Class Activity/Organizing Information
Three different organizational patterns/structures found in the document were chronological, general to specific, and cause and effect. Chapter 1 states the order in which the events occurred and then goes right into what is general and the more specific and then of course what the cause and effect.
It shows chronological order by stating that the “north tower was struck between floors 94 and 98, with the impact roughly centered on the north face. The south tower was hit between floors 78 and 84 toward the east side of the south face.” The following statement shows the cause and effect: “Each plane banked steeply as it was flown into the building, causing damage across multiple floors. According to Government sources, the speed of impact into the north tower was estimated to be 410 knots, or 470 miles per hour (mph), and the speed of impact into the south tower was estimated to be 510 knots, or 590 mph.
