Chronological order is one of the easiest methods of organization to master
in essay writing. This kind of logical order involves organizing your ideas in a
paragraph in the order of their occurrence in time. In academic writing,
chronological order has many uses. One common way to use this kind of
logical order is in a historical narrative, for example a biography.
However, chronological order is not just used for historical narratives. It is
also used in business, science and engineering to explain processes and
procedures.
There are two keys to writing a good chronological paragraph:
1. Discuss the events (in a narrative) or the steps (in a process) in the order
in which they occur.
2. Use chronological transition signals to indicate the sequence of events or
steps.

Logical Division of Ideas/Order of
Importance
This kind of logical order is the most common method of
organizing your written thoughts in English essays. When
you use this method you group related ideas together
and discuss each group, one after the other.
In everyday life, things are divided into groups.
Supermarkets separate groceries into different groups:
produce, is in one section and milk products are in
another section for example.
Note:Therefore remember to group your ideas into
common groups and this will help your writing
coherence.
Comparison/contrast involves analyzing the similarities
and differences between two or more items. As with
other
paragraphs
the
keys
to
writing
a
comparison/contrast paragraph are to put your ideas
into some kind of order and to use appropriate transition
signals.
The content of a comparison/contrast paragraph can
vary. Some paragraphs emphasize similarities, while
others emphasize differences. You can discuss both
similarities and differences in one paragraph if you do
not have many points to discuss.
