What text structure is used in this passage?

Sitting around a campfire is a classic summer tradition. Before you can tell scary stories, though, you will need to begin making a fire. Begin by gathering firewood from around your camp. In addition to wood, you will need other tinder like pine needles, bark, or dead plants, to help ignite the fire. Then, dig a small pit for your fire and build a ring of stone around it for maximum safety. Place your wood and tinder into the pile and start the fire using an ignition source like a match. Once ignited, slowly blow on your fire to build heat. When you have a flame, use large pieces of firewood to build a teepee. Now sit back and relax in front of your roaring campfire!

What text feature is used in the passage?

Let’s face it… onions have a less-than-stellar reputation. However, there are a handful of instances where onions have made it into the spotlight. If you’ve seen any of the Shrek movies, you can probably picture the onion-shaped carriage that Shrek and Fiona use for travel. You might also remember Shrek telling Donkey that ogres are like onions… they have many layers. Holes, a Newbery-award winning book by Louis Sachar which later became a hit movie, also features onions. In the book, the main characters, Stanley and Zero, would not have survived if they hadn’t found a stash of onions to eat. Have you heard of “The Onion Song” by Marvin Gaye? It was released in 1969, and it became so popular in Great Britain that it reached #9 on the singles chart. If books, songs, and movies continue to feature onions in a positive light, perhaps someday onions will have the good reputation they deserve.

Trey is so nervous about his math test today. He told me this morning that he had knots in his stomach. According to Trey, he had a lot of homework last night and didn't have time to study. Maybe it wasn't too bad. Trey's good at math, and he always listens and participates in class. He really shouldn't panic.

What text structure is used in this passage?

Onions are made up of unusually large cells. These cells are readily visible with just a small amount of magnification. As a result, onions are a perfect vegetable to use in science education. When teachers want their students to observe cell structure, they often gather some inexpensive onions and facilitate a lesson where students use a microscope to view an onion skin cell.

What's the POV?

“Occupied in observing Mr. Bingley’s attentions to her sister, Elizabeth was far from suspecting that she was herself becoming an object of some interest in the eyes of his friend. Mr. Darcy had at first scarcely allowed her to be pretty: he had looked at her without admiration at the ball; and when they next met, he looked at her only to criticise.” - Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
