You are one of Santa’s reindeer (other than Rudolph) and you are jealous of all the attention that that red-nosed reindeer is getting. You’ve been offered another job and have decided to go in to Santa’s workshop office and negotiate a better deal. Does Santa match your demands or do you decide to take the new gig (and what is it)? Write this scene.

Inference is using the information from the text/photo and your background knowledge to make a conclusion of what is happening. Make an inference from the picture below.
Alright! Let's do our last text structure, which is description! Description is probably the easiest to identify and do because all you're doing is describing an informational topic. You don't compare and contrast it. There's no problem and solution. There's no cause and effect. And, there's no order and sequence.
Here's my example and then you do your own. Remember, it must be informational! The Poison dart frogs are members of the Dendrobatidae family. It has a bright color that warns off its predators. Some people think that they're only blue, but they can actually be yellow, gold, copper, red, green, black, and blue. The Poison dart frogs are extremely toxic and they have powerful venom that can kill 10 men! Ready for the next text structure? It is order and sequence! Watch the video and write a order and sequence for an informational topic of your choice. Here's my example. On September 11th, 2001, a series of terrorist attacks on the United States shocked the world. Boeing 767 crashed into North Tower at 8:45 AM. Boeing 767 crashed into the South Tower following that at 9:03. The South Tower collapsed first at 10:05 while the North Tower collapsed at 10:28. Another text structure is cause and effect. The cause is what happens and the effect is the result of that! Watch the video below and write a paragraph with an example. Here's mine (it has to be informational). IF THE VIDEO DOESNT WORK, THEN JUST CLICK ON "CAUSE AND EFFECT" ON TOP OF THE VIDEO. America is seen as the land of opportunity where anyone can eventually get a good job and make decent money. This country offers many benefits that other countries don't like freedom of expression and the promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These reasons are many people choose to migrate and start a new life in America. Cause: America offers many benefits. Effect: People migrate to America. Another text structure is compare and contrast! Watch the video below and write your own passage for compare and contrast. Remember that it must be non-fiction. One form of non-fiction text structure is problem and solution! Watch the video below and then write your own example passage that shows a problem and solution structure! Grab the nearest informational text around you in the house. It can be a newspaper, magazine, or a textbook. Describe what information it has! If you're unable to find something around the house then you can find an informational text online and describe what it is about.
1. Watch the video below. 2. Give me an example of a simile AND a metaphor. Then describe to me what was being compared and what you are trying to say. Mr. Luu's example: Today I felt like a sloth at home because of the cold weather! I went right home and cuddled up in my warm bed with my dogs beside me. It felt amazing to stop working and take a break from everything. The best thing of having a home to go to is that I know that I am a royal king in my house! It sure feels great! Description: I compared myself to a sloth because sloths can be lazy animals and they just lie around not doing much. This is an example of a simile because it uses the word "like". Later on, I use a metaphor and I compared myself to a royal king. Describe the setting of this picture. Don't just tell me where this picture is at, but give me sensory details like smell, sight, touch, sound, and taste as if you were there!
