Topical Order\u2013 The main points divide the topic into logical and consistent subtopics.<\/p>\n<p> Example 1: Riverwalk Park in Bakersfield, California I. Background information II. Layout of the park III. Popular annual events<\/p>\n<p> Example 2: Wild, Edible Foods for the Beginning Forager I. Common mallow II. Mulberries III. Sumac <\/p>\n<p>B.  Chronological (Time) Order\u2013 The main points follow a time pattern, either in the sequence of events or in explaining a process from beginning to end. The result is a finished product.<\/p>\n<p> Example 1: How to Make Bolivian Chicken and Rice I. Prepare the chicken II. Make rice III. Combine the chicken and rice. <\/p>\n<p>Example 2: How to Choose a Speech Topic I. Study your audience. II. Choose a topic that you\u2019re familiar with. III. Narrow down the speech topic. <\/p>\n<p>C.  Spatial Order\u2013 The order of the main points shows a directional, geographic, or structural pattern. <\/p>\n<p>Example 1: Human Skin Anatomy I. The skin\u2019s top layer is the epidermis. II. The next layer is the dermis. III. The bottom layer is the subcutaneous fat layer.<\/p>\n<p> Example 2: First Sections of a Hard News Article I. Subject-Verb-Object Headline II. Byline III.
