the way information in a passage is organized Six common patterns :  chronological  cause and effect  compare and contrast  problem and solution  sequence / process  spatial / descriptive

Information is organized in order of time Chrono = timeLogic = order Example Jack and Jill ran up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his crown. Jill came tumbling after. ALL stories are told chronologically

an action and its results are explained Students did not learn the material. They performed poorly on the test. CauseEffect don’t confuse with chronological. won’t have a beginning, middle, and end. time won’t progress much

1. Ask, “What is the author doing in this paragraph?” Put it in your own words. 2. Have a hunch? Use the graphic organizers to see if the info fits. 3. Look for signal words:  then, later, before, etc. - chronological  because, as a result, etc. – cause/effect  same as, alike, difference, unlike, ect. – comp/cont  therefore, in order to…, to remedy..., ect. – prob/sol  first, next, last, etc. – sequence  to the right, above, diagonally, etc. – spatial/desc

1. Read each passage. 2. Determine how the text is organized. 3. Write your answer.

Football and baseball are two of the most popular sports in the country. They have many commonalities. For one, they are both team sports, and they both require players to advance to an end or “home” point on the playing field. However, football requires players to carry the ball to the end zone, whereas in baseball, it is the defending team that controls the ball while it is in play.

One day while walking home from school, Joe found a magic blanket. When he covered himself with it, he turned invisible. At first he used his power to play tricks on people. He’d turn invisible and hide their possessions or move a cup when someone was pouring juice to make a mess. He had a lot of fun, but one day, he found that he couldn’t take the blanket off. He was stuck invisible. He quit playing tricks on people, hoping that he’d be able to take the blanket off and rejoin society, but it didn’t work. He is still invisible somewhere right now, and he is very lonely.

Believe it or not, as important as it is, many students do not know how to study for a test. Well, studying for a test is easy. The first thing that you must do is open your notes to the section that you are supposed to review. Read what you wrote in your notebook. When you are done, close your notebook and see if you remember the ideas that you were studying. Still don’t remember? Open your notebook back up and try again.

Many students have been getting low scores on tests, which is upsetting to parents, teachers, and themselves. Low test scores show that either teachers aren’t teaching effectively or students aren’t doing their part in the learning process. Either way, it is a concerning issue; therefore, I propose the following: any teacher who is giving a test should open their classroom for study groups the night and morning before the test. Maybe by giving students extra opportunities to study, they can improve their test scores.

After a long day at school, I came home and watched Cops, my favorite television show. During the commercial break, I got up and made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I took the bread out of the cabinet, spread the jelly and peanut butter on the bread, and stuck the two pieces together. I enjoyed my sandwich as I watched the rest of Cops.

The gym room at the high school down the street from me is huge. Along the North and South walls are bleachers that fold up during gym. Coach pulls the bleachers out for big games. At the end of the East and West walls are basketball hoops. The ceilings are very high, and at the top of the gym are many large windows that go all the way around the gym. There are also ropes that are either tucked away or hang from the ceilings in the middle of the gym. The ropes intimidate some students. That gym is my favorite place.

Being involved in after school sports and clubs is not a right; it is a privilege. Therefore, students have to meet eligibility requirements. If students have any D’s or F’s, they are not allowed to play. Also, if students have behavior issues in class, they cannot be on the team or in the club. In addition, students need to maintain good attendance. If students miss school, they most certainly cannot come to practice. Being on a team is a lot of responsibility. If students are not proving to be responsible, they will not be permitted to be in clubs or teams.
