Organization structures:
Hierarchy: your basic top-down approach with the main page being the page you see first. Usually the most important page because you can easily go to the other pages from this main page.
Database model- Using a search mechanism in order to find what you are looking for. Much of the same way a database is used to find specific data, the user types in a keyword and the program searches for those specific words and returns the data the meets the criteria. It can create much better accuracy and efficiency regarding what you are looking for.
Sequences- Very similar to the use of chronological order or even alphabetical. There is a pre-set “sequence” in which the information will be displayed. Not very customizable and can be non efficient.
Webs- Basically the free flow of ideas and structure. Pages are linked together in really no specific order allowing the user to find his/hers interests. Authors mention this can be very confusing to users because there is no set order.
Hypertext- The use of hyperlinks that involve text, images, and other multimedia formats to link to different pages. It can be confusing because of the no specific set order and makes it easier to get lost within the site

You're missing some here (needed to do both readings) and also needed to explain which one you thought would be best for the final project. The ones you have are well done though, so there is that. :)
