• ⬜Identify which organisational structure an informational text uses (chronological order, compare/contrast, cause/effect, or problem/solution) and cite textual features that signal it
• ⬜Explain how signal words (first, then, finally for chronology; however, similarly for comparison; because, as a result for cause/effect; the solution was for problem/solution) reveal text structure
• ⬜Compare two informational texts on the same topic that use different structures and explain how each structure affects the way information is presented to the reader
