First, create an outline and a short explanation that make it clear how one of the lesson readings is organized. Second, create a document of your own that uses the same type of organization as the reading.

Your new document should be about a completely different topic, but it should use the same organizational scheme as the lesson reading. However, it does not have to be the same length as the original. A document of 300 to 500 words is acceptable.

Your assignment should include the following elements:

· An outline that lists all the major topics and subtopics in one of the lesson readings

· A short description of how the lesson reading uses organization to achieve a specific purpose

· A brand-new document that uses the same organizational scheme as the lesson reading

Ask yourself these questions as you revise:

· Does my outline make it clear what all the major topics and subtopics are about? Can a reader look over my outline and understand the gist of the lesson reading?

· Does my written explanation make it clear what the author's purpose and organizational scheme are? Do I describe how the author uses organization to achieve that purpose? Do I support my explanation with details from the lesson reading?

· Is my new document similar to the lesson reading in all the right ways? Is it organized the same way, for example? Is it about a different topic than the original?
