Structure
The structure of something refers to how it has been put together. So a building's structure relates to how many rooms there are, where the walls go, how many storeys there are, how many windows and doors and so on. The structure of a text means the same thing: how it is put together. No text will make sense unless it is structured in a clear way.
Different types of text can be structured differently. A set of instructions, or a recipe, may use numbered paragraphs to show the reader what sequence to work through. A story, however, may be structured in a different way; events may be out of sequence to create intrigue, some details may be left until the end to create suspense or the story may be told from different viewpoints.
Your teacher may ask you about how the writer uses structure to develop a text, how connectives are used to link paragraphs and to show where a text may be going. You may also be asked why the beginning or ending of a text is effective. You may also be asked about the layout of a text.
