+At every grade level you should teach students to annotate for text structure.
+In the image of the board above you see the five main types of text structure taught in academic settings:
+  * Chronological
+  * Compare and Contrast
+  * Sequential
+  * Expository
+  * Cause and Effect
+As you annotate you want to focus on signal words. These transition words signal to the reader both the type of text and the organization of the text. Writers use them to signal a new idea or detail. So in reading we often refer to the words as "signals" and in writing "transition" words"
+  * Chronological-First,Second, last, Next, Finally
+  * Compare and Contrast-Likewise, In Contrast, Similarly,
+  * Expository-in this case, as an example, to demonstrate, to illustrate
+  * Sequential-after, eventually, previously, next
+  * Cause and Effect-and so consequently,therefore, as a consequence

+Anchor standard five of the Common Core State Standards explains the expectations around text structure when someone graduates high school.

+<blockquote>
+CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.CCRA.R.5
+Analyze the structure of texts, including how specific sentences, paragraphs, and larger portions of the text (e.g., a section, chapter, scene, or stanza) relate to each other and the whole.

+For writing by the time someone graduates high school they should:

+<blockquote>
+CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.CCRA.W.4
+Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience.

+<blockquote>
+CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.4.5
+Explain major differences between poems, drama, and prose, and refer to the structural elements of poems (e.g., verse, rhythm, meter) and drama (e.g., casts of characters, settings, descriptions, dialogue, stage directions) when writing or speaking about a text.
+The Common Core then traces these back down through Kindergarten. For example the reading standard has an expectation that students identify parts of a book to develop [[concepts of print]].
