Classification Text Structure

is an organizational structure in which writers

sort items into categories according to
commonalities.
1. cause-effect
2. compare-contrast
3. problem-solution
 Example: Cause -Effect

Many people think that they can get sick by

going into cold weather improperly dressed;
however, illnesses are not caused by temperature-
they are caused by germs. So while shivering
outside in the cold probably won’t strengthen
your immune system, you’re more likely to
contract an illness indoors because you will have a
greater exposure to germs.
 Example: Compare-Contrast

Apples and oranges are both fruits, which

means that they have seeds inside of them. Each
has a skin, but orange skins are thick and easy to
peel. Apple skins are thinner and do not peel easily.
Oranges also contain more acid than apples, but
both fruits are delicious.
 Example: Problem-Solution

My problem is my hairwon't work with me

today! It's so frizzy. I should just put some gel in
it and hope for the best.
Persuade Text Structure

a text that relly wants you to do something

a text used to convince the reader to agree
with the author about an issue. The author will
rely heavily on facts to express their opinion and
use them in an argumentative type of writing
style.
 Example

A Lexi Mattress is the most comfortable bed

you’ll ever sleep on. Take a 30-day trial and see
for yourself. If you’re not satisfied, we’ll come to
your home, remove the mattress, and refund you
in full. You’ve got nothing to lose. Give it a try
today.
 Explanation Text

A factual text type that tells how or why

something happens. it explains how items relate to
each other.
 Example

In the summer, the amount of daylight that we get is more

than we get in winter. This is not because as much people think we
are closer to the sun but because of the tilt of the earth.
The earth is actually closer to the sun in winter than it is in summer
but you would be forgiven for thinking that this can not be true
after looking out of your window on a cold and frosty morning.
It seems strange that as the earth get closer to the sun during its
orbit then the amount of daylight that we get decrease. But that is
the case. It is the tilt of the earth that determine the amount of
daylight that we get and so the length of time that for us the sun is
above the horizon.
 Enumeration Text

ia a text which presents ideas by listing or

enumerating the kinds, characteristics, classes, types,
parts, ways, groups, and other information of a
certain thing.
 Example

We say that if America has entered the war to

make the world safe for democracy, she must first
make democracy safe in America. How else is the world
to take America seriously, when democracy at home is
daily being outraged, free speech suppressed, peaceable
assemblies broken up by overbearing and brutal
gangsters in uniform; when free press is curtailed and
every independent opinion gagged.”
 Time Order Text

a type of text where the author uses the orders of

events or chronology, to inform readers about
events or contents. Words like first, second, after,
next, earlier, later, and finally can help you
understand the sequence of events.
 Example

First, we measured out the ingredients for the

cake. After that, we mixed them together to make a
batter. Then, we poured the batter into a cake tin.
Finally, we put the cake tin in the oven.'
