We picked up the pace and worked with the last two text structures: Cause/Effect and Description.  The link for the Cause/Effect article is here; the link for the Description article is here. Make sure you have the 3 resource handouts in front of you (Text Features, Text Structures, Types of Evidence). 

In your notebook, on a new page titled Cause/Effect, do the following: First, read the article. Second, use the graphic organizer in the Text Structures handout to order the information. Then, write a short paragraph about the article, using the cue words on the handout. Finally, use the Types of Evidence handout and list the evidence, including examples. Remember, every type of evidence may not be present in an article. 

On the next page of your notebook, titled Description, do the following: First, use the Text Features handout and list the text features that you find.  Second, write down what you learned or any questions/observations you have from those text features.  Then, go through the same set of instructions that you did for the Cause/Effect article.
