Organizational Patterns

Read each of the following passages and decide the appropriate text organization used in each.Last weekend my history class visited Washington, D.C. On Saturday morning we visited the White House. After the White House, we visited the Lincoln Memorial. The statue of Abraham Lincoln is 19 feet high and faces the Reflecting Pool, another attraction in D.C. Following our visit to the Lincoln Memorial, we walked over to the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial. More than 58,000 names of American soldiers who died in the war are carved into this memorial. Finally, our day ended at the Tidal Basin, where we rented paddleboats for a ride on the water. chronological order generalization problem and solution concept Last summer, there was very little rain. Because of the dry conditions, there were more forest fires than usual. People’s lawns and gardens were brown and sun-baked. Water supplies were very low, and many cities and towns put limits on how much water people could use. chronological order cause and effect problem process Bats are important pollinators and are vital to our ecosystem; however, several species of North American bats have become endangered. Contributing to their endangerment is the fact that bats are sometimes deliberately killed by people and are also disturbed by spelunkers and tourists entering their caves. For example, caves are often vandalized when bats hibernate in the winter. Just entering a hibernation cave can result in mortality to the bat because disturbances can arouse them, requiring them to use enough stored energy that they do not survive the winter. The Gray Bat and the Indiana Bat of the Eastern and Midwestern United States, for example, are both endangered as a result of these activities. Many bat caves now have gates that allow bats to fly through the open grating, but keep people out. This preventative measure has helped to protect important bat hibernation areas. Also, rather than killing bats that roost in buildings or block up entries, Bat Conservation International encourages the placement of bat houses nearby, which the bats tend to occupy instead. enumeration compare and contrast concept problem Although moths and butterflies belong to the same insect group, there are many differences between them. Most butterflies fly during the daytime, while moths fly at dusk or at night. Most butterflies have slender, hairless bodies in contrast to the plump, furry bodies of moths. chronological order generalization compare and contrast problem Kids are collecting more than stamps and stickers these days. Some collect coins and bills from around the world. Others collect miniature houses and mansions. An eighth-grade girl in Detroit, Michigan, collects spiders. Others are collecting hard to find baseball cards and Pokemon. generalization compare and contrast problem process Global warming? Just what is it? Scientists agree that global warming refers to the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. process concept problem compare and contrast Climate change is endangering many species of animals including polar bears, tigers, salmon, penguins, and corals. chronological order listing problem process Mexican Chicken FajitasDirections1.
