Text Structures Story Worksheet

Read the story. Then answer each question using details from the story. Look for the way events and ideas are organized.

The Snow-Day Supply Drive

On Monday morning, a heavy snowfall closed the roads around Cedar Hill. The community center had planned to deliver warm meals to older neighbors, but its van could not get through the deep snow. Lucy and Madison heard about the problem and wanted to help. First, the girls called the center to ask what supplies were needed. Next, they posted a message asking nearby families to bring soup, bread, and fruit to the center. Then Camila and her brother shoveled a path from the front door to the sidewalk so people could safely drop off bags. By lunchtime, fifteen families had brought food. Last winter, the center had collected only nine bags during a similar drive. This time, volunteers packed twenty-four bags. Because volunteers could not drive, they delivered the meals by sled along cleared sidewalks. The snow kept the van parked, but the neighbors found another way to help. As a result, every meal reached a nearby home before evening. The center planned to keep a few sleds ready for future snowy days.
