The modern classroom officially no longer exists. Many different changes have occurred within the traditional classroom over the past few years that have redefined how students learn. The text highlights the vast changes that have been made in everyday with literature text as well as the different ways they can be used within the classroom.
There are many different texts that teachers can use when instructing their students. With the extended amount of text, choices there are also challenges that may accompany each text. One of these challenges includes selecting appropriate text to meet the learning needs or standards of the student. “Research says that good informational texts have clear purposes and a well-defined audience.” I agree that informational texts do have clear purposes, but they may strike the attention of many different people or audiences. I favor informational texts because they provide readers with organized, factual information and are very easy for them to follow. For older students narrative and digital texts may be a bit more complicated, but are still very beneficial tools that can be used to help improve literature skills for students.
When teaching every teacher should have a variety of texts readily available for all students. When selecting a text it is important to keep in mind the concepts that you want students to learn. Remember to select the text that best fits the students learning needs.

“Research says that good informational texts have clear purposes and a well-defined audience.” Hi Tezie (is this the way you spell it?), this quote caught my eye too and I put it in my post as well. We'll look at the MDE website and Curriculum Standards and see if we think they fit this criteria. Also, wanted to let you know your writing flows well. You're a good writer. John
