Choose A Structure

Worksheet Description

This worksheet provides a list of various organizational structures that can be applied when arranging information in writing. It categorizes these structures into seven types, each suited for different kinds of information, such as chronological order for events, problem/solution for discussing issues and resolutions, and priority sequence for ordering information by importance. Two questions at the bottom prompt the writer to think about the nature of their content and to select the most appropriate organizational structure for their information. The worksheet is a tool for planning the layout of written work.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to effectively organize information in their writing. By presenting different organizational strategies, it encourages students to consider the nature of their content and select a structure that best communicates their ideas. The exercise of choosing an appropriate structure aims to enhance their critical thinking about the flow and clarity of their writing. Ultimately, the worksheet serves as a guide for students to improve the coherence and persuasiveness of their written presentations.
