TEKS ELA Standard: 2.11.B.i

organizing with structure

Introducing Order and Chaos

Introduce Order by exploring “written” vs “unwritten” rules.

Gr 1-8

Categorize and Re-Categorize Animals

Put these animals into groups. Then do it again. Then… do it one more time. How does re-re-grouping the same creatures reveal new patterns and give new insights?

Gr 1-8

Famous Structures

The Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House — group them, pick the best from each group, then design your own.

Gr 1-8

Order Can Be Natural or Constructed

When is order natural and when is it designed by people?

Gr 1-8

Teach Non-Fiction Writing Structure With Fractals

Gr 1-8
