Text Structures
The first text structure that really popped out from the begging was description, an example of this was "I see trees cover with big, green leaves, spreading out their monstrous branches like an umbrella". The word that helped give this away was the words big, green, and monstrous. The next text structure that was in the book was time line the example that was there was "It's January 19, 1945". The signal word in this text structure was "January 19, 1945".
