  • Problem-Cause-Solution: identifies a problem, its causes, and proposes a solution based on each cause.
  • Monroe's Motivated Sequence: a five-step method established by Alan H. Monroe in the 1930s, including attention, need, satisfaction, visualization, and action.
  • Comparative: used when comparing similarities and differences between two things.
  • Chronological: used when discussing events linked by time, often used for historical events or demonstrating a task.
  • Spatial: organizes points based on geographical relationships, often used for describing a specific scene.
  • Topical: used when discussing different points that contribute to the main topic, often used for discussing factors contributing to a nation's economic performance.
