First the turtle crawls out of the sea to the beach in search of the right place to build a nest for its eggs. Next, the turtle lays around 120 eggs the size of ping pong balls. The turtle then covers the nest by throwing sand over the nest with its flippers. The turtle does this to protect the eggs from predators. Finally, the turtle makes its way back to the sea, and does not return to attend to the nest.
Students can classify objects, persons, or places by size, color, etc.
Classifying events in students' lives by likes and dislikes may help with the understanding of this type of text structure. For example, they can classify their favorite and their least favorite games, TV shows, or hobbies. However, the greatest threats to the sea turtles' survival are the treats caused by humans. Conservationists are attempting to increase the survival rate by identifying the threats to the sea turtle by classifying things that humans can do to help the survival rate of the turtle and those things that hinder the survival rate. Humans can help the sea turtles survival rate by following the guidelines laid out by the Endangered Species Act.
