A new teacher was introducing text structures. Veteran teachers correctly advised her that a teacher's most significant goal should be to help students:
A) identify cue words that signal text structures
B) apply text structures to complete graphic organizers
C) use text structure to spark classroom discussions
D) apply what they are learning about text structures when they are reading and writing

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While identifying cue words and applying text structures to graphic organizers are important skills, the ultimate goal should be for students to be able to apply what they have learned about text structures to their own reading and writing. This will help them become more independent and effective readers and writers. Using text structures to spark class discussions is also valuable, but it should not be the primary focus.
