect' vs. 'compare and contrast' stories and their recognizing features. Text structures can also be helpful in learning content concepts! In a science class, sometimes ideas can be difficult to wrap your brain around for the first time, think cellular respiration or rock formation. If the concept is presented as a story or timeline, students may be able to view the idea through a different lens, allowing for understanding! #GED7871
