Today, we continued our Gail Gibbons author study after attending an assembly with a wonderful story-teller! Today, students continued to notice Gail Gibbon's use of different text structures and text features in the book Deserts. We noticed a variety of text structures, including description, compare/contrast, main idea & details, and cause-and-effect. The variety of structures help the author share their information in the most appropriate way. We also noticed many of her commonly used text features once again, including diagrams, vocabulary words, cut-aways, and even in-sets. Ask your child what these features are and how they help us understand her book about deserts! Happy reading!
