This pack of text samples is designed to help children learn the essence of each text type. Please note that these texts have been specially written so that they do conform to the same rules. They should be seen simply as a basis. Once children have assimilated these and are regularly using them in their writing, they should be encouraged to look at variations and more sophisticated models. It is assumed that the order of teaching is as follows:

* Teacher reads texts and encourages the class to suggest what the framework is (shared reading)
* Teacher shows more texts and encourages children to see if their framework still applies (shared reading)
* Teacher uses framework to model their own writing (modelled writing)
* Teacher and children write a text between them using the framework (shared writing)
* Groups of children write texts with teacher support (guided writing)
* Children write texts independently (independent work/extended writing)

LHS | Seeds of Science | Text Features

Text structure refers to the ways that authors organize information in text. For example, some texts are organized as a chronological sequence of events, while others compare two or more things. Teaching students to recognize the underlying structure of content-area texts can help students focus attention on key concepts and relationships, anticipate what’s to come, and monitor their comprehension as they read.

One of my favorite genres in childrens' literature is memoir. I only recently learned of the power and beauty of memoir. Five years ago, I had the privilege of spending two weeks in New York City at Columbia University. It was there at Lucy Calkin’s Teacher’s College Writing Project for teachers that I learned of the power of this genre.
