Logical Order We’ve already discussed what
chronological order is. Now we need to differentiate it between logical order.
What does the word logical mean you ask: Capable of reasoning or of using reason in
an orderly cogent fashion. Huh???
![Page 29: Organizational text features](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062514/558c147ed8b42a13148b46e9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Logical Order This simply means
“the order of events makes sense.”
How can you tell the difference in logical order and chronological order.
Logical Order Chronological Order
The order of events that
makes sense.
Is the order of events in
which they actually
occurred.

Now we will discuss the next organizational feature…
Cause & Effect What is cause and effect?? Cause: something that brings about an
effect of result. Effect: something that follows an action. This gives reasons/explanations for
happenings.
