The possibilities are endless, which can be overwhelming. In Text Structures from Picture Books, elementary and middle grade teachers tap into a well-ordered universe of inspiring and illustrative stories to help students frame their thinking and focus their choices. Using the bite-size format of picture books as a starting point, the authors share 50 low-prep, quick-access lessons to help teachers teach students seven concrete ways to respond to text in any genre. Through these lessons, students will be able to:  \u003cbr\u003e1. Generate their own writing, using a text structure harvested from the work of professional authors.\u003cbr\u003e2. Retell a story, using the text structure from the story.\u003cbr\u003e3. Generate reading responses, using structures that support clarity.\u003cbr\u003e4. Analyze a story to construct thematic statements, capturing the author's message and larger themes.\u003cbr\u003e5. Write about a theme or big idea, demonstrating empathic and evidence-based interpretation.\u003cbr\u003e6. Answer open-ended questions by selecting a technique that reflects the text and their engagement.\u003cbr\u003e7. Experiment with authors' craft in their own writing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on master writing teacher Gretchen Bernabei's instructional model, the lessons offer a lively, high-impact mix of reading aloud, discussion, modeling, student writing, and peer share.
