There are many ways of to create an online
portfolio, and I will outline some of the steps
below. First of all, choose a platform and
create an account. Second, choose the
layout, a little and an appropriate design.
Finally, enter the information in each of the
categories and remember to update your
worksheets on a regular basis. In sum, these
are some of the steps to follow if you need
to create an online portfolio.
Headaches can have several causes. Many
people think that the major cause of headache is
nervous tension, but there is strong evidence that
suggest diet and environment as possible factors.
Some people get headache because they are
dependent on caffeine. Other people may be
allergic to salt, or they may have low blood sugar.
Still other people are allergies to household
chemicals including polishes, waxes, bug killers
and paint. If they can manage to avoid these
substances, their headaches tend to go away.
When one is deciding whether to go to the
beach or the woods, the type of activities that
each location offers are an important point to
consider. At the beach, one can enjoy the
water by swimming, surfing or even building a
sand castle with a moat that will fill with water.
When one is in the woods, one may be able to
go fishing or swimming in a nearby lake or one
may not be near to water at all.
DIFFERENT TEXT
STRUCTURE
Objective:
At the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
•Uses knowledge of text structure to glean the
information he/she needs.
Meriam Webster
• Construction
• Arrangement of the parts
TEXT STRUCTURE
➢Text structure refers to how the
information within a written text is
organized.
DIFFERENT TEXT
STRUCTURE
1. DEFINITION/ DESCRIPTION
➢This type of text structure features a detailed description of
something to give the reader a mental picture.
- For example - What is the most important
- characteristics characteristics
- How is it being describe
- for instance
(what does it look like, how
- such as does it look like, how does
- including it work, etc.)?
- To illustrate - What is important to
remember about it?
2. CAUSE AND EFFECT
➢ This structure presents the causal
relationship between an specific event,
idea, or concept and the events,
ideas, or concept that follow. The
results of something are explained.
CAUSE AND EFFECT
3.COMPARISON/CONTRAST
➢ This type of text examines the similarities
and differences between two or more
people, events, concepts, ideas, etc. two
or more things are described. Their
similarities and differences are discussed.
COMPARISON/CONTRAST
-However/ yet - in the same way/ just as
-Nevertheless - Also/likewise
-On the other hand - Different
-on the other hand - while
-but/ whereas-similarly
-although
-In contrast/ comparison
- Either/ or
- What item are being compared
- In what ways are they similar? Different?
- What conclusion does the author reach about these items?
Example: The Technical Vocational Livelihood or TVL Track is designed to
provide students with job-ready skills that they will need in the future
while the Academic Track help students prepare for the subject
specialization of the college course to be taken in the future.
4. ORDER/SEQUENCE
➢This text structure gives readers a chronological of events or a list of
steps in a procedure.
- First, second, third…
- Later
- Next
- Before
- Then
- Finally
- After
- When
- Since
- Now/ previously
- Actual use of dates
- What items, events, or steps are listed?
- Do they have to/ always happen in this order?
- What sequence of events is being described?
- What are the major incidents that occur?
- How is this structure revealed in the text?
Example: Planting cactus and succulents is easy. First, prepare
your pot, soil and plant. Next, put the soil into the pot, then dig
a little hole in the middle
and put the plant in it.
5. PROBLEM-SOLUTION
➢ This type of structure sets up a problem
or problems, explains the solution, and
then discusses the effects of the solution.
a problem is described and a response
or solution is proposed or explained.

- What can be done to solve the problem?
Example: Thousand of people have died since this pandemic broke
out. What we can do for now is to stay at home, observe physical
distancing, and wash
hands often.
Now that you know the different text structures, let
us check how much you have learned through the
next activity. Read the selection on the next page
and identify the discipline to which the text you
have read belongs to. Write also the signal words or
clues that helped you determine each structure.
Copy the table below on a separate piece of
paper and compile this on your portfolio.
Different Text Structure
• DEFINITION/ DESCRIPTION
• CAUSE AND EFFECT
• COMPARISON/CONTRAST
• ORDER/SEQUENCE
• PROBLEM-SOLUTION
