Answer 1

What are the "organizational patterns" ? :3

Answer 2

@surryyy The instructions say to "look through the organizational strategies above and decide which ones to use. Use one strategy for one paragraph and another strategy for the second," so it's necessary that you include the strategies they are referring to. Please let us know what these strategies are, or we won't be able to help.

Answer 3

these are my strategies..

1. Organizing by facts and examples

When you have a number of facts or examples to use in support of your main idea, you talk about each one in a logical order. Sometimes you will want to have a sentence or two explaining a fact.

Many people point to the decisive Battle of Gettysburg as the key event in the Civil War. The devastating loss by the Confederate forces was caused in part of some very poor decisions by their leaders. In those days, armies on the march used their swift-moving cavalry to keep them informed of what was happening around them. For some reason, the Confederate cavalry leader, J.E.B. Stuart, had his horsemen off on an unknown adventure when the Confederate army blundered without warning into the Union forces at Gettysburg. As a result, the two met by surprise and without planning, and the first moments of battle were confusing for all. This led to a number of poor decisions. One of the Confederate generals noted an empty hilltop called Little Roundtop, and he asked permission to secure it. He was told not to, and the fact that the Union forces later held that site was a key reason for their victory. The most famous error of all was General Lee's orders to have General Pickett send his entire command on a direct attack, requiring them to walk a considerable distance across an open field as the enemy artillery fired at them. Pickett's Charge was a disaster that won nothing and brought 60% casualties to the troops before they finally retreated.

2. Organizing by telling a story or anecdote

Telling a story to prove a point can be very effective, especially if it is a powerful story that moves the reader's heart. A story or anecdote is really just one big example to prove a point. If you look at the paragraph above, you should be able to see that telling more about what happened could expand each of the three examples used in the paragraph. Those three examples could have become three paragraphs, each one of them devoted to one of the stories.

3. Organizing by chronology or process

Chronology refers to time, and stories are usually told by retelling events in the order they happened. Similarly, we can explain how to do something by describing each step in order.

Many golf instructors can describe beautifully the steps to effective putting as it is done by the pros, but those steps have nothing to do with the game played by most of us. The steps I use are probably much more closely followed by others of my ability. I begin by looking at the green to try to figure out how the ball will curve, or break, on its way toward the hole. After I finally admit that I have no idea, I try to decide how hard I should hit it. I can either hit it very timidly so that it will not even reach the hole, or I can make a nice, firm tap that will send the ball far past the hole when I miss. The most important decision, though, is planning my reaction to the miss. For example, I can look to the heavens in despair, as if my miss were somehow the fault of some divinity. I can also react in mock shock, as if I have never missed a putt like that before, or I can calmly walk to my ball and prepare for the next frustrating miss.

4. Organizing by comparison or contrast

When you are trying to compare one item to another, either to show how they are similar or how they are different, you have a number of ways to do it. In an essay, you can have one section of the essay or one paragraph on one topic, followed by the other. Inside a single paragraph, you can have a series of short points, as in the example paragraph above, going back and forth from one to the other. Another way is to explain one first and then the other. In the following paragraph, one situation is described first, then the other. The topic sentence is at the end of the paragraph.

Weddings today are getting more and more elaborate and more and more expensive, and parents are pressured to shell out many thousands of dollars for an event that will be over in one day. With such an elaborate wedding, couples have months of agonizing preparation. They wear thousands of dollars of clothing for one day of ritual and dancing in the joyful presence of hundreds of people they barely know but felt obligated to invite. The only lasting benefits are the wedding presents and the memories. What if, instead, a much more simple ceremony, dress, and reception were planned? The couple could still have guests and the wedding gifts, but, if their parents were willing, they could have much more. If the parents were willing to spend, say, $25,000 for a one-day wedding ceremony, they will possibly be willing to spend the same money on a much less expensive ceremony, with the remainder of the money going to help the couple start their married lives. For example, the couple could leave for their honeymoon knowing they will return to live in a comfortable home of their own, with the down payment paid for by the money they saved by having a simple ceremony. With the costs of elaborate weddings going well into the tens of thousands of dollars, and with most of that money serving no long term benefit, young couples might want to think about using a strategy that will set them up comfortably in their lives instead.
