About the “Doodle” Notes:
Students will develop an understanding of the Problem-Solution Nonfiction Text Structure first by completing a set of doodle notes. Doodle notes are color-it-in, fill-it-in, and doodle-encouraging note sheets. They’re not only visually engaging, they’re also effective in helping students increase their focus and ability to recall information. Plus…they’re really fun! Students glue their doodle notes into their interactive notebooks. In this resource, there are 2 options of Doodle Notes:
- Option 1: All the notes are filled in. With this option students will color, embellish, and add doodles to the notes as you review the information with the class.
- Option 2: Some of the notes are filled in and students need to fill in the remainder of the notes (like guided notes). Students will work to fill in the notes as you teach the content.
About the “Do” Activities
After students complete their Doodle Notes it’s time for them to “Do” some fun interactive notebook activities. The activities are designed around lessons to help students deepen their understanding of the Problem-Solution Nonfiction Text Structure. There are six activities in all:
- Doodle a Solution: Students carry the doodle concept into the first activity where they doodle solutions to four common problems.
- Signal Words Sort: Students learn about the key words that authors use to signal problems and solutions. Then, they sort the words into two categories.
- Problem-Solution Text Structure Matching: Students review 8 problems and 8 solutions. Then, they match each problem with a solution.
- Problem-Solution Text Structure Reading 1: Students read a passage using the problem-solution text structure and then respond to questions using textual evidence.
- Problem-Solution Text Structure Reading 2: Students practice reading another passage using the problem-solution text structure. Then, they respond to reading comprehension questions.
- Problem-Solution Text Structure Writing: Students review the start of a passage that includes just a problem. Then, after analyzing the problem and brainstorming possible solutions, they write the remainder of the passage.
