Chapter Thirteen - Organizing

"A well-organized document allows a reader to anticipate --or predict-- what will come next." (218) this chapter is all about allowing your reader to read your document easily. Creating a sense that one idea leads into a nothing connecting idea which in turn connects to another and so on and so forth. This helps the reader to understand your major points and ideas more clearly. The chapter is divided into three main focus questions, What organizing pattern should I choose?  How can I arrange my argument? and, How can I create a outline? These are all important things to cover when trying to create a sense of order. In teaching us how to organize they organized their information to make it more clear to us. They started broad and through steps get more in depth. By doing that they connected one idea to another and then that idea to another. This made it clear to me (the reader) the points they were trying very clearly to get across. This chapter was helpful because it created a clear way for me to organize my information every time i just need to get my ideas down.
