Supervisors: this is part of a learning hub about writing effective paragraphs. Please do not delete answers or alternate questions.Spatial order and chronological order are two ways of organizing your paragraph. Most people have an instinctive desire to order things when talking about them, so you probably already use these techniques without knowing what they were called!

Spatial order refers to space or layout. To use spatial order, you describe the setting in some sort of order based on location - you can go in a clockwise direction, or start at the front and go to the back, or go from top to bottom - so long as you list things in some kind of logical order. For example, if you write a paragraph about your local mall, you could organize the paragraphs and begin at the entrance, then describe each section of the mall until you got to your favourite store.

Write your topic sentence. Now, list everything in that setting in order, depending on where it is. Make each item in your list into a complete sentence, check for correct punctuation and spelling, and you've got your paragraph!

Chronological order refers to time. To use chronological order, you could describe the subject by starting at the moment it began and working forward until present day; or you could start by describing it as it is now, then working backwards until the moment it began.

So long as you go in a specific order with your paragraphs, and don't just "jump around" tossing information into the mix randomly, then you will be using order correctly. Pretend you are telling the information to a friend, or read your paragraphs out loud, and you will be able to tell if they are in good order.

Write your topic sentence. Now, list everything that happened in order, from the beginning to the end - that is chronological order. Make sure that you have correct punctuation and spelling, and you have your paragraph!

When writing a paragraph, you want to open with a topic sentence. The next few sentences should support your topic sentence. You will then end with a closing or summary sentence.
