For an essay about the most influential presidents in history, focusing on how they may have influenced one another and the world, the two best text structures would be:
-
Compare and contrast - This structure would allow you to examine the similarities and differences between various presidents and their influences on each other and on global events.
-
Cause and effect - This structure would enable you to discuss how the actions or ideas of one president influenced the decisions or policies of another, as well as how their presidencies impacted historical events and societal changes.
These two structures would effectively support the analysis and connections you aim to make in your essay.
