Grade 5 learners match author purpose to text structure: history articles to chronological order, persuasive writing to problem-solution, reviews to compare-and-contrast, and science explanations to cause-and-effect. The worksheet uses fill-in items and a matching task that connects realistic Grade 5 prompts to their best structural choice. Students practice restructuring and revising drafts so structure aligns with the author's intended purpose and audience.
