If you need a fun, accessible way to teach nonfiction text structures to your upper elementary students, you've come to the right place!

Activity Name: 


1. Text Structure Swap (2 options)
2. Searching for Text Structure

Activity Description: 

1. The first two links will take you to incredible resources where students have to rewrite sentences from Can an Aardvark Bark? using different nonfiction text structures. I'll definitely be using these in my fourth grade classroom this month!
