Understanding Linear Plans
Linear plans are a straightforward method of organising ideas in writing. They typically involve a sequence of points or events arranged in a logical order, often chronological. This approach helps writers develop their ideas systematically, allowing for clear and coherent progression from introduction to conclusion. Linear plans are especially useful when writing narratives, recounts, or essays that follow a chronological or sequential structure. The plan usually starts with the main idea or opening, followed by supporting points, and ends with a conclusion or resolution. Such plans are beneficial for writers aiming for clarity and logical flow in their work.
