Ordering ideas means to
put them into a logical
sequence. Order is very
important because it
shows the reader your
line of reasoning thereby
adding meaning to the
information. For essays,
commonly used methods
of ordering information
are: climactic,
chronological, and spatial.
A thesis statement is the
overriding message of an
essay. It tells the reader
exactly what it is you wish
to say about the topic. A
good thesis statement
prepares the reader for
the main idea to be
discussed in the essay.
You should compose the
thesis sentence with care
so it reflects the content of
the essay.
