[MOSAIC] Short non fiction text for middle school

[Carol Carlson]

Hi, all,

As we look deeper into our curriculum, we realize that we are not  
explicitly teaching non fiction text structure, especially compare/ 
contrast, cause effect etc. Research states that if students can  
identify text structure, they are better able to comprehend the text.

I looked at the Write time for Kids and Exploring Non fiction from  
Teacher Created Materials. But they don't seem to meet the above needs.

Do any of you have an anthology type that would cover the above  
benchmarks? We are trying to not review all of our anthologies, but  
hoped that we could find it in one place.

Thanks,
Carol
