Practice Identifying Text Structures

Lets look at the first paragraph titled, "Crocodiles and Alligators"

What type of text structure? 
​Use these directions to determine.
  1. Read the paragraph
  2. Look for key words 
  3. Highlight the key words on your paper.
  4. Identify the text structure
  5. Write your answer in the chart
                            Crocodiles and Alligators
​
          Crocodiles and alligators look very much alike, but there are ways to tell them apart. The crocodile has a pointy snout, while the alligator snout is rounder. The crocodile weighs less than the alligator and can move faster. Both animals have an extra-long lower tooth. When the crocodile's mouth is closed, you can see this long tooth. However, when the alligator's mouth is closed, the tooth is hidden inside the mouth.

What text structure could this be based on the clue words?
