Organizing the Course

Begin an outline of the main points or procedures to be included.
Arrange the main elements within the structure you’ve chosen.

 Kraft & Kraft  
We Agree

We think that methods of organization for the courses in the group you chose are appropriate for the following reasons: 

GROUP B

Course Organization
How to Install Memory Chips in Your Computer chronological order, so that the steps in the procedure will appear in the order in which they should be followed
Understanding the Principles of Democracy general to specific, so that the student gets a broad understanding first, and then proceeds to the details
How Hurricanes Form chronological order, so that the stages in development of the storm are presented in the order in which they occur, and so that cause and effect relationships can be made clear
