Hi! I am Studyfin. Let us learn how weather changes with the seasons!
Weather changes from day to day. Seasons are big weather patterns that happen every year. The four seasons are spring, summer, fall, and winter.
Authors write books to teach us things. This is the author's purpose. An author might write a book to show how winter is very cold.
Authors use text structures to organize their words. A comparison structure compares two things. This structure helps the author show how seasons are different.
✏️ Worked example
Read this short text: 'Summer has long, hot days with bright sunshine. Winter has short, cold days with snow.' Explain the author's purpose and the text structure.
- Find the main message. The text tells us about summer and winter weather.
- Explain the author's purpose. The author wants to teach us how these two seasons are different.
- Look at how the text is built. It talks about summer first, then winter.
- Identify the text structure. The author compares the hot summer to the cold winter.
- Explain how the structure helps. Comparing them makes the differences very clear to the reader.
