ORGANIZING AS A WRITER

This "Organizing" section shows you how to better organize your writing.  Sometimes the way you have started--written a first draft--creates enough organization, especially if your paper is relatively short or simple.  However, sometimes you must develop a different or richer organization.  This section shows you how to do "macro-organization": the larger body parts, sections, paragraphs, and major details.  It has six chapters:

B. "Organizing" Chapters:

7. What Is "Organizing"?--Levels, Times, & Types of Organizing

8. Major Organization--College papers vs. Grade School Papers

9. Basic Layouts--Several Basic College Paper Maps or Layouts

10. Typical Section--Basic Pattern of a Body or Topic Sectios

11. Paragraph Patterns--Basic Diagrams for Forming Paragraphs

12. Details & Images--Basics of Adding Quotations, Stories, & Images
