Patterns in Everyday Texts

Students examine real-world examples-such as commercials, biographies, and science articles-to identify which text structure each uses. By linking practical examples to structural types, learners see how authors use cause/effect, description, sequence, and problem/solution to organize ideas in everyday contexts. A concluding prompt invites students to think of their own real-world examples, connecting classroom learning to authentic applications.
