In this website, click on the menu for Essay & Research Paper Level and scroll down until you see the section called PATTERNS OF ORGANIZATION. Read about different patterns, and decide which one of these is the closest to those you've read in the Opposing Viewpoints series. If you haven't read any of them, then you need to. (You cannot determine the pattern of organization of information without having read several of them.)
How are articles from the Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center of the University Library formatted? I have asked the instructor for help and it has gotten me nowhere. Please help me.
