Text Structures Rap (Iggy Azalea Parody)
Many of my students were struggling with learning and recognizing the differences between the six nonfiction text structures. So, I rewrote Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" to include information about cause and effect, question and answer, description, problem and solution, compare and contrast, and chronological order/sequence. Enjoy!
Also, I changed "I.G.G.Y." to M.U.L.E because our school mascot is the mule. You could change that part to any four letter word or team you'd like.

The 26th amendment said that 18-year-olds

Our USA troops in Vietnam would all

1974 - there was a big uproar
Nixon would resign the presidency for all
his tapes from Watergate.
In 1980 there was ash
in southern Washington.
