Identifying the purpose of different parts of a text can help you recognize the structure and understand its overall purpose. Some common functions are listed below.

1. Introduce the topic. This is the first paragraph in which  a new idea is mentioned.
2. Report Data. Authors often group the most important figures and statistics together in one paragraph,
3. Explain facts. These paragraph give real, true information rather than opinion, argument, or speculation. Authors often stablish the facts of a situation before presenting opinion, argument, or speculation.
4. Give supporting information. These paragraphs present examples and other information to support arguments or to give context to the topic.
5. Present an argument. These paragraphs group together all the arguments on one side of an issue.
6. Present another side of an issue. A well-balanced text presents more than one side of an issue. Even if the author is biased they will often present opposing arguments to make the text appear neutral

Skim the text and write down a phrase that summarizes each main idea. Leave room between each idea. Draw a box around each one. Then as you read more closely, add supporting details to your map. Write them around each main idea and draw boxes around them. Then draw lines to connect details to the main idea.]]> 2018-01-17 01:24:48 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel9173/d18d885os3a3/wish/221928240 daniel9173 https://padlet.com/daniel9173/d18d885os3a3/wish/221928817 When you read a factual article, look for definitions of topic specific vocabulary you are not familiar with.
