Hey Dave I used Text Mapping with my sixth graders in Social Studies we studied Ancient Cultures. I used this for the opening chapters for each of the four cultures as they were good overviews to set-up for the kids what each culture would be like. It also reinforced all the features of non-fiction text that they were exposed to as we explored internet sites, magazine articles, and books. Hope this helps. Susan C
