Make analyzing the sequence of events in an informational text easy. Ask readers to craft a one-sentence summary of each paragraph in a document and create a text map. To demonstrate their understanding of the process, participants read and annotate an excerpt from President James K. Polk’s “Fourth Annual Message” and take a quiz (included) on the document. Additional practice exercises use excerpts from President George H.W. Bush’s 1991 “Address to the Nation on the Invasion of Iraq,” and the Bill of Rights.
