Authors organize their info with certain patterns or methods. Being able to recognize methods of organization ie: listing, analysis, cause/effect, comparison/contrast, definition/example helps us understand the ideas in the textbook and how they are connected to each other. It will also help us remember what we read. A useful way to ID an author's method of organization is to look for word clues. OWC's indicate which pattern he/she is using. An author will often use more than one method from paragraph to paragraph, but have one overall method for each chapter.
