Let’s practice!
• Read the following text and look for signal words/phrases to help you decide which type of text structure it is:
• Signs of persuasive techniques include– a clearly stated opinion or claim– logical reasons for the opinion supported by
relevant evidence– an appeal to the interests and backgrounds
of a particular audience

What text structure did you guess?
• Answer: Enumeration or Listing• Why? • Because the writer presents the
information in a structure that resembles an outline using a bulleted format.

Let’s try one more…
• Persuasive techniques convince an audience by providing sound reasons. These reasons persuade through strong, relevant supporting evidence. Propaganda techniques, though, appeal primarily to an audience’s emotions and may contain false or misleading information.
• What type of text structure is this?

The answer is…
• Comparison/Contrast• How do you know?• The writer explains how two things are
different using the word “though.”• Persuasive techniques convince an audience
by providing sound reasons. These reasons persuade through strong, relevant supporting evidence. Propaganda techniques, though, appeal primarily to an audience’s emotions and may contain false or misleading information.
