USES PATTERN DESCRIPTION Sequential Consecutive order of steps, not connected to a specific time Takes your reader step by step through the stages of a process in the order in which the process occurs (example: description of the processing system in an order-fulfillment warehouse) Chronological Sequence of steps or events as they occur in clock or date time Takes your reader step by step through the stages of an activity or event as it occurs in time from beginning to end and denotes the time frame for each step (example: a trip report) Spatial Describes the topic at the level of detail necessary for your reader to envision its appearance or how it occurred (example: a vehicle accident report) Description of an object, an area, or a phenomenon according to the physical arrangement of its features Division Division of a complex subject into its relevant parts, with a discussion of each part and how it is related to the whole Describes a complex whole by breaking it into smaller units to make it easier to understand (examples: [11 a description of online social networking resources available for job searches or [2] the contents of this table, which describes each pattern and its function as part of the overall topic of organizing information) Classification Grouping of disparate units of a whole into related categories Organizes information by grouping the topic into its largest number of equivalent parts and, as needed, subdividing each of those into its relevant components (example: grouping exchange-traded funds by their investment sector) Introduces your reader to your main, or most important, points at the beginning of your writing, followed by background information that supports your main points (examples: [1] a press release or [2] the executive summary of a formal report) Decreasing Order of Importance Order beginning with the most important item and leading to the least important item Increasing Order of Importance Order beginning with the least important item and leading to the most important item Leads your reader through the increasingly significant items and details that support conclusions you reach at the end of your writing (example: a sales presentation) General to Specific Order leading from an overview or general statement to a detailed explanation that develops or supports it Introduces your reader to the main, or general, point you wish to make at the beginning of your writing and leads your reader through the facts and other supporting information that describes how you reached your general point (example: a memo or proposal that begins with a recommendation) Specific to General Order leading from the details of a topic to a broad overview or conclusion Leads your reader through the facts and other supporting information you use to build your case for reaching the conclusion you state at the end of your writing (example: a report that begins by using the details of an industrial accident to demonstrate how they lead to the root cause of the accident)
