2. Objective Today, we will analyse the structure of a text.
What do you already know about ‘structure’?
Can you guess what it might mean from the images opposite?

3. Success criteria I understand what structure means.
I can annotate the structural features on a text.
I can comment on the effects of the structure on a reader.
I have no idea what ‘structure of a text’ means.

4. Structure of a text
The structure of a text is about how the information is organised. You will need to decide why certain information comes first or why ideas have been ordered in a certain way. Glue in your structural techniques sheet.

5. Structural techniques
Cause and Effect - Cause is why something happened. Effect is what happened. (Sometimes the effect is listed first.)
Sequence - Describes items or events in order or tells the steps to follow to do something or make something.
Problem/Solution -Tells about a problem (and sometimes says why there is a problem) then gives one or more possible solutions.
Compare and Contrast - Shows how two or more things are alike and/or how they are different.

6. Group work
Roles Group Leader: Your job is to ensure everyone is working effectively. You will also be the group’s spokesperson when feeding back. Scribe: Your job is to write down everybody’s ideas. Reader 1: your job is to read sections of the text to the group Reader 2: your job is to read the questions to the group.
Rules of the group work:
Everyone must do their role correctly
Everyone must contribute at least one idea
Group talk must remain on task
If I can see you doing all of these correctly, you will be awarded points during the lesson.
By the end of the lesson, those groups who have no negative points (for doing the wrong thing) and have accumulated at least 10 points for doing the right thing will be awarded 2 Passmores Points.

8. Questions You have 20 minutes to read the text, discuss these questions with your group and to annotate your copy of the leaflet.
What’s on the front cover? Why have the writer and designer decided that this should be the first thing a reader sees? How does it interest us as a reader?
Look at the title on page 2. Why does this follow Billy’s picture on the front page? What impact does this have on a reader?
Look at Billy’s story and Tom’s story. How has the writer used problem/solution in these stories? What effect does that structural technique have on a reader?
Look at the two pictures of Billy on page 2. How has the designer used compare and contrast? What effect does that have on a reader?
