Created by

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.

Help students practice the skill of inferring in a more engaging way using music.

After teaching what an inference is, use these questions (along with song lyrics) to have students make inferences about what is happening in the song. Video can be used too, but there is a scene in the video that teachers may or may not feel comfortable using.

The first verse (declarative) involves clapping hands together and pushing them out to form a period with your hands. This move is repeated four times, once per line. For the second verse (interrogative) we clapped once and then put our hands to the side in a questioning stance. Again, this is repeated four times
