6th Grade Writing - Organizing Writing Lesson
Organizing Writing
Organizing writing is arranging ideas in the correct order in a text. Good writers put paragraphs and the sentences within a paragraph in the correct order.
These ideas are helpful in organizing writing:
Separate the ideas into beginning, middle, and end of a passage.
Group similar ideas together.
If the passage gives directions, make sure the steps are listed in the right order.
Reread the text to see if the order of the sentences or paragraphs makes sense.
Remove sentences that do not belong in the passage or reflect the topic.
