Let’s Practice Read the following passage. Determine the text structure and explain how it contributes to the overall development of ideas.

In the game of volleyball, players hit a ball over a long net that stretches across a court. There are twelve players on the court at one time—six players per team. The game of tennis is similar to volleyball in that a ball is hit over a long net on a court, but this is all the two sports have in common. In tennis, the ball is hit with a racquet, and only two or four players are on the court at one time.

In your small groups, discuss the following prompts In your small groups, discuss the following prompts. You may use your guided notes as a resource. 1. Determine the text structure of the passage. 2. Explain what clues led you to determine that text structure.

Now it’s your turn! Your teacher will distribute an Informational Text Structures practice sheet to you. Read each of the passages, highlight signal words/phrases, and determine the text structure for each one. Be prepared to discuss as a class.
