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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteekeck04,
ReplyDeleteYour book sounds great
tfowler3,
ReplyDeleteHis name is really YL?
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.
ReplyDelete@ekeck
ReplyDeleteThat sounds lik a book i read, Chasing the Falconers.
@tfowler
ReplyDeleteThe book title sounds different than a lot of other books.

ReplyDeleteIs the book scary?
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.
ReplyDeleteaquest4, your book sound like its awesome.
ReplyDeleteekeck04,your book sound like the character is going through hard times.
ReplyDeletedeeper
ReplyDeletepage 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.
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.
ReplyDeleteaquest4,
ReplyDeleteYour book sounds really good! I might try reading that!
ekeck4,
ReplyDeleteThat book sounds interesting.
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.
ReplyDeleteTHE title of the book is Soul Surfer!!!! Sorry Ms.Thomas!

ReplyDeleteYour book sounds really sad. :(
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.

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!
ReplyDelete@jfuentes3,
ReplyDeleteHey, my book is problem and solution too! Also just so you can fix your post...you forgot the author!
@khunziker3,
ReplyDeleteSummer Ball sounds very familiar. I think that was the book you were telling me about!
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.
ReplyDelete@tfowler3 sound kool average kids
ReplyDelete@smoushey04 sweet title
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeletebwalton2,
ReplyDeleteI agree that your text structure is 'problem & solution'.

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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeletethe book i am reading is tentacles .ronland smith is the author . i am on page 243.the text structure is past because the book says that the Vietnam and that war was it the past.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteT, fowler sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteE,keck sounds weird, but cool.
ReplyDeleteI 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.

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.

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.

The solution is that finally Gabe finally found his self and is now living in a house.

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.
ReplyDeleteekeck04,
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome
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.

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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteamonari2,
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good book!
Enjoy it:)
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.
ReplyDeletetfowler3, Does the book have anything to do with chicken feathers?
ReplyDeletekyoung2, So thats why its called Swindle?
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteekeck04,
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a book I would totally read.
equest4,
ReplyDeleteI am not a real big fan on chronicle text structures because its kind of boring, tell me how it ends.
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.
ReplyDeletekhunziker3,

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

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.

ReplyDeleteyour book title sounds interesting.
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.
ReplyDeletedjohns2,
ReplyDeleteMine is also problem/solution. Your book sounds good, i should read it sometime

ReplyDeletehow funny, im reading the second sequel to that book that Lisi Harrison made.
The Replacement
ReplyDeleteBy 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!

ReplyDeleteMy book is cause and effect too, but i would hate if religion was forced on me.
rstroub2.....
ReplyDeleteI would hate not having to share information with anyone.
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.
ReplyDeleteekeck04
ReplyDeleteThat is a catching phrase it makes me want to read the book.
bwalton2
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a sad book.
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.
ReplyDeleteeblasberg2
ReplyDeleteMy book was also problem/solution.

ReplyDeleteI have heard all kinds of good things about Nelson Mandela.
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.

ReplyDeleteI think I might read that biography for my non fiction book because I don't know what else to read!
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.
ReplyDeletetfowler3,

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.
ReplyDelete~Jdean4
ReplyDeleteWoah, cool book.
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.
ReplyDeleteWell 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.
ReplyDeleteaouellette3,

ReplyDeleteI 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!

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.
ReplyDeletetfowler3, Is that book new or old? and is thhe title the nicknames of the three characters?
ReplyDeletedmcneil3, I dont know how the book is descriptive and is called tower of treasure.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteekeck04,
ReplyDeletemy 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.
khunziker03,
ReplyDeletemy 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.

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.
ReplyDeletetfowler3: 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.
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.
ReplyDeleteekeck04, 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.
ReplyDeletetfowler, this book sounds more like a chronological book. So i agree with you on the chronological order.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.

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.
ReplyDeleteI am reading Bad Girls Don't Die by Katie Alender. I am currently on page 117. So far the text structure is cause and effect.

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.
ReplyDeleteMy 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.

These stories are about kids middle and high school facing through problems like Self-Acceptance,Drugs and Alcolhol,Family Problems,Suicide,TRagedy,Abuse,Courage, Learning Challenging lessons,Eating Dissorders, Depression,Death and Dying, and Growing Up.
ReplyDeleteMy 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.
ReplyDeletemy book is Double Dog Dare. It is a book that has jokeing in it so it is kinda humorous.so if you like humorous books just go to the library and go ask for the Double Dog Dare book and check it out. I think you will like it alot its very funny.
ReplyDeleteI 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.

ReplyDeleteHunted:Fake ID by Walter Sorrells sounds interesting, enjoy it.
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.

ReplyDeleteThe title of your story is very different.

ReplyDeleteYour 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.

ReplyDeleteThat 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.

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.
