Functional+Texts+4



Functional Texts... So what are they and how do I know if I am reading one? Well, let's check out this site that will breakdown for us the different types of texts and what their purposes are.

Day 1 Now that our prior knowledge has been stirred and we know a bit more about functional texts, let's explore it further. For today's lesson, we will be looking at a Power Point Presentation. As we read each slide, we will need to decide what kind of information each slide is giving us so that we can correctly add in a heading. We will then use this information to complete a class Frayer Model Organizer together. Any additional information that is missing from the Power Point will be added by us. After we have finished reviewing the Power Point and have completed the organizer, we will be able to explore some of the different types of functional texts.

Resource #1: Click download and then open. This is a Power Point Presentation. Use your knowledge of Power Point to help you navigate.
