can be played off of the floor, and in volleyball, the ball cannot touch the floor, or it is out of play.

times they may fail because they are lazy, and don’t do any work. Another reason why students may
fail is if they don’t go to school. If you’re not in class, you may miss a lot. Many students fail classes
every quarter. What text structure is this?

_____3. Dr. Knapp doesn’t want people to sit back and let the toad vanish. He believes that everyone
is responsible for restoring the toad species. Dr. Knapp thinks we could help restore the toad
population if we stop mowing parts of our lawns and let the grass grow wild to reserve space for the
toad. He also believes we need to stop using pesticides and fertilizers. The chemicals kill the insects
that toads eat. If we preserve some spaces in our lawns and stop using fertilizers, Dr. Knapp believes
we can save the toads. What text structure is this?

_____4. Devers experienced the highlight of any sprinter’s career, as she stood on the huge platform in

 summer of 1988, as Devers was training for the Olympic Games, to be held in Seoul, South Korea, she
began to feel very tired all the time and failed to make the Olympic finals. What text structure is this?
