This paragraph is written using which text structure?
"My colored pencils, markers, and crayons are alike in some ways and different in others.  They all are used for drawing colored pictures.  They all are about the same size and shape.  But they are different from each other in some ways.  My crayons have more colors than pencils or markers.  My markers make brighter pictures than crayons or pencils.  But my pencils can be kept sharp for drawing fine lines.  Sometimes I use all three to make a picture look just right."

This paragraph is written using which text structure?
"Chimpanzees and humans are alike in many ways.  A baby chimp laughs when its mother tickles it.  After chimpanzees fight, they kiss and make up.  When one chimpanzee comforts another, it gives it a hug or a pat on the back.  There are of course, many ways that chimpanzees and humans are different.  Chimpanzees are smaller and stronger than humans.  An adult male chimpanzee stands three or four feet tall and weighs about 100 pounds.  But a chimpanzee can lift more weight than a man who is six feet tall."

This paragraph is written using which text structure?
"I had a strange thing happen to me yesterday.  I drew with my crayons a picture of a basketball player wearing a yellow shirt.  Then I wrote the player's number on his shirt with a blue crayon.  As a result, the number turned out green. This was because when I mixed blue and yellow, the two colors made a new color, green."

The paragraph is written using which text structure?
"The railroad was not routed through Nicodemus, an all-black settlement in Northwest Kansas.  Therefore, no hotels were built in town.  If the railroad had come through Nicodemus, additional restaurants and stores would have been built.  Farmers would have brought crops to town to be shipped east.  The town probably would have grown and prospered."
