Chronological Writing

In our conversations with others, we present our ideas in a logical order. This way, we make sense to our listeners. Typically, we relate events in the order they occurred, so our listeners don't become confused as they follow our ideas. 

In writing, the pattern we present our ideas in is called organization. Writers need to know about organizational patterns because readers expect what they read to make sense logically.

 
 The most common way to organize writing is called chronological order. Chronological order is the order in which the events occurred, from first to last.This type of organization is especially effective if you are describing a process, relaying a series of actions, or telling a story.

This week you must write a paragraph (between 5-10 sentences)  in chronological order. You may choose from the following topics:

1. Two people met, fell in love, and got married
2. A young person discovered a particular sport, practiced/played it throughout their life and now plays professionally
3. The weather change from January to July
4. The first day of 7th grade
5. Summarizing the plot of your favorite movie or book.
6. Your morning routine to get ready for school

Your post is due no later than Friday by 5pm.

  1. "Beep Beep Beep" my alarm clock screams at exactly 6:30 A.M. I get up still a little drowsy, hoping I could sleep in. I roll out of bed with a little moan, I pick out my clothes and get dressed. I rush down stairs in a hurry and run into the bathroom. I get my pink toothbrush and put blue minty tooth paste on my brush, I brush my teeth. Then I brush my messy hair and get all the knots out. I pick up my mini leopard locker I got for Christmas, I open it and I pick out my mascara, eyeliner, and a light brown eye shadow. First, I put on my mascara (Only three stokes), then eye liner, I make sure to do the best I can, last but not least the eye shadow. I run into the living room and grab my bag, making sure all homework is done. I hop in my moms van, to go pick up my friend for school. We rush off to school, and that is my morning routine when I have school.

  4. First, in January the weather is very cold. You step outside and feel the bitter cold air touch your skin. Then, snow starts to fall and a blanket of fluffy snow covers everything. Next, the temperature begins to rise and the snow starts to melt. Now, you can start to hear the chirping of birds and feel the temperature still rising. Lastly, the flowers start to grow and the air is refreshingly warm. It's finally June.

  7. "Carli time to get ready for school" I hear being shouted from downstairs. I stuff my face in my pillow and pretend it didn't happen but then once again I hear "Carli wake up". I roll out of bed moaning and groaning and do a silly little cat like stretch then go and do my hair along with my makeup. Next I spend half my morning picking out my outfit and getting dressed like every girl does. I make my way down the stairs and almost fall down every time. I don't normally have breakfast so I grab my purple toothbrush with my sparkling fresh toothpaste and brush my teeth. I use my minty mouth wash and swoosh it around a little and spit it out. Then when I have sometime I go on my phone for a little then grab my book bag and out the door I go. Walking to the car I need to be careful because it is almost all ice and trust me it hurts when you fall down. Then I hop in the car and off to school I go.

  8. On the first day of 7th grade I drove to O'maley school after a great summer break. I didn't really want to be back. All the students are put in the cafeteria. Then they call out all the homerooms for beaut port. Next, I get to my homeroom 302. I see all the people in my homeroom and a few of my friends are in it. Then the power goes out for a while and we just sit there listening to our homeroom teacher explain what is going to happen. Lastly, the power comes on and classes are shortened. That means we only briefly meet our other teachers. That was what the first day of 7th grade was like.

  9. First, the temperature in January drops and becomes very chilly outside. Next, all the flowers and grass outside begins to die. After that light fluffy snow begins to fall and cover the land like a white blanket. Once it stops snowing some kids go skiing, snowboarding or sledding but most people stay inside. Then the temperature begins to rise above freezing level and the snow starts to melt. Next, all the trees and flowers then begin to grow again and get there leaves back. Finally, it's July and everyone begins to go outside and enjoy the weather again.

  10. My Morning Routine
    First, I wake up once my alarm clock goes off loudly and obnoxiously. Next, I get out of bed sluggishly and get washed up for a whole, new day. Then, I have to choose my outfit that I am going to wear to school. Once I have chosen my outfit, I go downstairs to blow dry and straighten my hair. After that, I get my sparkly makeup bag and put my makeup on to complete my look. Before I head out, I brush my teeth so they are sparkling white. Finally, I get my school stuff ready to go and head out the door for a fresh start.

  12. First, in January you step outside to feel the cold air. Sometimes there is even snow. You can even go sledding in the snow. As it becomes March the air is still cold, but it is getting warmer and the snow is starting to melt. Now it has become spring. The flowers are starting to grow and the birds are chirping in the morning. You no longer feel the cold air its just cool breezes. When it becomes June there may be some cool breezes but it is mostly hot all the time. When it is July it is still summer and you can go to the beach and swim. You also have no school in July. From January to July there are three different seasons , and the weather changes from cold to hot.
