Text Structures PIXANOTES® +PowerPoint, texts, posters & more!

Are you getting your middle school students ready for your state's standardized reading test? Me too - and my students needed to review the five kinds of non-fiction text structures! So I made a quick review lesson with interactive guided notes I call Pixanotes to give my students a boost before the big day!

Pixanotes® are a blend of traditional two-column notes and interactive notebooks. They come in 4 levels of scaffolding but all with the same content so that a teacher could have out all 4 versions in the same class at the same time and everyone can get what they need!

Included in this resource:

★ Lesson Plan

★ Entrance/Exit tickets

★ An uneditable PowerPoint that students will use to fill in their Pixanotes®

★ Pixanotes® with 4 levels of scaffolding (but all with the same content):

1. Level 1: Fully printed content and pre-printed pictures

2. Level 2: Fully printed content and picture flaps

3. Level 3: Fill-in-the-blanks for content and pre-printed pictures

4. Level 4: Fill-in-the-blanks for content and picture flaps

★ Texts with questions and answers for a Practice Activity I call "Vote with your feet"

★ Text Structures posters

★ All answers

The Pixanotes™ advantage is in the inclusion of visuals! The pictures serve as memory cues to help students remember the critical information. Plus, they're interactive when you use the flaps!

Read more about this on my blog.

Any way you go, you’ll find that students will experience more success with Pixanotes™ because there are more cues for them to use to remember content!

I hope this helps your middle school students review the five kinds of nonfiction text structures!
