Form Must Not Dictate Content...


Patterns of organization are important, but they do not tell us what to write our papers about.

There are many types of organizational patterns we have covered so far:
Order of Importance
Chronological Order
Spatial Order
Cause and Effect
Compare and Contrast


They all have their purpose in writing, but remember that you have the power! It is up to you to choose the best mode of organization for the topic you have chosen to write about. You should not write based on mode of organization (for the most part).

Consider getting some extra practice by going to myskillslab and working on some of the tests posted there. You can also read a more intensive study on organizational patterns in EG or here (Caution: There is some crazy flash illustration happening on this page).
