  1. Silent Work Time • FILL OUT YOUR LOGS • Raise your hand and ask for my help if you don’t know how to fill out a log.

  2. Text Structure Day Two (2) How To Put An Idea Into Words

  3. What is an idea? • An idea is an image, sound, smell, taste, or feeling you experience in your mind/head. • For example, when someone says the word dog, you see an image of a dog in your mind/head. Or when someone says “the apple tasted sour,” you remember the last time you ate an apple that was sour. • It happens in your head, so it’s an idea.

  4. What is an idea? • Writing and speaking are the opposites of reading and listening • When you write words, ideas are captured • And when you speak words, ideas are captured

  5. What is an idea? • But when you read words, ideas are released • And when you hear words, ideas are released

  6. Why We Write • We write to capture an idea (the main idea) • And to do that (to capture the main idea), we have to capture some supporting ideas too. • Example Mr. Mac’s Backyard (it’s an idea right now inside my head: I can see it) Let’s say I want to capture it so you can see it too.

  7. My backyard is a big grassy square, closed off by an old wooden fence. In the center, there is a dirty old above ground pool. And off to the right, there is a huge patch of dandelions. In addition, there is an old metal slide and sandbox over on the left.

  8. My backyard is a big grassy square, closed off by an old wooden fence. In the center, there is a dirty old above ground pool. And off to the right, there is a huge patch of dandelions. In addition, there is an old metal slide and sandbox over on the left. Main idea = Mr. Mac’s Backyard Supporting ideas = Red, Green, Blue, Purple

  9. Practice! • Move an idea from your mind, to the note section of your Cornell Notes. Your idea must include at least three supporting ideas!

  10. So What Does Any Of This Have To Do With Text Structure? • We use text structure to show how our supporting ideas connect to the main idea • We also use text structure to show how our supporting ideas connect to each other

  11. My backyard is a big grassy square, closed off by an old wooden fence. In the center, there is a dirty old above ground pool. And off to the right, there is a huge patch of dandelions. In addition, there is an old metal slide and sandbox over on the left.

  12. More Practice! • Move another idea from your mind, to the note section of your Cornell Notes. Your idea must include at least three supporting ideas and this time you need to use a text structure to show how these ideas connect to the main idea (or to each other) ! • The Four Basic Text Structures • Chronological • Sequence/Order Of Importance • Compare/Contrast • Cause & Effect (Problem & Solution)

  13. The Basics • A paragraph is a tool writers use to break up what she/he has written into visually appealing chunks. • Writers use paragraphs to make their essays and books easier to read • Without paragraphs, readers lose their place more often
