[Audio] Welcome, everyone. Today, our discussion will cover organizational text structures and how authors use them to present information clearly and in an organized manner. By understanding these structures, readers can better comprehend the presented information. In this presentation, we will also examine important vocabulary and clue words that can assist in identifying different text structures. Let's begin and discover more about how authors organize their writing. Thank you for joining me..

[Audio] Today, we will be discussing organizational text structure and how authors use it to organize information in their texts. By the end of this lesson, you will have a better understanding of what organizational text structure means, be able to identify different types of text structures used by authors, recognize clue words that help reveal these structures, and use graphic organizers to enhance your reading comprehension. Organizational text structure refers to how authors structure and organize information in their writing. It is important to understand these structures in order to better comprehend what we read. Now, let's take a look at the different types of text structures that authors use, including chronological, compare and contrast, cause and effect, problem and solution, description, and sequence. To help you identify and understand these structures, it is important to look for clue words within the text. These are words or phrases that can give us a hint about the type of structure being used. For example, words like "first," "next," and "finally" indicate a chronological structure, while words like "similar," "different," and "in contrast" suggest a compare and contrast structure. We will now discuss the importance of using graphic organizers to make sense of what we read. These visual tools can help us break down and organize the information we are reading, making it easier to understand and remember. They can also help us see the connections between ideas and how they are related. As we move on to our activity, remember to pay attention to the organizational text structure used by the author and use your graphic organizer to help you better understand the text. Understanding organizational text structure is an essential skill that will not only improve your reading comprehension. Let's continue to work towards achieving our learning goals and become text structure experts. [Image] ACTIVITY: Read a short passage and identify the text structure used and create a graphic organizer.

[Audio] In this presentation, we will discuss the ways in which authors organize information in their texts. The third slide out of eleven will examine the different ways authors structure their writing. The slide contains three images: text structure, sequence, and compare. These images represent important vocabulary for understanding how information is arranged in a text, the order in which things happen, and how things are similar or different. By understanding these concepts, we can better comprehend the texts we read. Let's keep these in mind as we explore how authors organize information in their writing. We will now move on to the next slide..

[Audio] Today, we will be discussing organizational text structure and how authors use it in their writing. This is slide four out of eleven in our presentation. Organizational text structure is the way authors organize their writing to help readers understand the ideas presented. Just like a builder uses blueprints to construct a building, authors use organizational text structures to build their stories or information texts. Now, let's take a closer look at the different types of organizational text structures. These can include cause and effect, problem and solution, sequential/chronological, compare and contrast, and descriptive. Each type serves a specific purpose and helps readers better understand the information being presented. It's important for authors to use these structures to make their text more organized and easier to comprehend. This also helps readers to follow the flow of the information and identify the main ideas. As readers, it's important for us to recognize these structures in the texts we read, as it will help us to become more critical and analytical readers. So, let's always keep in mind the different organizational text structures and how they help us make sense of the texts we read. Thank you for listening, and I look forward to discussing more about this topic in our next slide..

[Audio] Today, we will be discussing organizational text structure and how authors organize information in texts. This is slide number 5 out of 11. On this slide, we can see the text "Why Is Text Structure Important?". Text structure is important because it helps us understand information presented to us. It also allows us to find answers quickly and shows us how ideas connect. A significant benefit of text structure is that it makes reading easier by providing a predictable flow of information. Ultimately, understanding organizational text structure is crucial for comprehending and retaining information. It allows us to easily follow and find important information, and even predict the flow of the text. Let's move on to the next slide..

[Audio] Today's lesson will focus on organizational text structure and how authors use it to organize information. This is slide 6 out of 11 and there are three images representing the most common text structures used in writing. The first structure is sequence, which displays steps or events in a specific order. This helps readers understand the chronological order of events. The second structure is cause and effect, which explains the cause of a situation and its effect. The last structure is compare and contrast, showing both similarities and differences. These structures are important for authors to use in their writing to make information more organized and easier to understand. Moving on to the next slide, we will see examples of these structures in different types of texts..

[Audio] Today, we will discuss organizational text structure and how authors use clue words to guide readers in understanding the sequence of events in a story or informational text. This is slide number 7 out of 11 and focuses on the clue words for sequence. Authors use words such as "first, next, then, finally, after" to indicate the order of events. As readers, we can use these words to follow the story step by step and better understand and remember the events. The image on the screen is an example of text with clue words showing the sequence of events. By using these words, the author helps readers follow the flow of the story and make it easier to understand. So, remember to pay attention to these clue words while reading and see how they help you understand the sequence of events. Let's now move on to our next slide to explore another aspect of organizational text structure..

[Audio] We will discuss organizational text structure and how authors use it to present information in texts. This slide is number 8 out of 11. Organizational text structure is important for readers to understand in order to fully comprehend and analyze a written work. One type of organizational text structure is cause and effect, which can be identified by certain clue words such as "because," "so," "since," and "as a result." These words help us understand the reasons behind events and their outcomes. As we continue reading and analyzing texts, it is important to pay attention to these clue words and how they indicate the relationship between different ideas and events. That concludes our discussion on organizational text structure and cause and effect clue words. We thank you for your attention and look forward to the next slide..

[Audio] We have been discussing different ways that authors organize information in their texts and have now reached slide number nine. The slide is titled "Organizational Text Structure: How Authors Organize Information in Texts" and displays two images of a spaom Rey ISeaxuoo, serving as an example of a comparison and contrast. Upon closer inspection, it is evident that the two images have both similarities and differences. Following this, a list of helpful words is presented to aid in identifying comparisons and contrasts in a text. Words such as "similar", "both", and "alike" indicate a comparison, while words like "however", "but", and "different" signify a contrast. As authors, it is crucial to use these words to clearly convey a comparison or contrast and aid the reader in understanding the information and the author's train of thought. When reading a text, it is important to pay attention to these words and determine if the author is making a comparison or contrast, as it can provide further understanding of the information and the author's purpose in organizing it. We have now covered all the ways in which authors organize information in their texts and will move on to the final way in the next slide..

[Audio] This presentation on Organizational Text Structure has reached slide number 10 out of 11. On this slide, we will be discussing the use of graphic organizers. A graphic organizer is a visual representation of information, such as charts or diagrams, that helps to understand the organization of information. They are commonly used in writing and reading to analyze text structure. The main benefit of graphic organizers is the ability to sort details and compare ideas, especially in complex texts. They also help to show the steps in a process and understand how they are related. Overall, graphic organizers are a useful tool for understanding text organization and processes. Consider using one when reading to better understand the information presented. Now, we will move on to our final slide..

[Audio] Welcome, students! Today, we will discuss organizational text structure and its significance. This is the final slide of our presentation, so let's dive in. The slide's title is "Organizational Text Structure: How Authors Organize Information in Texts", and the text talks about the importance of text structure. Different text structures, such as cause and effect, compare and contrast, and chronological order, help authors present information clearly and logically. We can identify these structures by paying attention to clue words like "because" and using graphic organizers like Venn diagrams. These tools are especially useful when we need to compare or contrast ideas or events. Now, here's a question for you: which text structure do you notice most when you read? Pause for 2 seconds. Thank you for being a part of our presentation. We hope you now have a better understanding of organizational text structure and its impact on our reading. As responsible and critical readers, it's important to pay attention to how information is presented in a text. Keep practicing, and you'll become an expert in identifying text structures in no time. Thank you for your attention..
