 The cause is why something happens, and the effect is what happens. Texts with this structure may describe a cause and effect chain of events. It may tell about one cause with several effects, or several causes with one effect.  You can find chain of event, cycle, and other graphic organizers that use block and arrows for diagramming cause and effect.

 Problem/solution informational texts describe a problem and then describe one or more solutions to the problem. This may be about a current problem, a possible future problem, or a historical problems that is already solved.  You can use a simple two column graphic organizer with one labeled “problem” and the other labeled “solution(s)” to diagram the thinking behind this type of nonfiction text structure.
