Study Notes
- Sorting ideas for a paper is similar to sorting physical items or digital content.
Narrative Organization
- Arrange ideas chronologically (first, second, third, etc.) when writing a story or narrative.
- Ensure events are in the correct order to avoid confusing the reader.
Spatial Organization
- Organize ideas based on location (side to side, center outwards, bottom to top) when describing places.
- Suitable for descriptive papers.
Organization by Importance
- Start with the most important idea to persuade or convince the reader.
- Alternatively, build up to the most important idea by starting with the least important.
Comparison/Contrast Organization
- Comparison involves identifying similarities, while contrast involves identifying differences.
- Two methods: present all similarities followed by all differences, or alternate between similarities and differences.
Problem and Solution Organization
- Similar to comparison/contrast, with two methods: describe the problem then the solution, or address parts of the problem with corresponding solutions.
- For example, describe all bicycle problems, then all solutions, or describe each problem and its solution in sequence.
General and Specific Organization
- Use broad categories with specific examples in each when writing about categories.
- For example, provide general information about garden weeds, then discuss specific weeds like dandelions and thistles.
Cause and Effect Organization
- Identify the reasons why something happened and explain how each cause led to a specific result.
- Suitable for explaining events or processes.
