Every nonfiction text is written in a certain structure. Students should analyze the text for how the events, ideas, concepts and information is written. Some of these types of structure include chronological order, comparison, cause/effect and problem/solution. After the student has identified the structure, then he or she can identify the parts of the text that led to this conclusion. In this quiz, the students will identify and describe the structure of a text.

Story 1 - Paleoindians

The Paleoindians were the very first group of people who came to America. These people needed food. They were called hunter-gatherers because that is how they got their food. They hunted wild animals and gathered berries and other fruits and vegetables they saw. Before they came to America, they had already hunted many of the animals and gathered many of the berries they could find. Of course, more animals would be born and more berries and fruits would grow, but that would take some time. The Paleoindians needed food now or they would starve to death. When the frozen water that separated Asia from America which is located near Alaska began to melt, it exposed some of the land below it. The Paleoindians could now cross over this land bridge into a new area of land with more animals and plants. So, the Paleoindians did just that. They crossed the bridge into America and continued to move further south hunting and gathering.

Story 2 - Paleoindians

A large group of people known as the Paleoindians were living in Asia near Alaska. The only part that separated Asia from Alaska was a body of water. Around 14,000 BCE, this body of frozen water melted and subsided, so the Paleoindians were able to cross over the land. As hunter-gatherers, these groups of people would periodically travel for hundreds of years over to America. Over time, these people would migrate south into Canada. They would hunt small wild animals and pick berries or other fruits that they could find. Usually they would stay in one area for a short period of time before moving further south or they would eventually settle there. Some Paleoindians settled as far south as South America.

Story 3 - Paleoindians

For the most part, Paleoindians hunted small game animals and picked parts of plants. These hunter-gathers spent the majority of their time finding food and surviving in the harsh cold climates. Eventually, a civilization was established many years later. In a civilization, they would stay and settle in one area. The Paleoindians were nomadic wanderers. Those in a civilization would divide up the jobs in their settled area. Not everyone hunted or gathered food. Some of them built their shelters and others may have made the clothing or weapons for the population. However, each Paleoindian had to do each job for himself or herself.
