Is your bedroom a disaster? Mine could have been described as this a couple of weeks ago! My mom gave me one week to clean it…or else. I must say, it seemed like such a huge task, and I was not motivated to clean it. However, I knew something had to be done…or else. I decided that I would tackle this task in small bits. On Sunday, I created a daily checklist and posted it on my mirror. On Monday, I picked up everything on the floor on left side of my room and found a home for it all. On Tuesday, I did the same thing with everything on the floor on the right side of my bedroom. On Wednesday, I cleaned off my dresser. On Thursday, I organized my bookshelf and the stuffed animals in the corner of my room. On Friday, I dusted my furniture and vacuumed the floor. On Saturday, my mom and I organized my closet. I’m proud to say that I’ve kept it clean for two whole weeks now! What is the text structure for the passage above?

• cause/effect

• sequence/

  chronological

• descriptive

• compare/contrast
