i think the text structure of the text we read was discription beacause it is describing the different frogs and how to catch them like it says to catch night frogs you have to go out in someplace moist and in forest in the night

cesaR said...

I think that the auther put the text in seqence beacause it told what frogs they found

sofias respnse said...

i think the text sturctur is cause and effect because the cause is that theirs 12 new species of frogs and their was this team that rediscovered three known species.the effect was that there was a coorg night frog and that frog was originally described 91 years ago from when the people wrote this article.

I think the text structure is sequence.I think this because I read that the auther used first and second to put it in sequence.For example sequence means to put it in order.

jhayson said...

they discribe the text by the main idea then buting details about the frogs

Cesar said...

I think it is seqence because it tell the read in order what they found and the auther said first,second...

Rafael said...

i think the text structure of the text we read was description because it is describing the different type of night frogs like the coorg night frog.

CESAR said...

I agree with Sandy because the auther did say first second... thats why I agree with Sandy

Rafael said...

i disagree with cesaR because just by finding frogs doesn't mean it is in order.

Rafael said...

I disagree with sandy because what if it isn't in order it doesn't say it is in order.

Night frogs only come out at night for example in the picture it showed a frog in a dark place.

Sakeo said...

The article that I read was Faskanating New Frogs.The new species include three particulary intresting frogs.

i kind of agree with sandy because it is in order by time so its kind of like sequence but i still think its cause and effect because theirs different information.

Rafael said...

I agree with maurice because the text is describing the different types of night frogs.

MAuRicE said...

I disagree with sandy because it wasn't really in order beacause it didnt show any time it just talks about where to get the different frogs.Oh and i thank Rafael for having the same thought of what I thought as what I hsd

Rafael said...

I disagree with sofia because the text isn't showing the causes of finding the night frogs.

Sandy said...

I agree with Cesar and Rafael. I think it is description and sequence. One reason why I think it is description is because the author really is describing the frog for example the new frog only comes at night.I also think it is sequence is because the author used the numbers 1 and 2 to describe what they do first.Sequence is when you write it in order by time and description is when you describe something!

sakeo said...

I agree with rafael beacause it describes what kind of frogs come in the night.For example,crogfrogs come in the night.
