Students love to make, build, and design things. A study of procedural texts allows student to explore different types of procedural texts: recipes, experiments, and rules, and heighten their desire to experiment and create!
Students examine the big ideas of procedural texts. Attend to the text elements common among procedural tasks:
- Gather details necessary to understand the task.
- Analyze how the organization impacts the reader’s ability to understand and follow the text.
- Recognize that word choice (adverbial phrases, adjectives, and action verbs) enhances comprehension.
- Notice how the author conveys the common purpose among procedural texts.
Most importantly, students will develop skills and strategies to enhance reading and comprehension. Students will explore cause-and-effect, sequence, language cues and conventions, visualization, determining importance, and synthesis.
