Question

2. Use this space to objectively summarize the structure of "Prevent Pedestrian Crashes." Which of the three text structures (topical, spatial, sequential) does it use? Or does it use a combination of text structures? What else do you notice about how the text is organized?

Answer 1

The text "Prevent Pedestrian Crashes" uses a combination of topical and spatial text structures. It is organized into four main sections: Causes, Prevention, Solutions, and Resources. Within each section, the text is organized by topics, including specific types of causes, prevention strategies, and solutions. The text also uses spatial structure by referring to the location of the pedestrian crash, such as the intersection, and emphasizing the importance of visibility and lighting. Additionally, the text uses sequential structure by providing a step-by-step guide to preventing pedestrian crashes.
