Go With the FLOW (Family Literacy Opportunity Workshops) Session VI

Session VI too was focused on non-fiction, with the five non-fiction text structures demonstrated. Each teacher, and Ms. Schwebel as well, wore a head piece with the name of a different text structure, including sequence, descriptive, cause and effect, compare and contrast and problem/solution. Families were introduced to the different graphic organizers that were useful to use with each text structure. Finally a matching game was played, with text structures and their definitions.
