Why organize?  Provides us direction and structure  Helps to create a beginning, middle and end to your work  Helps to keep your work clear, and on topic

How do you do it?  Begin with a topic sentence – what will your work be about?  Use detail to explain your topic – your audience needs to know what you are talking about  Close your work with an interesting sentence that finishes your work off – your audience needs to know that you are done… without saying “I’m done!” or “The End”

How can you organize your project?  Take the sentence you have created and place them in order (oldest event  newest event)  Make sure that each sentence is organized in a way that makes sense.  Have enough detail so that your reader or audience understands what you are saying

It’s hard work…so take your time!  Organizing your work is probably one of the hardest things to do  If work is not in order, or does not make logical sense it will be hard for a reader or audience to understand what you are trying to say  Take time to read your work aloud, and conference with with friends or teachers
