Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Cite text evidence to answer literature and informational-text questions using the RACE rubric structure.

  • Distinguish fables, folktales, and myths by their defining features and examples.

  • Identify common text structures (sequence, compare/contrast, cause/effect, problem/solution) and their signal words.

Teaching tips

  • Print and laminate the small posters if you want to reuse the charts across school years.

  • Have students glue the black-and-white mini posters into interactive notebooks as a personal reference copy of each classroom chart.

  • Introduce the RACE rubric chart early in the year, since several of the other charts assume students already cite text evidence in their answers.

Skills covered

  • Citing text evidence — the RACE rubric chart walks students through restating, answering, citing, and ending an answer with textual support.

  • Genre comparison — the fables/folktales/myths chart has students compare and contrast the three genres' features and examples.

  • Text-structure recognition — the text-structures glossary pairs five structures with their signal words and a matching graphic organizer.
