Identifying Organizational Patterns Directions: Use the graphic organizer sheet to match the passages to the text structure used. 1. Chloe and Madison have a lot in common, but they are also very different. They are both energetic, have curly hair, and are in some of the same classes. They like a lot of the same music and have many friends in common. In contrast, Ashleigh likes to play sports and Alaijah spends her time reading and studying. Both of them like to spend time with their friends and families. 2. Elijah had a dilemma last week. He had an assignment for Mr. DeCola and wasn’t sure where to begin. He knew he was supposed to come up with a hypothesis and conduct a study, but he didn’t know what he should test. When he went to the library on Thursday he found a book on science experiments, which helped him with ideas. He decided to test if low-fat milk affected how stretchy string cheese could be. 3. Riley was born in 2000. In 2004 he began preschool in Stafford County. A year later, he entered kindergarten. In 2006 he was awarded perfect attendance, and in 2008 he made A honor roll. In 2012 he moved to Caroline county, and in 2013 he entered Caroline Middle School. 4. This morning Ashley made cupcakes in Ms. Ewing-Williams’s class. First she preheated the oven. Then she mixed flour, butter, and two eggs. Then she added baking powder, a pinch of salt, and sugar. She mixed the batter, poured it into a cupcake tin, and let it bake for 35 minutes. She took them out, let them cool, then iced them with blue and yellow frosting. 5. Michael earned the coveted title of “student of the month” last week. He did this by behaving, turning in all of his assignments, and always following directions. He also helps others and comes to class on time. All of these actions caused him to be nominated for “student of the month”! 6. Chelsea and Valencia went to Food Lion last night to get supplies for Chelsea’s reading log project. They bought poster board, glitter, markers, and index cards. Now she has everything she needs to get her project done before October 25th!
