The document provides instructions for creating a text structure booklet. Students are asked to define six different text structures - chronological, cause and effect, sequence/order of importance, spatial, problem and solution, and cause and effect - by providing a definition and original example for each one. If working with a partner, each definition must include a picture. The rubric evaluates the booklet on completion, accuracy, and effort.

1. Text Structure Booklet
Requirements: Each page of your booklet will include a definition of the term and an original example
(do not take examples from worksheets we have completed). If you decide to work with a partner, your
each definition must also include a picture.
Terms to Define:
Text Structure: chronological, cause and effect, sequence/order of importance, spatial, problem and
solution, and cause and effect (six total).
Example:
Chronological
Spatial
Definition: events occur at a
specific time and are organized in
order of time. Stories are told
chronologically.
Definition:
Example: I woke up this morning
with a rumble in my stomach. I
ate a bowl of cereal, brushed my
teeth, and got on the bus. When I
got to school, it was raining, and I
realized I left my umbrella at
home. I did not have a very good
day.
