With your direct instruction do you by any chance have a worksheet.

I teach third grade. Since my students have already been exposed to
text structure, I went through my classroom books, making sure that
I had examples of each type of structure. After direct instruction
on the different models, the children were handed books and worked
in very small groups to determine what structure the book followed.
They then had to report back to the class and prove their choice
with evidence from the text. I threw in a book that was a
combination of fiction and non-fiction. The kids loved the practice
so we have repeated it a few times with different books. Through
this activity, they seemed to develop a strong sense of the
different structures of non-fiction text and they were having fun.
