Six Traits Writing - Organization

Our previous blog post talked about ideas.  We talked about how ideas need to be clear and detailed.  Good ideas make sense, help our reader to learn a lot, and are fun to read.  On this post we are going to be talking about the next step in 6 Traits writing – ORGANIZATION.

Shel Silverstein wrote the poem titled "Melinda Mae", found in this book: 

Below is that same poem, but taken apart. To get an idea of how important organization is to your writing, you will need to put the poem back in order on your own blog post - without looking at the original!

Because she said she would!
So she started in right at the tail.

She thought she could,

Just like a good girl should...

But that didn't bother Melinda at all.

She took little bites and she chewed very slow,
And everyone said, "You're much too small,"

...And in eighty-nine years she ate that whale

Who ate a monstrous whale?

She said she would,

Have you heard of tiny Melinda Mae,

Once you have the poem put back into an order that is understandable to YOU, include on your post at least three things that an organized paper must include in order for writing to make sense to others.
