written Text
I. Organization

 Arrangement of ideas, incidents, evidence, or

details in a definite order in a text.

 ideas are logically and accurately arranged.

II. Coherence and Cohesion

 Coherence: logical arrangement of sentences to

be easily understood by the reader.

 Cohesion: how the word units, sentences, and

ideas were connected through the arrangement of
details according to orders and the use of signal
devices.
 II.A. Arrangement of details

A.1. Chronological Order - the details

are arranged in the order in which they
happened
This morning was crazy. My alarm clock was set for PM
instead of AM, so I woke up late. I just threw on some
clothes and ran out the door. I rode my bike as fast as I could
and thought that I would be late for sure, but when I got
there, everyone was outside, and there were fire trucks all
lined up in front of the school. I guess somebody pulled the
fire alarm before class started. It worked out, though,
because nobody noticed or minded that I was tardy.
 II.A. Arrangement of details

A.2. Spatial Order- sentences in a

paragraph are arranged through a
geographical location
The inside of Bill's refrigerator was horrible. On the top
shelf was a three-week-old carton of milk. Next to it sat a
slice of melon that had started to get moldy. To the right of
the melon sat the remains of a macaroni and cheese dinner
that had been served a week earlier. On the shelf below was a
slice of cake from his sister's birthday party. Though there
was food, none of it was edible.

After looking at all the brochures and talking to several
salesmen, I decided to purchase an SLR camera. For several
years I had been dissatisfied with the results I was getting from
my point-and-shoot camera. The framing was imprecise, and
the focus was not always accurate. I had planned a vacation to
an area that promised many fabulous photo opportunities, and
I wanted to capture each one with accuracy. But the most
important reason I decided on the SLR camera was the great
versatility it offered.
