- 6. Spatial or Description - It gives a reader a detailed feature that creates a picture on his/her mind about a topic. Spatial organization is when information in a passage is organized in order of space or location. - Spatial organization can also be called as descriptive writing.
- 7. Spatial or Description - It can also be used in fiction and non-fiction. - Even if narration style of writing is usually arranged chronologically, if the author is describing a setting of a certain scene, the author is describing it spatially.
- 8. Example of Spatial or Description Volcanoes can be a source of fear and destruction. Even though volcanoes are like pressure valve in the inner earth, they are very beautiful sights. One of the parts of the volcanoes that cannot be seen all the time is its magma chamber. It is beneath the earth’s bedrock and is very hot. Conduit is the one that runs from the magma chamber to the crater, which can be seen at the top of the volcano. The crater is where the magma exits. Volcanoes are very scenic yet very dangerous.
- 9. Cause and Effect - It presents the relationship between specific events, ideas, or concepts. - Cause and effect is one way of organizing information in a text. It explains reasons why something happened. It can be ordered as cause to effect or vice versa. It is generally used in expository and persuasive writing modes.

They are caused by germs. So, trembling outside in the cold probably won’t strengthen your immune system, but you are more likely to acquire illness outdoors because you will greatly be exposed to germs.
- 11. Comparison and Contrast - gives the similarities and differences between two or more people, events, concepts, ideas, and the like.
- 12. Example of Comparison and Contrast Mangoes and durians are both fruits. They both have seeds inside of them. Each has a skin, but durian skins are thick and difficult to peel. Mango skins are thinner and peel easily. Durians have distinct stench while mangoes have sweet smell, but both fruits are delicious.
- 13. Chronological Order - It explains a text by the time an event occurs. - Chrono means time and logic means order. - The events occur along a timeline even if the author uses flashbacks, or flash forwards. All stories are organized chronologically, therefore, every story has a beginning, middle, and end.
- 14. Chronological Order Non-fiction stories organized chronologically usually contain dates while fiction passages or narratives usually have no dates. A narrative or story is a journey through time, and all of the events are arranged in order of time. Stories require the passage of time. Sometimes, time will stop in a
- 15. Example of Chronological Order This morning was pretty crazy. My brother woke up really late because of wrong setting of alarm. He just wore any clothes and ran out the door. He rode his bike as fast as he could with the thought that he was going to be late for sure, but when he got there everyone was outside and there were fire trucks all lined up in front of school. He guess somebody pulled the fire alarm before class started. It worked out though, because nobody really noticed or minded that he was tardy.
