Hi, Hawaii. Oh, hey, Denver. Seoul, how's it going? Let's all write on the same page. (Your parents couldn't do this.)
Since this week, you'll be giving feedback to each other about organization, let's do a warm-up and try some moves together.
First, let's get the big picture. What specific things come to your mind when you think about revising your story for strong organization? Make a quick list, compare it with a partner's, and together hit "comment" and share what you came up with.

- doesn't always have to be in chronological order. You can start with a scene or situation; and it doesn't necessarily have to the first thing that happened in the real time-line. Stream of consciousness is a great example.
The first thing that came up to my mind was order of story itself. Does the events jump from a place to place? Have it's logical order. Does the story flow? Does the story have a conflict and a resolution? Does the writer use organization to show picture while reading?
Michelle
For example asking questions about the writing:
-Are the paragraphs separated by ideas?
-Does the story's basic ideas go in a certain order/pattern?
Also, ...
TIME
Some questions that might be asked.
1. Does your topic sentences relevant to your paragraph?
2. Do you have enough paragraphs to
"show" your story?
3. DO you have transition words or transition sentences to connect the paragraphs and ideas?
4. Do you have an introduction, conclusion, body paragraphs?
5. Does your story flow well?
Lindsay and Clara
1. Divided paragraph for the good of the readers--better looking and easier to understand
2. Ideas are clear, not vague. Not too many ideas in one paragraph
3. Chronicle ??
I think we should have questions like:
a. Is your story reasonably paragraphed?
b. Do you have a clear introduction, body, and a conclusion that wraps up the whole story?
c. Are you able to easily find where the topic sentence and the transition sentences are?
I think organization is important in revision since that that can help the understanding of the story.

understandable...flowing... transition... new people reading your writing...
Clear and clean, formal and neat.
Organization, makes me think of getting the readers attention, also making the story flow well,good word choice,and sentence fluency.
I think we should give questions that will talk about organizations in the feedback such as,
How does your story look from a person who never looked and heard of the 1001 tales project
Are you sure the story is organized well and put together so that the audience can understand the meaning to your story?
-when little groups that gathered together becomes a big group.
-a group of people that meet together and discuss about one topic, helping the community?-- interactions between two or more groups of people.
thinking about revising a strong organization:
-good sentence fluency
-a clear idea and readers can understand the main idea
the end :]
MinaP and ShinheeL
For organization, it is important to organize in an order that is interesting, but more importantly it must be logical. Everything must fit together.
- chronological order
- cause and effect order
- Problem to solution order
- Spatial order
- climatic order
- process order
etc.

-no chronological order
-maybe start with middle and tie back
-start with conclusion, for a twist
Jiyeon's
1. Is it interesting? Does it have a somewhat special or unusual aspect to it?
2.Make sure it's not something so common. Cliches are boring. They make the readers sleepy, so refrain from it
3. Is the story too complicated even to understand? It is important to let readers understand what your story is trying to tell them. It is the writer's job to organize the story so that it is interesting and understandable at the same time.
Lynn's
1. Don't make it chronological. Mix up the orders and use flashbacks.
2. Make sure that the story makes sense even with a mixed up order.
Chai Young
Ideas are to the point. There shouldn’t be random ideas everywhere.

When I think of organization the biggest think I think of is how well the story flows. If a story is well organized readers can read through a whole story and understand how everything is connected together. If it's not the readers will have to stop and reread in order to understand everything which makes the story not as good.
When I think of organization, this is what comes to mind:
-flow
-beginning, middle, and end
-easy to follow the ideas and thoughts of the writers
-don't reveal everything about the characters in the beginning of the story, but add insight to the characters as the story progresses
-interesting, keeps your attention
When I think of organization I think of...
-consistency
-an order (i.e. beginning, middle, end)
-'clean' feeling, neatness
-knowing where everything is and being able to go back and fix errors with no confusion
This is what comes to my mind when I think of organization:
-introduction, body, conclusion
-flow
-neat
-smooth
-chronological
-intresting intro
-excting conclusion
When organization comes to my mind, I think of a something that flows and is easy to read.
An organized story means it's easy to follow and read beacuse it follows a logical storyline and has events that flow.
When I think of organization, I think about order. When I say order, I mean sequencing. I also think of things flowing smoothly.
Organization is when everything is neat and clear. It is very understandable.
