How will I know which text structure is being used?​

​Informational Text Structures

​Looking at how an author organizes information in a text

• ​Problem and Solution - the author describes a problem and how it was solved

• ​Compare and Contrast - the author explains how something is similar to and different from something or someone else

• ​Sequence - also called time order or chronology - authors tell about events in the order that they happened (chronological order)​

• ​Cause and Effect - the author explains something that happened (effect) and the reasons why (cause)

• ​Description - an author tells about a topic and its characteristics
