This worksheet is designed to be used with a specific reading passage (a story or article) that isn't included in the image. Because I don't have the text you are supposed to read, I cannot give you the specific answers for questions 1, 2, and 3.
However, I can explain exactly how to find the answers yourself by looking at your text! Here is a guide on what to look for:
1. What is this text about?
*
How to find it: Look at the title of the story or article. Then, read the first paragraph. Usually, the main idea is right there.
*
What to write: Write one short sentence summarizing the main topic. For example: "This text is about how bees make honey."
2. What is the structure?
Look at your text and see which of these patterns fits best. The definitions at the top of your page will help you decide:
*
Chronological Order: Does the text tell a story with dates or times? (Look for words like *first, next, then, finally, in 1990*).
*
Compare and Contrast: Does it talk about two things being similar or different? (Look for words like *both, unlike, similarly, however*).
*
Cause and Effect: Does it explain why something happened? (Look for words like *because, since, as a result, therefore*).
*
Problem/Solution: Does it describe a problem and then how to fix it? (Look for words like *issue, solve, answer, fix*).
*
Order of Importance: Does it list facts starting with the most important one? (Look for phrases like *most importantly, primarily*).
*
Sequential Order: Is it a set of instructions or steps? (Look for *step 1, step 2, first, second*).
3. How do you know? Identify a key phrase...
*
How to find it: Once you picked the structure in Question 2, go back into the text and copy a sentence that proves it.
*
Example: If you said the structure is
Chronological, find a sentence with a date or time word.
* *Your Answer:* "The text says, 'First, the seeds are planted, and later they grow into flowers.'"
Final Answer:
Since the reading passage is missing, here is the method to complete the worksheet:
1.
Title/Topic: Summarize the main subject of the text in one sentence.
2.
Structure: Identify if the text uses Chronological Order, Compare/Contrast, Cause/Effect, Problem/Solution, Order of Importance, or Sequential Order based on the clues listed above.
3.
Evidence: Copy a direct quote from the text containing signal words (like "because," "first," "unlike") that matches the structure you identified.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of text structure worksheet 11.
