    COHERENCE

    • Coherent paragraph should comprise ideas or details that


    are logically arranged. The presentation of the ideas
    should be clear in order and makes sense to the
    readers.
    • A paragraph is considered incoherent if there are
    sentences that are misplaced or in wrong order.
    Using Logical Orders
    • Supporting information should follow a clear logical order,
    such as order of importance, chronological order, spatial
    order, comparison-and-contrast order, or order of
    development.
    Order of Importance
    • Organizes ideas from least significant to most significant
    • It suits persuasive paragraphs in which you are building a
    case for an opinion.
    Chronological Order
    • Also known as time order
    • Presents events in order of their occurrence and is useful
    for relating incidents or explaining how something is
    done.
    Spatial Order
    • Arranges details by their locations
    • It functions well in descriptions
    Comparison and Contrast
    • Organizes details and ideas according to similarities and
    differences
    Developmental Order
    • Simply develops out of a particular topic sentence and
    presents information according to an order mentioned in
    that topic sentence or according to the writer’s logical
    pattern of thought about the main idea.
    Using Transitions and Other
    Connecting Words
    Transitions, coordinating words, and subordinating words
    clarify the order of ideas and connect them smoothly.
    Connecting Words that Aid
    Coherence
    Logical Order Transitions, Coordinating Words,
    and Subordinating Words
    Order of Importance First, finally, for one reason,
    second, most, even, greater,
    third
    Chronological Order When, first, later, formerly,
    while, next, finally, at last,
    then, as soon as, meanwhile,
    afterward, before
    Logical Order Transitions, Coordinating
    Words, and Subordinating
    Words
    Spatial Order Outside, inside, beyond, near,
    overhead, beneath, under,
    cover
    Comparison and Contrast But, besides, in addition, just
    as.., so also, yet, similarly,
    however
    Developmental Order Also, finally, along with, next,
    furthermore, for example
    1. First, it failed to explain why the different planets travel at
    different angles and at different speeds in relation to each other
    and to the sun.
    2. French astronomer Pieere de Laplace and German metaphysicist
    Immanuel Kant maintained that the planets in our solar system
    were formed from a central nebula.
    3. Third, and most obvious to critics of the theory, a planet as
    massive as Jupiter could not have been spread out as a thin ring
    of matter surrounding the sun, because it would have been
    possible for that thin stream tp have contradicted into a huge
    spherical body.
    4. Because of three major drawbacks, however, critics of the theory
    found it incomplete and imperfect.
    5. Second, centrifugal force alone would not have the power to
    propel rings of matter outward into space.
    6. According to this theory, as a nebula began to rotate, it threw off
    rings of matter centrifugally, and each of these rings then
