Blog #11 Due: Monday 11/22/10

This week we are focusing on Text Structure. Think about the book you are currently reading, what kind of text structure does the author use the most. Your book might use more than one text structure. Be sure to give an example from your book that supports the text structure you think is present. If you need help refer to your notes on page 33/34 of your notebook. Remember to include the title, author, and page you are currently on. Also, do not forget to comment twice!

I am reading the book named Hunted:Fake ID by Walter Sorrells. I am on page 130. The text structure that he uses most is cause and effect. Walter Sorrells also uses descriptive and problem/solution text structure in the book, but he mostly sticks to cause and effect. I know cause and effect is a text structure Walter uses because he says once "because I know how hard Ben had worked for this kind of money I felt special that he would use it for me." The author, Walter Sorrells uses a lot of the key words for cause and effect text structure like because of, therefore, and since.

The book I am reading is called Faith, Hope and Chicken Feathers by Andrea Wyman. It is about three kids named Sophie, Harper, and YL. They are all new in the eigth grade. The text structure is mainly placed in chronological order, one vent following another. Cause and effect is definately another text structure, because of all the pranks pulled.

aquest4 said...

The book I am reading is called the Clique by Lisi Harrison. I am on page 76. The author uses chronological order. I know this because the date is on the top of each page in a new chapter. They go in chronological order. The author doesn't use words like First, Second or Lastly but you can still tell its chronological order.

aquest4 said...

ekeck04,

Your book sounds great

aquest4 said...

tfowler3,

His name is really YL?

khunziker3 said...

I just finished reading the book Summer Ball. It was mostly a flashback to his expierience at summer basketball camp. He tells us about the fights he got into and the games he won.

khunziker3 said...

@ekeck
That sounds lik a book i read, Chasing the Falconers.

khunziker3 said...

@tfowler
The book title sounds different than a lot of other books.

jbaptiste2 said...

ekeck04
Is the book scary?

SMOUSHEY04 said...

I am reading SECRET OF THE ANDES by ANN NOLAN CLARK and im on page 14.I do not really know what its really about and what the text structure is yet.I think its descriptive because they are describing the scenery.

SMOUSHEY04 said...

aquest4, your book sound like its awesome.

SMOUSHEY04 said...

ekeck04,your book sound like the character is going through hard times.

jfuentes3 said...

deeper
page 260
the text structure of my book is problem/solution. the main characters, Will and Chester, are presented with many problems, such as the death of Will's younger brother, and the fact they are lost 15,000 feet underground.

bwalton2 said...

I am reading The Education of Little Tree by Forrest Car. Im on page 79. The text structure most used in this book is probably problem and solution. this is because they have a problem with having one of their best dogs die but then they remembered they have dogs that are just as good as Ol' Ringer. Also I think so because they have to make whisky and they can't seel it so they drink it.

bwalton2 said...

aquest4,
Your book sounds really good! I might try reading that!

bwalton2 said...

ekeck4,
That book sounds interesting.

Kbroome4 said...

The book i am reading is called Soul Sufer By: Bethany Hamilton. I am on page 19. I think this book is in chronological order. The book is describing the day before and after Bethany got attacked by a shark and lost her arm. Every chapter is a new day in the correct order of dates.One example is when the book starts out on Halloween day and the next chapeter is November 1st.

Kbroome4 said...

THE title of the book is Soul Surfer!!!! Sorry Ms.Thomas!

KBroome4 said...

tfowler3
Those are some strange names...

That all sounds very depressing...and sad!

lmehan4 said...

The book I am reading is Peaches. The author is Jodi Lynn Anderson and I am on page 207.The text structure my book uses is chronological order. The book always starts from past to present. Also they use words like, then, later, and soon. My book is in chronological order.

lmehan4 said...

lmehan4 said...

bwalton2.
Your book sounds really sad. :(

sdeemer2 said...

The book I am reading is Ike/Abilene to Berlin and it’s by Stephen E. Ambrose. I am on page 80. The text structure that the author uses the most is chronological order and description. I think it is chronological order because it’s talking in the past and getting more into modern time. I think it is description because it has a lot of details and it gives a lot of different characteristics about the topic.

sdeemer2 said...

lmehan3,
sounds like a good book!

sdeemer2 said...

bwalton2,
sounds like a good book! I hope you enjoy it.

lkarstrom3 said...

I am reading The Maze Runner by James Dashner. I am on page I am on page 44. The text structure is Problem/Solution. I know this because when Thomas found himself in the "glade" he wanted answers on how he got there. Also, he has questions about the maze and about the slang all the children there use. A good question Thomas said was, “Why do they need a graveyard for a place full of teenagers." With how this story has been going I believe he is about to find out why!

lkarstrom3 said...

@jfuentes3,
Hey, my book is problem and solution too! Also just so you can fix your post...you forgot the author!

lkarstrom3 said...

@khunziker3,
Summer Ball sounds very familiar. I think that was the book you were telling me about!

rjames4 said...

My book was godless by Pete Hautman. The text structure that is used most is cause and effect. They went onto the water tower and then got grounded. Religion was forced on them so they resented it. there are other causes and effects in this book.

rjames4 said...

@tfowler3 sound kool average kids

rjames4 said...

@smoushey04 sweet title

aouellette3 said...

The book i am readuing is Bully for you, Teddy Roosevelt! by Jean Fritz and i am on page 96. The text structure this book brings is cronilogical order because this is a biography and it has the dates when Teddy Roosevelt did and accomplished things.One example is "April 11 President McKinley gave a popular seniment and declared war." They also use first, then, and now.

aouellette3 said...

bwalton2,

I agree that your text structure is 'problem & solution'.

aouellette3 said...

lkarstrom3,
I find your problem and solution description interesting and right on cue. I agree with you.

ekeck04 said...

The book is a part of a series with two other books in it the first is the extrodenary adventures of alfred kropp the secound is the seal of solomen. This book uses flash backs in its structure. It does that by every time alfred meets one of his friends he goes back to his first or secound book and tells how he meets them. Some times he will g back and talk about how he remembers when his best friend was killed trying to protect a sacred sword and other things like that.

dmcbroom2 said...

I am reading the book the Kinder-Transport. I am on page 105. The text structure is problem and solution, because little is 6 years old and her parents are getting moved to a concetraion and. so because it is the early years of the world war 2,Ollie cant go with her parents. so her and her brother have to go to Egland to get on the kinder-transport.

ccastillo2 said...

Djohns2 said...

The name of my book is Artemis Fowl The Lost Colony. The author is Eoin Colfer, I am on page 67. The text structure of my book is Problem/Solution. I think it is Problem/Solution because everytime there is a problem Artemis's bodyguard solves it and saves Artemis.

ale4 said...

I am reading the book The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. I am currently on page 218. The text structure the author uses Ss a memoir. I know this because It was written as an auto biography and was written by first person.This book was also written as ones personal life, therefore the text structure is written as a memoir.

bwagner2 said...

The book im curently reading is the battle of the labbryinth. Writen by Rick Riordan. Im on page 207. The text structure the author uses the most is descriptive. He describes a lot of monsters like one part he said a dog faced with sea lion type body.

The title of my book is Angel Sanctuary 2. The author is Kaori Yuki. I finished reading the book already. The text structure is cause and effect, problem and solution, and flashback.The whole book is a combination of the 3 text structures.It may be hard to find though. I found it in the High Springs library.

Droller4 said...

I am reading the book the Grave, by James Heneghan. It is cause and effect because they are trespassing when they aren't supposed to, and they end up falling in a ditch which sends them back in time. Also this book could be problem solution, because he is stuck in the 1500's and he wants to get back to the regular time, but he doesn't know how. So basically my book could have multiple text stuctures

Droller4 said...

T, fowler sounds interesting!

Droller4 said...

E,keck sounds weird, but cool.

ebowers4 said...

I think the text structer in my book is cause and effect. It is cause and effect because when Grace gat attaled by wolves, sam sees her for the first time. And after that, Sam watches her, and follows her everywhere. My book is Shiver and i am on page 26.

ebowers4 said...

lmehan4,

tkeatley4 said...

My book is PLANTS WITHOUT LEAVES by Ross E. Hutchins. I have just completed this tedious read earlier :D! I think my book's text structure is description. The author gives characteristics about algae, fungi, slime-molds, lichens, liverworts, mosses, and horsetails. When the author is talking about lichens they describe how they are made up of both fungi and algae, and how some appear to be an unidentifyable crust on a tree.

tkeatley4 said...

ekeck,

Sweet book. I've been meaning to read it.

tkeatley4 said...

Tisom2 said...

The book I'm reading is The Gift by Cecelia Ahern and I'm on page 26. The text structure that she use most is descriptive. I know it is descriptive because she is describing about this man name Lou life. Also it is an problem and solution. Because the problem is that Lou has let this homeless person name Gabe in his house to stay with and now Gabe is destroying his family and life. The solution is that finally Gabe finally found his self and is now living in a house.

djohns2 said...

Tfowler,

amonari2,
awesome book hope you enjoy it

amonari2 said...

My book is named Girls That Growl; the author of this book is named...Mari Mancusi. The page that I am currently on is page 94. The text structure of my book is ... cause and effect. An example of this is “Because Rayne joins the cheerleading squad... now she can spy on the cheerleaders and see exactly why they are growling". The reason why, is because they are ware wolf but... they don't know what they do the night before when the night before, they change into ware wolf and can't control them selves. Then... some people start missing like the cheerleaders' boyfriends and some of the football players. Soon they don't have a football team and it is all because theses cheerleaders don't know what they are doing on a full moon.

Tisom2 said...

ekeck04,
Sounds awesome

esmith2 said...

The book I just got done with is Chew on This by Eric Schlosser and Charles Wilson. I think the text structure is description because it describes a lot of stuff about the fast food industry. An example of this would be, it tells you how they make French fries.

esmith2 said...

ekeck04
sounds intresting

esmith2 said...

tfowler3
Is it a good book

amonari2 said...

khunziker3,

rstraub2 said...

I am reading a book called "the green glass see" by Ellen Klages. I am on page 120. My book is a novel. A novel most of the time is a discpriptive writing. The reason my book is this text structure is because in the book,it descrives how she moves from one place to another, and it tells how she feels about new place. It is also a compare and contrast text structure. The reason is because she compares her old place with her new plzce where her dad lives. He lives in New Mexico.It also takes time during the war, so everything around is very secreat and no one is able to hare any information.

kmedero2 said...

The book I am currently reading is called, When Kids Drive Kids Crazy. The Author of this book is Eda Leshan. I am currently on page 60. The text structure of my book is mostly description. I know this is the text structure because it gives a set of characteristics about how kids drive kids crazy.

rstraun2 said...

amonari2,
That sounds like a good book!
Enjoy it:)

djknowles3 said...

The book that I am reading is called "Dracula." The author's name is Bram Stoker and I'm on page 25. I think the text structure is problem and solution. An example from the book is when Jonathan realized he was a prisoner to Count Dracula. That would be the problem, the solution would be when he finds a way out by going through the windows and crossing the castle ledges.

djknowles3 said...

tfowler3, Does the book have anything to do with chicken feathers?

djknowles3 said...

kyoung2, So thats why its called Swindle?

ale4 said...

I am reading the book The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. I am currently done with the book. The text structure the author use is a flash back. I know this because the story continues with a flashback to her childhood. She tells us what happens back in her child hood with her dad and mom. Therefore the text structure is a flashback.

ale4 said...

ekeck04,
That sounds like a book I would totally read.

ale4 said...

equest4,
I am not a real big fan on chronicle text structures because its kind of boring, tell me how it ends.

jwang4 said...

The book i am reading is Flush by Carl Hiassen. i am currently done with the book. The text structures is chronological order. I know this because, everything happenns after one another.

jwang4 said...

khunziker3,
sounds klike an intresting book

jwang4 said...

Kbroome4,
i do not know why you would like to read a book about a girl who got her arm cut off.

abonacci4 said...

I was reading Mercy on These Teenage Chimps, By Gary Soto, which I checked out of the library yesterday, I and finished this morning. The text structure of my book is Problem Solution. I know this because there are two main characters, Ronnie and Joey. When Ronnie and Joey help out at an awards seremony Joey meets a girl that he likes named Jessica. When Jessica's balloon floats into the rafters of the gym, Joey races and climbs up on the rafters to get Jessica's balloon. Then the Coach, who is in charge, yells at him right in front of the girl and a bunch of other people and calls him a monkey. Later the next day when Ronnie goes to see Joey, he finds Joey in a tree. Joey says that he will never come down not even for school. Ronnie has to help his friend by somehow getting him down in time for school on Monday. This book is also a Sunshine State Reader Book.

mbooth3 said...

I am reading Watership Down by Richard Adams. I am currently on page 220. The text structures in my book are cause/effect and problem and solution. At the beginning of my book one of the main characters, Fiver, has a vision that a great evil is coming. The effect is that Hazel, Fiver, and a group of rabbits leave the warren and make a new one. After they establish the new warren they realize a major problem, they have no does. The solution to their problem is that they go to another warren run by a tyrant and ask to take some does to their warren.

mbooth3 said...

tfowler3,

ijang4 said...

The book i'm currently reading is Alexander Hamilton:Framer of the constitution by Tim Mcneese. I'm on page25. The text structure is chronological order. Because this book tells you about Alexander Hamilton's life. he was leader of the American revolution.

ekeck04

i like your book title.

ijang4 said...

tfowler3

your book title sounds interesting.

eblasberg2 said...

I just finished reading Best friends for never. By Lisi Harrison. The text structure that the author uses the most would probably be problem/solution.For example, Massie and Claire stayed up half the night sewing uniforms for a competition, but they put them in black trash bags and there maid thought they were trash so threw them out. So Massie had to unregretfully agree to work with Claire in order to win the competition.

eblasberg2 said...

djohns2,
Mine is also problem/solution. Your book sounds good, i should read it sometime

eblasberg2 said...

aquest4,
how funny, im reading the second sequel to that book that Lisi Harrison made.

Gcosta3 said...

The Replacement
By Brenna Yovanoff
PG: Done!
The text structure of my book is flash back. Another text structure my book uses is cause and effect. Flash back; In my book Mackies parents have flash backs of when he was a kid and when he got replaced by the monster that is allergic to iron. Cause and effect; Because Mackie is not of this world he has to fight the monsters trying to steel him. He might just loose the battle!

Gcosta3 said...

rjames4 said...
My book is cause and effect too, but i would hate if religion was forced on me.

Gcosta3 said...

rstroub2.....
I would hate not having to share information with anyone.

aadusiaw3 said...

I am reading the book Once Upon A Curse and the author is E.E Baker. I am on page 28.The text structure that the author uses is description. For example in the book he is describing the weather he said " Dark clouds were scudding across the sky by the time I saw the enchanted forest. Hoping to find shelter before the rain began,I fought an over the ever- strengthening breeze. It is mostly description from what I have read so far.It's a little bit of cause and effect because there is also a problem/solution.

aadusiaw3 said...

ekeck04
That is a catching phrase it makes me want to read the book.

aadusiaw3 said...

bwalton2
That sounds like a sad book.

Jdean4 said...

The book i read was Lion Boy by Zizou Corder and i finished the book. The text structure was problem/solution. The problem was that the main character Charlie's parents were tricked and taken for there knowledge. The solution wasn't told because it was the first book in the series. It also was written in chronological order from when Charlie's parents were taken, to when he got on the circus boat, and when he snuck onto a train to Venice.

Jdean4 said...

eblasberg2
My book was also problem/solution.

Jdean4 said...

Khall2
I have heard all kinds of good things about Nelson Mandela.

hfundenburg4 said...

The book I am reading is called Stargirl. The author is Jerry Spinelli and I am done with the book. The text structure that the author uses the most is problem/solution. The first day Stargirl came to school, no one liked her. Then Leo and Kevin decided to put her on the Hot Seat, which was there little television series where students would get asked a whole bunch of random, embarrassing questions. After that, everyone started to like Stargirl and thought she was really cool.

hfundenburg4 said...

aquest4
I heard that was a really good book and I was hoping to read it sometime.

hfundenburg4 said...

aouellette3
I think I might read that biography for my non fiction book because I don't know what else to read!

gfleck3 said...

I am reading the book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling and I am on page 469. The text structure she uses the most is cause and effect and descriptive. When Harry does something It usually leads to Voldemort doing something to mess up his plans. J.K. Rowling describes how the characters feel really well whether they're feeling pain or happiness.

gfleck3 said...

tfowler3,
Er.. Interesting title for a book..

gfleck3 said...

gcosta3,
That sounds like a cool book.

jbills3 said...

The title of my book is Peak. The author is Roland Smith and I'm on page 6. The text structure he uses is description. I think description because it is very description when Peak is climbing the skyscraper. It talks about his finger holds and It's very specific.

jbills3 said...

~Jdean4

Woah, cool book.

jblumer3 said...

The book i was reading was Bully for you, Teddy Roosevelt. The author is Jean Fritz. I am done with the book now. The text structure in the story is chronological order. I think this because it is a biography and it states the order in which Teddy does things. It also uses key words like before, after, and then.

dmcneil3 said...

Well i finished my book "Tower of Treasure" by Franklin Dixon. the text structure of my book is descriptive because my book is a mystery and mysteries need be be descriptive to explain the setting, the clues and plans. An example from my book is when the hardy boys found a crashed car and they describe how it looked.

jblumer3 said...

aouellette3,
I agree completly with you since we are readng the same book.

jblumer3 said...

dmcneil3,
I finished my book too.

Rstraub2 said...

ekeck04,
That sounds like a good book.
I love cause and effect book!

jbills3 said...

~bwalton2

I might read that next.

Rstraub2 said...

tfowler3,
I heard about that book.
Enjoy the rest of it;)

dmcneil3 said...

One thing i forgot to mention is that my book is also in chronological order, from when the crime occurred in my book to when the hardy boys solve the case.

dmcneil3 said...

tfowler, is that a good book

dmcneil3 said...

jblumer, i finished my book to

Kfundenburg4 said...

I just finished my book and it was called Carlos Is Gonna Get It by Kevin Emerson. The text structure the author uses is Problem/Solution. An example would be that Carlos keeps having "Day afters" which are causing the other characters to get in trouble with teachers. The characters make a plan to scare Carlos and try to make his "porblems" go away. The poblem is Carlos and the Solution is this plan the main characters have put together. They hope it works and in the end it does!

Kfundenburg4 said...

aquest24,
I read that whole series and thought it was okay.

Kfundenburg4 said...

khunziker3,
I think your book sounds very interesting and no duh you liked it! You love basketball!!

bclark3 said...

The book im am reading is kingdom keepers by ridley Pearson And im on page 10. My books text structure is problem and solution. It's problem and solution because the characters in the book have to go up against the villans from disney movies while trying to escape. To support my answer more the defention of problem and solution is a problem with solutions which this is.

bclark3 said...

tfowler3, Is that book new or old? and is thhe title the nicknames of the three characters?

bclark3 said...

dmcneil3, I dont know how the book is descriptive and is called tower of treasure.

twilliams3 said...

I am reading the HURT GO HSPP BY GINNY RORBY and I am currenly on page 298 and one text sructure that my book shows is cause and eefect.An example of this would be when the main character,joey willis was told not travel but she did anyway.Since she did not listen to her mother she was attacked by this crazy homeless man who thought it was fuuny that she was afraid of him so he chased up and own the streets of San Fran cisoco.Did i mention she is deaf witch means if she were to step into the road and cant't hear a car horn blow she could or would possibly get ran over, which makes the problem alot worse.This is why i say that my author uses cause and effect the most in the book.

twilliams3 said...

ekeck04,
my book uses the same type of text strucutre and i do agree with you when you say that your autor uses mostly cause and effect beause my does to.

twilliams03 said...

khunziker03,
my book also expreses flaskbacks but i did dnot mention that in blobg which doesn'y make any sense,but my chcracter also expriences flashbacks from when she was beaten by her father to the point her made her deaf.

twilliams03 said...

tfowler03,
are one of you chracters names really YL?If it is please let me kow why or where i van get the book.

jtomlinson4 said...

The book I am reading is The Fire Within by Chris D'Lacey. I have already read this book once and I finished it again. The book is kinda like cause and effect because when David moves in with his new family he finds out about the dragons and how they come to life.He can also controle them using his mind. If he wouldnt of ever movied in with the new family there wouldnt be cuase and effect.

tfowler3: i like books that pull pranks on people so i might just have to read it.

ekeck4:i like hauted books, i love to watch scarey movies and stuff.

scrossley4 said...

My book I am currently on is Double Identity by Margaret Peterson Haddix. I am on page 12 because I just started on this book. The text structure is Cause and Effect because her dad left her with an aunt she never know she had. Now she is confused about what is going on why she have to stay with someone she dont know.

scrossley4 said...

ekeck04, I agree with you and with the key words. My book dont have the key words so it was kind of hard for me to identify the text structure.

scrossley4 said...

tfowler, this book sounds more like a chronological book. So i agree with you on the chronological order.

llindsey3 said...

The book i am currently reading is called Nurse by Peggy Anderson. The page i am currently on is 183. The main text structure in my book is cause and effect. I say that because it's a book about nursing and usually things that happend to a patient is a cause and what happens to the earlier is a effect. A main example in the book is when this man gets into a motorcycle accident and the effect is that he has o go to the hospitial and get both legs amputated.

llindsey3 said...

bwalton2
Thats a very good book.

I am reading the book Shakespear's Secret. This book is by Elise Broach. I have recently finished the book. So I am currently not on a page. The text structure of my book is Cause/Effect because when something happens or when Hero the main character does something something else happens to follow in its place, hence the effect. For example, in the book Hero tells one of her friends that she likes this boy and the effect is that her friend toldsomeone and then the boy found out, it was a rumor. The cause was that she told someone she couldnt trust.

Your book to me sounds very boring, because it is facts and facts are most of the time not fun to read about, well I hope you enjoy it!

I just finished a book called Tom Hanks. The text structure is chronological order. Its a biography so theres no real story to it. Its mainly just a bunch of events going in order. Its a story of his life.

My book is Dreamland. The author is Sarah Dessen. I'm on page 10. The text structure in this book would have to be problem and solution. It would be this because she has many problems and they get solved. Practically all of Sarah Dessens book are like this.

cmazza3,

They should make a movie out of that book.

I am reading the book Hollywood Hulk Hogan. I am on page 39. The text structure is explanitory and detailed. This is the text structure because it is a biography about him. The author uses key terms such as once, this time, etc.

my book is breaking dawn by stephanie meyer and im on page 625. i think the text structure is chronological order because all the events happen in a certian sequence. All that happenes needs the other events to make that event possible.

My book is "Taken." The book is by Edward Bloor. I am done with it. Edward Bloor uses flashback. I know this because it goes from past to present over and over again. Carity goes back and uses her memories to help her not freak out after being taken for ransom.

I am reading the book Lincoln: As I Knew Him. The author of my book is Harold Holzer.I am currently on page 60. The text structure my book is descriptive. An example of the descriptive text structure I found in my book was when Mary Todd Lincoln's sister Elizabeth described mary's and Lincolns wedding. She used many descriptive words such as "elegant and romantic". Therefore, the books text structure is descriptive.

I am currently reading a book on Dennis Rodman. I am on page 17 and the author is Stew Thornley. The text structure so far in the book is cause and effect. It is cause and effect because he works hard to improve his skills as a basketball player and he becomes a legend for being an awesome rebounder.

ncurtis3 said...

tfowler,
The title of your story is very different.

ncurtis3 said...

kbroome4,
Your book sounds very scary.

The book I am currently ready is called Mickey Mantle of the Yankees. Im on page 43. The author is Gene Schoor. I think that the Text Structure is Chronological Order. In the book so far it is telling you about Mantles career from Oklahoma to the big apple New York. Also it tells you how he was found playing at a practice game, all in order of that day on.

ekeck04,
That book sounds interesting.

tfowler03,
That book sounds, intersting but what is with the chicken feathers

The title of my book is Nobody's Duaghter. The author is Susan Beth Pfeffer. I am currently on page six. I am only at the beginning of my book, but i kind of think it's a cause/effect and problem/solution text structure. I think this because on pages 4/5 she doesn't have any where to stay because her aunt passed away. So right now they're trying to find her a home.

KHunziker3,
I always wanted to read flashback text structured book.

BWalter2,
Who is Ol'Ringer?

Hiroshima
Pg.4
John Hersey
My book would be cause and effect. Because of the bomb that went off in Japan, The Japanese army surrendered and the war was over. But then other countries found out how to create and design nuclear weapons and used them as Weapons of Mass Destruction.
