Cause and effect are for older students since expository text with this kind of pattern is very confusing.

Expository structures are more complex; concept dense and the writer expect readers to identify 3/12/12 what structure it is.

Using the appropriate idea map depends upon the level of the student and the materials you are using. Younger reader and low level textdescription can use description ,sequence and compare and contrast. Older reader struggling with middle school and high school materials can use problem-solution and cause and effect.

The number of rectangles and arrows depend on the complexity of the text and important ideas, student should have the freedom to add and delete. Use maps for retelling summarizing guides. and

use idea maps for pre-writing 3/12/12 expository text.

Retelling and Note-taking

This is equated with note taking.

For lower levels-use single paragraph For higher level- few paragraphs.

Expository text represents challenge for all students.

Expository is more difficult than narrative and it is much less frequent in elementary schools. Moss (2006) recommends teaching expository text structure because it helps them to predict and confirm meaning in a passage.

Lessons using such non-linguistic representation are especially appropriate for students who have difficulty demonstrating their understanding through writing or traditional test-taking formats (Hill and Fynn, 2006; Hedrick, Harmon and Wood , 2003) Use of graphic organizer can make expository content more accessible because the process in preparing arrays of symbolic information helps them build a framework for learning key ideas and vocabulary (Hernandez 2003) Cappelini 3/12/12 (2005) comments that learners
