Check out the full course at http://crwnow.com Transcript: When you write your essay it’s very important that you organize your ideas, just like it’s important to organize your room. Take a look at these two rooms. One is organized. One is not. Now, it’s not just about being neat. There are very important reasons why we need to organize our essays. Imagine these two rooms were essays. One essay has points everywhere, strewn all over the room, whereas the other essay has points very neatly organized. You know exactly where everything is. Thus, organization helps your audience to understand your points. By laying things out neatly, your readers can easily understand what your points are. Furthermore, because your points are neatly organized it’s easier for your audience to remember your points. In the room on the left, you wouldn’t remember where your socks or your books or your pens are, but in the room on the right everything is in it’s place, so you can easily remember where everything is. Similarly, having a well-organized essay means that your audience can easily remember what your points were. Now, you may not like cleaning your room up, but it’s not hard to do, right? You just have to ut everything away. Similarly, it’s very easy to organize your essay. You can do it in two main ways. The first way is to simply state your organization pattern in your thesis statement. For example, i could say “Dogs and cats interact with people in different ways.” Based on this thesis statement, you’d expect me to describe the different ways that dogs and cats interact with people, so I’d probably expect a kind of contrast pattern to contrast, or show the differences between, dogs and cats. I can also do this by using transition words. If my first body paragraph was about how dogs are friendly and love to be around people, I can signal the organizational relationship by using a transition word such as “in contrast”: “In contrast, most cats are aloof and ignore people.” This transition word showed that the relationship between these two ideas was one of contrast, or difference.
