Text Structure Prompt Cards

About this printable

Each numbered card names a text structure (e.g. Description, Sequence, Cause & Effect, Compare & Contrast, Problem & Solution, Chronological, Persuade, Explain, Exemplification, Analyse, Definition, Summary), shows a simple icon, and lists short bullet questions to prompt thinking or planning. Use them as quick reference cards for analysing reading passages or as planning prompts for writing tasks. The cards are designed to be cut out and used individually in pairs, small groups or pasted into writing books.
