Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Text Features	5 minutes	Introduce the concept of text features with examples. Include definitions and discuss their importance in reading comprehension.
2	Identifying Text Features	10 minutes	Distribute sample texts. Guide students to find and label text features using sticky notes. Discuss findings as a class.
3	Group Activity	10 minutes	Divide students into small groups. Provide each group a text feature graphic organizer to complete based on their sample text.
4	Class Discussion	5 minutes	Reconvene as a whole class. Groups present the text features they identified and explain how they help in understanding the text.
5	Homework Assignment	5 minutes	Explain homework assignment: Students choose a book or text at home, identify and list at least three text features, and briefly describe their uses. Collect homework sheets as a check for understanding, but avoid individual presentations.

Assessment

• Informal assessment through observations during group activities and class discussions.
• Review of completed graphic organizers for understanding.
• Homework will be checked for completion and understanding without class presentations.

Reflection

• After the lesson, reflect on student engagement and understanding. Consider adjustments for future lessons based on student responses.
