What is your thesis? What is your topic statement? For a Narrative: 1. Starting on the left-hand side, begin with the first major detail and add the remaining details (whether four or many more, simply add squares) in chronological order. For Two Kinds of Cause and Effect Papers: 1. Starting on the left-hand side, square one is the CAUSE and the remaining squares represent the EFFECTS. 2. If the paper is organized the opposite way, the first square represents the EFFECT and the remaining squares represent the CAUSES. 3. If the cause/effect paper is a chain reaction, follow instructions #1 and organize the subsequent effects in chronological order.
