Text structure

Introduction

Body

Conclusion

Where would you find the subject (onderwerp) of the text?

What happens in the conclusion?

Inleiding, middenstuk, slot (Introduction, body, conclusion)

De meeste teksten bestaan uit een inleiding, middenstuk en slot. Dat geeft de tekst structuur.

De inleiding is het eerste deel van de tekst. Hierin wordt duidelijk wat het onderwerp van de tekst is. De inleiding is meestal een aandachtstrekker, een verhaaltje of voorbeeld dat de lezer nieuwsgierig maakt naar de rest van de tekst.

Het middenstuk is opgebouwd uit alinea’s. In elke alinea wordt één deelonderwerp behandeld.

Het slot is het laatste deel van de tekst. Hierin wordt de belangrijkste informatie uit de tekst kort herhaald.
