Noticing Patterns
What text patterns (Text Structures) did you learn about in English class?
A3 and A4 reached here:
How is reading like solving a puzzle?
Class responses:
- You have to put the pieces together.
- Working together with others on understanding can help, if everyone is focused on getting the job done.
- Background knowledge helps.
- Treating the task as solving a mystery can make it more interesting.
- Asking questions can help.
- Recognizing the relationships among the pieces can help.
One type of pattern is sequence!

How do I identify a text structure/pattern?
What sorts of transitions am I seeing?
What are the relationships among the ideas?
Central Ideas Review
What is a central idea?
1. the most important or central thought of a paragraph or larger section of text, which tells the reader what the text is about
It must be a complete sentence that includes the topic and a statement about it.
We look for the central idea in nonfiction, and for the theme in fiction.
synonyms
key point
main idea
the point
what it's all about

How do I identify it?
- The overall gist
- What is most of it about, and what is the author saying about that?
- Repeated words
- Repeated synonyms and pronouns
- Is there one sentence that just seems to wrap up everything else?
- If not, are there parts of more than one sentence that I could put into one sentence, and it would wrap up everything else?
Where could I find it in the passage?
