Text structures (WDPI, 2012) refer to the way authors organize information in text. Recognizing the
underlying structure of texts can help students focus attention on key concepts and relationships,
anticipate what is to come, and monitor their comprehension as they read.
1. Narrative -Narrates an event/story with characters, setting, conflict, point of view, and plot
Transitions/ Signal Words: Descriptive language (adjectives, adverbs, similes, and metaphors)
2. Chronological, Process, or Sequence- Present ideas or events in the order in which they
happen.
Transition/Signal Words: First, second, third…, later, next, before, then, finally, after, when, since,
now, previously
3. Cause and Effect- Provide explanations or reasons for phenomena
Transition/Signal Words: If then, reasons why, as a result, therefore, because, consequently, since,
so that, for, due to
4. Compare and Contrast- Discuss two ideas, events, or phenomena, showing how they are
different and how they are similar.
Transition/Signal Words:However/yet, nevertheless, on the other hand,
but/whereas/similarly,although, likewise, in contrast/comparison,different, eithe/ or, in the same way,
just as
5. Definition or Description-Describes a topic by listing characteristics, features, attributes, and
examples.
Transition/Signal Words: for example, characteristics, for instance, such as, including, to illustrate

______1. There are two popular sports played at Milton, basketball, and volleyball. Both take place
inside of the gym at Milton. Also, each sport has two teams of people. In basketball, however, the ball
can be played off of the floor, and in volleyball, the ball cannot touch the floor, or it is out of play.
Basketball and volleyball are popular sports at Milton. What text structure is this?
_____2. Lots of students fail classes. Some students fail because the work is too hard for them. Other
times they may fail because they are lazy, and don’t do any work. Another reason why students may
fail is if they don’t go to school. If you’re not in class, you may miss a lot. Many students fail classes
every quarter. What text structure is this?
_____3. Dr. Knapp doesn’t want people to sit back and let the toad vanish. He believes that everyone
is responsible for restoring the toad species. Dr. Knapp thinks we could help restore the toad
population if we stop mowing parts of our lawns and let the grass grow wild to reserve space for the
toad. He also believes we need to stop using pesticides and fertilizers. The chemicals kill the insects
that toads eat. If we preserve some spaces in our lawns and stop using fertilizers, Dr. Knapp believes
we can save the toads. What text structure is this?
_____4. Devers experienced the highlight of any sprinter’s career, as she stood on the huge platform
in the giant stadium and received an Olympic gold medal. Eighteen months earlier she wasn’t thinking
about running. She was hoping that she would be able to walk again. Just four years earlier, in the
summer of 1988, as Devers was training for the Olympic Games, to be held in Seoul, South Korea,
she began to feel very tired all the time and failed to make the Olympic finals. What text structure is
this?
_____5 The Eiffel Tower is divided into three sections. I. The lowest section of the tower contains the

spectacular view of Paris.

Earthquakes happen all over the world in areas called seismic zones. Seismic zones occur where the
plates of crust covering the Earth’s surface meet each other. Inside the Earth, the mantle is always
moving, which in turn moves the plates. These plates push against each other, building up tension
between them. When the tension between plates becomes too great, they grind against each other,
causing the Earth’s surface to tremble and shake .

The first step of changing oil in a car is to gather supplies. After you have collected all of the tools and
supplies, prepare your vehicle. Start the car and let it run for one to two minutes to warm the oil and
the engine. Then, find a flat surface to jack the vehicle from the center under the engine. Next, locate
the oil filter and oil drain plug. Put on work gloves to protect your hands and position an oil drain pan
under the engine then remove the plug the rest of the way.

In the center of Luna’s Spoliarium painting are fallen gladiators being dragged by Roman soldiers. At
the left side, spectators ardently await their chance to strip off the combatants of their metal helmets
and other armory. In addition, emotions are featured on the left and the right side presents a sober

while a woman weeps the death of her loved one.

I have noticed that a lot of people are confused about mobile data and Wi-fi. Some people think that
they’re the same thing. Both mobile data and Wi-fi allow you to connect to the internet. However,
there are some important differences between them. Mobile data is provided by the mobile phone
company. Whereas, Wi-fi is comes through cable or phone lines. Mobile data gives you internet
access anywhere that your phone can get a signal. But, you can only get Wi-fi access when you are
near a router. Customers are usually given a nearly unlimited amount of Wi-fi data, like an all-you-
can-eat buffet. On the other hand, mobile data is often sold in limited portions, like an expensive
restaurant. It is important to know which you are using so that you aren’t charged additional fees for
going over your mobile data plan limits.

Some students have poor attendance. The school has tried many ways of addressing this such as
teachers have sent letters and/or have talked to parents immediately, school has scheduled parent/
teacher/ guidance counsellor/ school prefect of discipline conferences with students who are
habitually absent. Hopefully, this will help more students get to school every day.

What is an ice cream headache? It is when a painful sensation resonates in your head after eating
something cold (usually ice cream) on a hot day. This pain is produced by the dilation of a nerve in
the roof of your mouth. The nerve center is overreacting to the cold by trying to heat your brain. It is
an ice cream headache when you feel those sensations which have turned many smiles to frowns
