To have students analyze the structure of texts, do the following:

 Have students determine the author’s purpose, audience, and occasion for a text; then ask them to identify how these factors influence the choices the author made about the text’s structure.

 Identify the organizational pattern or rhetorical mode of this text—compare–contrast, problem–solution, cause–effect, chronological, and so on—and then examine what additional choices the author makes and how these choices shape the meaning.

 Model for students how you determine the structure of a complex text and use that knowledge to better understand and analyze the text through close reading.
