Why there should be a logical order of sentences? Since all the segments (paragraphs, sections, chapters) make the same basic demand upon readers to understand, readers must determine what its topic is and how its various parts fit together. In order to reach this goal, there must be a logical order of sentences. 2. Guidelines Guidelines for reordering sentences: 1) Begin by announcing the topic 2) Present generalizations before details 3) Move from the most important to the least important or vice versa 4) Pay attention to forecasting statements, transitions and headings nullHomeworkRearrange the order of the following sentences to make it a logical paragraph.1) The Civil War was still going on. 2) He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg only out of courtesy. 3) Everett was a handsome man and very popular everywhere. 4) On November 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln went to Gettysburg in Pennsylvania to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery. 5) There was much criticism of President Lincoln at the time. 6) The principal speaker was to be Edward Everett, a famous statesman and speaker of the day. 7) He was not at all popular.2_____5_____7_____1_____3_____6_____4_____nullProverbs and Quotations1.
