We have spent a considerable amount of time learning about and identifying text structures. This week, your assignment is to write a paragraph about a subject of your choosing and use one of the text structures as a way to organize your text. Please see the example for clarification.
1.) Pick a subject (this can be anything you want to write about--sports, music, art, school, family, homework, etc.) 2.) Choose one text structure and use that format to write. 3.) Your classmates need to guess the text structure. The following are several examples of ways you can write paragraphs using various text structures. You are only required to write one. Example: Subject: Teaching (The following are many examples of text structure, you only need to choose one). I've always known I wanted to be a teacher. By the time I was just six years old, I started teaching to a group of stuffed animals. First, I'd set them up and pretend each was a student. By the time my brother was born, he had no chance of escaping my educational instruction. When he was just a baby, I'd set him up near my mini chalkboard and talk to him like he was in my class! Now, I don't have to pretend anymore, and I get to come to school everyday and spend time with real students. Can you guess the text structure? (sequencing) Every afternoon, I enter Cherry Hills Village Elementary School. The strong scent of cafeteria food engulfs my senses the moment I walk through those double-sided black doors. I make my way through the long hallway, up the short set of stairs, and into the fourth-grade classroom where I'm greeted by smiles, hugs, and waves. Can you guess the text structure? (descriptive) Sarah always thought she knew what she wanted to study in college. For a year now, she was convinced she wanted to become a social worker. She always enjoyed helping others, and this profession would meet that desire. But recently, she started thinking about teaching. She had many friends who became teachers and seemed to love their job. Hmm. Which should she do? There are many similarities and differences between both social work and teaching. Can you guess the text structure? (compare and contrast) Mike worked hard on his research project, so hard in fact, he ended up making a huge difference in hundreds of lives. Who knew that when he started his research project on helping the homeless, it would turn school-wide and create a positive difference for families across Colorado. Can you guess the text structure? (cause and effect) She saw the looks on their faces and knew right away they didn't get it. Teaching long division was no easy feat, and she knew this class needed more instruction. So, she spent the next week working on practice problems, helping students during recess, and sending home extra practice worksheets. By the end of the month, her students had mastered this skill and were ready to move on to the next mathematical challenge! Can you guess the text structure? (problem/solution)

Have you ever been to a place that is literally paradise? Long Boat Key, Florida has many activities such as The beach, Ben and Jerrys, and Mote Marine. Bey lisles is the beach I tend to go to. The waves crash against the soft sand. My bogey board waits for the next wave to come. After that there is of course ben and Jerry's You can hear the delitful bell ringing as you walk into the cool air conditioning. You can hear people slurping up their melting, monstrance ice cream cone. The extroverted waiter greets you with delight. The mote marine sign hangs proudly. As you go by, the feeling of excitement fills your stomach. Once you walk in big manatees welcome you. The manatees look like giants compared to the tiny others that live next door. Long Boat Key is clearly paradise.

For my life I have always wanted to become a pilot. These are the steps of becoming a pilot. One of the first steps I completed was I had to go to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) ground school. The next step was to fly with EAA to get my pilots logbook and certificate. Then I got my membership and started flying a Cessna 206 with my uncle. We made a small airline company called Stillinger Air and now I strive in flying.

As I skated down the ice on the breakaway with the clock ticking down, 30, 29 ,28, I could hear skates scrapping behind me and I could feel the tense and silence from each bench. I crossed into the other teams zone. 25, 24 ,23, The goalie faced me in his ready position, with his glove held a little in front of him, and his other hand with his blocker at the same position. He looked at the puck like a predator waiting to make its move on the prey. It was just me and him. For just a second, the puck left my stick and all I could hear was silence. 15, 14, 13. The puck dings the post as the puck sails through the goalies legs. In it soars with the other team weak with disapointment. The grownups for our team started cheering, while the grownups for the other team sat eerily quiet. My bench was kicking its skates against the boards while the other team sat and their faces were shocked. Maybe we could get to the semifinal's. Maybe we could go on and win the state tournament.

"Batter up" they called aloud. Isaiah came bolting out onto the fake grassy turf. "last two minutes of the game." he said to himself. He gripped on tight to his bat. The picher was ready to strike. The ball through up in the air. It came closer, and closer, and closer. The ball hit directly in the middle of the bat. It was like an arrow shot right in the middle of the target. it sourd through the air. the crowd was roaring with apluad and screams. First base. Second base. Third base. coming to home plate. RUN,RUN,RUN. HOME RUN!!!

My running race-car skills helped me sprint down the vault run! "I better make this or I will not go to State Championships." I whispered. One second left until I jumped on the spring board. "BOING!!!" The spring board yelled! I twisted in the air finally slamming my hands down and twisting off. I felt hard marshmallow mats rise on my feet. I scrambled of to see what the judge gave me a... 9.5! My jaw dropped a smile spread across my face as my teammates yelled "Awesome job!" It was time to go see the award stand. My heart thumped as they announced the awards. "Arianna." The judge said. I finally get to go to the championships. I won. I thought

I skate past the blue line with my teammate he pases a dime strate to me and I have wide open shot. Then I pass it back. We split up and he fake shoots, the goalie glides toward him, he passes and I have a wide goal. The second the puck hits the back of the net my whole team lights up. That will advance the the lead 5-1.

Dreams dreams dreams. They calm you and are very horrifying. (Sometimes) one time I had a dream that my mom was pregnant with a delicious bean borito. When it was born, my mom ate it. Seriously. OMG!!!!!!!!! That was one of the weirdest dreams I ever had. One dream I had was that I climed up a tall, muscular pine tree. Then Voldemort pulled out his wand and started violently attacking me. He summoned his alligators and they dug their fingernails into the tree, scaling it. suddenly Harry Potter popped up out of nowhere, and emediatly killed Voldemort.

I think it is Proublem solotion because voldomore is trying to kill you but Harry Potter comes out of nowere and kills him. I think the first one is cause and afect because your mom get a child, she eats it.

I walk into the gym, the squeaky sound of shoes fills up the room. The bright orangish-brown floor glimmers in my eyes. I walk over to the bench and set my water bottle down. I jog over to start warmups. Both teams glare at each other. Response is a layup and keep on doing warmups. The buzzer buzzes and our starting five come out. The stadiums are packed full (Of about 20 people.) They cheer and cheer, smiles on their faces. The buzzer goes BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

The raspberry sky scintillated above the crashing waves as my toes played with the sand. Palm trees swayed in the light summer breeze. Kids shouted in the distance. I sipped my frosty pina colada.

Shimmering waves splash as the palm trees dance like a ballerina. The sun peaked its way above the horizon as if it was scared to show its smile. The sand was a field of corrals, like a bed of blankets. Fish swim as they’re free. The wind whistles a song with the birds so high up they were almost plains. Crabs snapped to the rhythm. Fresh salt filled the air.Flowers scattered across the sand like green grass on a hot summer day. White pelicans feast on fish like a fierce lion who hadn’t gotten his dinner. Run down, grumpy boats sigh. Waves calm and tired. Trees stop dancing. Fish swim down into the never ending forest of water. Birds lay in their nest and say goodbye to the wind as crabs dig their cozy warm hole deep into the sand.The scintillating sun gets ready for a new day to come.

I sprint out side into the freezing cold air. “ It fells like 0 degrees!” I yell out. I hear delicious hot chocolate calling my name. I sprint like a cheetah inside!I take my first sip “ouch.” I say, “ I burnt my tounge.” I put half a piece of fresh ice into my hot chocolate! I sit on the comfy grey couch grab the remote press the on button and immediately start watching a show! I think to my self I hope we a have a snow day tomorrow!

Fresh mountain air. Wind blowing through the trees. A gorgeous sunset. These are the things I saw on our first bike ride of the spring. It was only 2 miles, but it was the best bike ride I ever had. It was the Willow Creek trail, and it cut through highways, creeks, schoolyards, and many, many different roads. The sky was a milky grey, with little wisps of clouds floating over our heads. It’s to beautiful to even put into words. I will never forget it.

I have 3 dogs.I have 2 labs Bauer and Bleu, and 1 French bulldog Louie. Unlike my labs that are tall and heavy my Frenchie is short and has a little nose. Bauer and Bleu don’t bark much, but Louie barks a lot. Louie makes a lot of noises especially snorting yet Bauer and Bleu are pretty quiet. All of my dogs LOVE food! Bauer and Bleu wag their big tales and you know they are happy, but Louie doesn’t have a tail so it’s not as easy to know when he’s happy. Bauer and Bleu shed a lot because their hair is longer, but Louie sheds less because he has shorter hair.
