    The document discusses four common text structures - description or list, sequence or time order, compare and contrast, and cause and effect/problem solving. For each structure, it provides examples of common signal words that indicate the structure to the reader, such as "like" and "unlike" for compare and contrast or "because" and "so" for cause and effect. It also notes what type of information the reader should expect to follow the signal words, such as a list of characteristics or a sequence of events.
