ORGANIZATION
It starts with a story….

The Main Orders:
Spatial Order


*takes the reader from one spot to the next,
drawing the readers eye
Spatial order is describing items based on their
physical location or relation to other items. For
example: describing the picture on this page, you
could point to how it’s daylight outside, or how the
woman is feeling in the picture etc. Spatial
organization is used for a variety of purposes
including descriptions, comparisons, and
narrations.
Space Order



Space order means writing about objects in the order
in which they are located. This organizational feature
always begins at some point and goes in some
particular direction.
Ex:
When describing a person, place, or thing,
space order should be used.
Time Order




Time order could be used as a way to draw in your reader like for
example:
 (1)Beginning, middle end
 (2)Pre-End, beginning, middle, all-end
(1) is the complete story for stories that are action packed and is used
by most Authors.
(2) is used when you want to really draw your reader in, because after
all, a story that begins with an ending like The Magic tree House #2:
“Jack couldn’t sleep. He put his glasses on. He looked at the clock.
5:30. Too early to get up. Yesterday so many strange things had
happened. Now he was trying to figure them out.” –Mary Pope
Osborne, The knight at dawn, pg1- really draws you in doesn’t it?
Logical Order


Logical order in writing is considered more
like an analysis. When using this, it’s frequent
to break the subject down into subheadings,
and write about each in a order that is natural
and logical.
The most common type is the breaking it into
order of importance events and details come
into picture. These writing patterns are most
commonly wrote from general to specific,
most familiar to least familiar and smallest to
To show the order building up in importance, authors place
special emphasis on final sentences of paragraphs to show
logical order being used.
Chronological order- organizing ideas in a paragraph by
occurrence of time, used in historical narratives and
explaining procedures
Logical division of ideas- the most common and
is used for grouping related ideas together and
discuss each one, one after another.
Comparison / Contrasting- analyzing of similarities and
differences between 1 or two different things in writing.
The content can either be placed in one paragraph
together or split into individual paragraphs for
similarities and/or differences.
Other’s I may have missed…



Problem->Solution- In an essay, there might be a
problem and a solution that you want to establish like
losing your lunch money, state then in your essay (in
the same paragraph) what is the problem, and what
should be done about it (the solution).
Process-this is used for manuals, but can also be used
in essays…somehow?
Classification- The main idea of the essay is
slaughtered and dissected in each word sentence and
paragraph.

It seemed like an ordinary day when she got
up that morning, but Lynda was about to
embark on the worst day of her life. First, she
fell in the bathtub because her mother forgot
to rinse out the bath oil. Then she spilled
orange juice on the outfit she had spent hours
putting together for school pictures. When she
changed, she messed up the French braid her
mother had put in her hair. As she walked out
the door, she dropped all of her school books
and her math homework flew away. Once she
made it to the car she thought everything
would be all right. She was wrong; her father
didn't look before he backed out of the
driveway and ran into the neighbor’s truck.
Lynda’s side of the car was damaged the
most, and she ended up with a broken arm.
That night, she cried herself to sleep.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when we finally emerged from the storm shelter.
Where the barn once stood there was now only a few tufts of hay. The path
that led to the house was scattered with branches and debris. The house!
The entire roof was gone. The north wall was caved in and we could see
right into the house. Well, what was left of it. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I
noticed that most of our belongings had been sucked up into the great vacuum
and scattered across the countryside. We heard a loud cracking and moaning as
the west wall gave way and collapsed, sending up a wave of dust. And yet, there
in the middle of the front yard was mother’s prized rose bush. It swayed in the
breeze as if nothing had happened. Seeing it made me realize how lucky we were
to be alive. We stood there in dismay, our arms locked around one another.
Question 2

A plan to improve the city’s park was approved Monday night
by the city council. The plan involves adding landscaping to
the north end, rebuilding the bridge over the lake, and updating
the playground equipment. Funds for the project have been
donated by local businesses who hope that improving the park
will bring more people to the downtown area which will in
turn bring more customers. The next order of business is for
the city council to open the bidding process for the various
improvements.

Tips about how to not Jumble:
Rough draft! Then you can:
add notes to the side of your piece of writing
 Use Writing corrections: sp, ->, ¶, ^, SC etc.
 If you want to vent, do it. Write what you feel
about a certain subject then rearrange.
 If your having trouble keeping the same tone
in a piece of writing, add music in the
background to keep it flowing.

Well, it’s your
writing, so get
busy!!
