Logical Order

Writers use logical order to help readers understand their writing. Logical order is an order that makes sense. Logical order can be in sequence. Sequence or chronological order is the order in which things happen. Logical order also uses details to support the writer's ideas.

Multiple Choice

What is logical order?

• When the author tells a story out of order.

• When the order doesn't make sense.

• When the order does make sense.

• When the author tells the story backwards.

Chronological Order Part 1

With the help of "clue" words, you can easily understand the correct order of a story.

First: This word is a clue that the sentence should start things off. Remember, it doesn't have to be the first word in the sentence.

Next: This word is a clue that something came before it. A sentence with this word could be second, third, or fourth. You will have to rely on information in the other sentences to decide.

Chronological Order Part 2

Third, Fourth, Fifth: These are great clue words that tell you exactly what order the events happened.

Finally: This is a clue word that tells you this is one of the last sentences in the story. It should describe the last event that happened in a sequence.

Topic Order

Writers use logical order to help explain their ideas. Each sentence and paragraph must be placed in a way that makes sense. Topics should be clear and followed by examples and details. Although these passages are not in sequence, they still use clue words to guide the readers. These clue words or transition words let the readers know what is next. These words may include however, for example, and similarly. Another part of logical order is a conclusion. A conclusion is a paragraph or sentence that wraps up the passage. A conclusion may answer any questions that the reader might have.

Example - Which sentence is out of place?

(1) On Friday, our first day of camp, we went fishing at the lake. (2) After we caught four fish, we decided to hike to the other side of the camp. (3) While we were swimming, my friend Jude held his breath for three minutes under water! (4) We sang songs around the campfire on our last night of camp. (5) On Sunday morning, we packed up our gear and boarded the buses back home. (6) On Saturday morning, we rode paddleboats and went swimming.

Multiple Choice

Which sentence in the passage is in the wrong place?

• Sentence 6

• Sentence 3

• Sentence 1

• Sentence 2

Answer Explanation

Sentence 6 is not the final event in the chronological story. Sentence 6 should be placed before sentence 3. Sentence 3 describes what Jude did while the group went swimming. Also, if the speaker left camp on Sunday, then the group must have sang songs on Saturday night.
