The sentence structure is basic and not extremely complex.  The use of the text features such as graphics and charts made it more accessible for ELL's.  We found it did contain content vocabulary such as diagonal, vertical and horizontal that might hinder understanding if a child does not have experience with those words.  However, the story does contain many cognates and not as complicated for Spanish ELL's to understand.  For example, "horizontal" vs. "horizontal". https://padlet.com/mpaton/TextAnalysis/wish/134518506  ]]> 2016-11-01 15:32:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mpaton/TextAnalysis/wish/134518506 The Power of Symmetry (group 5) https://padlet.com/mpaton/TextAnalysis/wish/134518746 What sociocultural factors are in this text?
