Three Writing Patterns for a Organized Essay

By Katherine Holland


When you write an essay, do you open fire on your audience and overwhelm them with a massive host of info that beats them? If you have been accused of doing so , you have employed the shotgun technique - bombarding your readers with so many not related ideas everywhere that you make your essay a chore to understand. The power to organise is significant if you want to avoid writing more shotgun essays in the future.

Sequential Organisation

When you are writing an essay about a step by step process or a historic event, the sequential pattern of organization will help you sort out the steps and chronological events as they take place. For instance, If you'd like to give an explanation for the wine-making process in your essay, you can identify the key steps of making wine, such as harvesting, preparing, fermenting, pressing then aging. You are able to add other sub-steps under these.

Advantages-Disadvantages

This pattern is very beneficial if you're attempting to present the varied sides of an issue. In writing about the pros and cons of a university education, the essay's first part could contain the benefits of going to college. You can also organize these advantages according to seriousness. After exhausting the benefits, you could then move on to the drawbacks. The essay should end with a clear conclusion weighing the advantages and drawbacks and your suggestion.

Problem-Solution

A persuasive essay benefits well with this sort of organization. The problem-solution pattern is most effectively used when you are making an attempt to persuade your readers to a certain call of action. As an example, you would like the residents of your town to bike more frequently to places where you wish to go. A strong way to go about this is to present the problems of motorised transportation and how it is affecting numerous sides of city life, including traffic, pollution and crimes. Next, present the solution of bicycle riding and explain how this may reduce traffic, reverse pollution and stop crimes.
