Understanding Linear Plans
A linear plan is a straightforward outline that presents ideas in a sequential order, often following a chronological or logical progression. It helps writers organize their thoughts systematically before drafting their work. However, errors such as inconsistent sequencing, missing steps, or unclear transitions can weaken an otherwise effective plan. Recognizing these issues allows writers to revise their plans for clearer, more cohesive writing.
