I. Text Organization

 -Text organization is the way a text is organized that helps

to guide the reader logically through it. This property makes
a text readable and its message clear. Organization can be
achieved through the following techniques:
 
 
1. Physical format Signal words- is an aspect of the
organization that is immediately apparent to the reader. It is
seen in how the text physically appears like headings and
subheadings, bullet points or font emphasis. However, use
this technique with discretion as improper or superfluous
formatting can be confusing.
 
2. Signal Words- Signal words are textual cues that
readers can use to follow a text. They can “signal” the
transition from one point to another, the ordering of events
and concepts, or the writer’s chosen text type (e.g., linear
narration, question and answer).
Structure- The structure provides the framework upon
which the text is organized. It consists of the following:
Beginning: introduction, thesis statement, hook, Middle:
Supporting details End: conclusion, summary, final
message
NOTE!!!
What are the properties of well written paragraph?
-There are four essential elements that an effective
paragraph should consistently contain: unity, coherence, a
topic sentence, and sufficient development. In order for
a paragraph to maintain a sense of unity, the paragraph
must focus solely on a single idea, point, or argument that
is being discussed.
