CHOOSE YOUR ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
Selecting an organizational structure before you begin to write makes the
actual writing process easier and more straightforward. If you recognize
that you have several separate issues that need to be addressed,
you might decide to use the category structure. Having made that decision,
the next step is clear: identify your categories.
On the other hand, if you decide to write using a chronology structure,
you won’t list categories; instead, you’ll start at the beginning and continue
on sequentially.
As you review the nine organizational structures on the next page, consider
the versatility and limitations of each, and note that no one organizational
structure is better than another. The sections that follow are
intended to help you understand how to make a decision about which
organizational structure is appropriate for your project.
