SEQUENCING

SEQUENCING

Whenever we draft a message/content we have to write many lines. All these lines cannot be written altogether. We have to put them one after another according to the need of document. We need to give them a sequence. Hence, sequencing refers to the placing of a number of lines one after another in a single chain form. It is helpful to understand the content completely.


 

Sequencing is defined as the efficient ordering of the content in order to improve the learners' understanding and help them achieve their objectives (Morrison, Ross & Kemp, 2007). 

SEQUENCERS

Proper sequencing needs certain words and phrases that indicate the beginning or middle or ending of the content. Such words and phrases are called sequencers. These sequencers can be classified in four different types on the basis of their usage:

a) Sequencers used in the beginning
b) Sequencers used in the middle
c) Sequencers used for the interruptions
d) Sequencers used in the end.
e) Sequencers used in Procedures or Steps
f) Sequencers used in Chronology
g) Sequencers used in Flashbacks or Retrospection
h) Sequencers used in interruption

 Sequencers Indicating Beginning

      • First, let’s gather all the ingredients.
      • First of all, I would like to thank everyone for being here.
      • To start with, we need to prepare the dough.
      • In the first place, we must ensure our safety.
      • Initially, I was hesitant to try rock climbing.
      • To begin with, we must define the problem.

  Sequencers Indicating Middle

      • · Secondly, let’s discuss the budget for this project.
      • · Next, chop the vegetables.
      • · Then, we’ll add the chopped vegetables to the pan.
      • · After that, we will let the mixture cook for a while.
      • · Following that, the quarterly sales figures improved.
      • · Subsequently, she went on to win the award.
      • · Meanwhile, I’ll prepare the dessert.
      • · Simultaneously, we will launch the two marketing campaigns.

  Sequencers Indicating End

      • · Finally, we have completed the project.
      • · Lastly, I would like to thank my family for their support.
      • · In the end, it’s the effort that counts.
      • · To conclude, I will restate my main argument.
      • · Ultimately, our goal is customer satisfaction.

 Sequencers for Describing Procedures or Steps

      • · The first step is to preheat the oven.
      • · The second step involves mixing the ingredients.
      • · The next step is to pour the mixture into the pan.
      • · The last step is to let it bake for 30 minutes.
      • · The following step includes decorating the cake.
      • · The preceding step was to whip the cream.

  Sequencers Indicating Chronology

      • · Before we proceed, let’s review our guidelines.
      • · After the event, we will gather for a debriefing.
      • · Later, we’ll catch up for a coffee.
      • · Soon, the sun will set.
      • · Then, I realized I had forgotten my wallet.
      • · While I was cooking, the phone rang.
      • · As soon as the bell rang, the children rushed out.

      • · In retrospect, I would have done things differently.
      • · Years ago, we used to vacation here every summer.
      • · At that time, I was not aware of the consequences.

Sequencers used for interruption

      • · Suddenly, I remember my college days.
      • · All of a sudden, a loud noise dragged me back to the present.
      • · But then, we could not manage to escape.

 Importance of sequencers

 a)     Clarity and Coherence

Sequencers help to arrange thoughts, actions, or events in a logical order.

b)     Narration and Explanation

Sequencers are used to indicate the order of events and make a story (narration) or instructions easier to understand.

c)     Effective Communication

Sequencers facilitate smooth transitions between ideas and improves communication.

d)     Academic and Professional Writing

In academic or professional writing,  Sequencers helps to organize ideas and arguments logically.  They make writings effective.

e)     Reading Comprehension

For language learners, understanding  Sequencers can improve reading comprehension.

f)      Language Proficiency

Finally, the correct use of  Sequencers helps to draft more complex sentence structures and develop the ability to express thoughts in a clear and organized manner.

TYPES OF SEQUENCES

There are several simple sequences available -
1. Chronological sequence
2. Step-by-step sequence
3. Spatial sequence
4. Paired sequence
5. Topical sequence
6. Perspective-based sequence
7. Sort-by-property sequence

Each of these simple sequences is discussed below.

1.      Chronological Sequence

In a chronological sequence, items are ordered according to the date or time when they occurred. We use chronological sequence in making reports, experiments report, data analysis, etc.

Advantages:

a) A chronological sequence is easy to apply.
b) It is useful when time is more important in a document.
c) It helps to develop a series according to time.

Disadvantages:

The chronological sequence has “and-then” syndrome. It means whenever we connect one sentence to another we generally use ‘and ‘then. It is a tiring sequence.

2.      Step-by-step Sequence

In a step-by-step sequence, items are organized according to their order within a process. We can use step-by-step sequences when we write any process like How to upgrade financial management software, how to change a flat tire, how to make tea, etc.

 Advantages:

a) The sequence is easy to apply, and easy to follow.
b) It helps to write any process.
c) It is easy to understand step wise instructions.

Disadvantages: 

a) Not ideal for many content preparation.
b) Only ‘how to…’ can be written in this sequence.

3.      Spatial Sequence

The spatial sequence means use of geographic dimension to describe a structure or place, etc. Direction, sides (left, right, above, below, etc.) are used to visualize how items are placed together. For example- Description of roadside attraction in Delhi Hatt, the human nervous system, design of an engine, etc.

Advantages: 

a) It emphasizes the spatial relationships between items.
b) This can lead to a stronger understanding of the whole.
c) Audiences can easily visualize how items are placed together.

Disadvantages: 

a) The unnecessary use of spatial dimension may make the description lengthier.

4.      Paired Sequences

Paired sequences are used to compare and contrast and mostly two items at a time are taken for such comparison. This sequence is used to write about Advantages vs. Disadvantages, Cause vs. Effect, etc.

Advantages

a) Natural pairings are easy to understand.
b) Using a paired sequence helps to disclose the suspense.
c) It is a very simple sequence.

Disadvantages

a) It is not flexible to handle real life situations.

5.      Topical Sequences

The sequence that follows the simple pattern of writing sentences according to topic is called topical sequence. When other sequences cannot work then you can use topical sequence. Examples- Presentation on ‘greenhouse effect’ (topics-introduction, reason, effects, advantages, disadvantages, etc.)

Advantages

  a)     It can be applied in almost every presentation.

  b)     It is easier to write any topic in this sequence.

Disadvantages

  a)     Being simplest, it is weaker than any other sequence.

  b)     By their nature, topical sequences are more abstract. The audience can easily get lost.

c)     Presenter may ‘miss’ an important topic.

6.      Perspective-based Sequences

A perspective-based sequence involves investigating some entity through a series of different lenses. For example, to consider a proposal for a loan to start a new business, several perspectives are checked:

a) From the perspective of telecommuting employees
b) From the perspective of office-based employees
c) From the perspective of managers
d) From the perspective of IT
e) From the perspective of Accounting

Advantages:

a) Good for persuasive presentations.

Disadvantages: 

a) Can be repetitive (boring) as you consider each of the perspectives.

7.      Sort-by-property Sequences

Here, property means quality. This sequence is a special topical sequence that allow a presenter to choose one property (quality) of their material and organize content along that property (or dimension). Once a quality is chosen, the content can be organized in an appropriate order, like

a)     Smallest to largest

b)     Most understood to least understood

c)     Most concrete to most abstract (specific to general)

d)     Least impactful to most impactful

Advantages

   a)     Easy for an audience to follow and predict.

Disadvantages

  b)     Difficult to choose right dimension.

8.      Compound and Nested Sequences

When the Presentation grows longer, it may be divided it into seperate parts, and different sequence are used to present each part, one after the other. This is a compound sequence.

Advantage

a)     The complex presentation can be easily presented in this sequence.

Disadvantage

a)     Being complex, it is difficult for beginners.

NOTICE FOR A BUSINESS MEETING

NOTICE OF A MEETING

The statement that contains the particulars of holding a meeting is known as a notice. It is one kind of request to the members for attending the meeting. The date, time, place, and agenda are informed through the notice. It may be oral or written.

“ A notice is the communication-verbal or written informing the persons entitled to attend the meeting about the time, date, place and the business of the meeting.” - S.K. Dutta

When a meeting is to be convened, a notice is required to be sent to all who are to attend it.

It should satisfy these conditions:

1. It should be under proper authority

2. It should state the name of the organization.

3. It should state the day, date, time, and place. Also, sometimes, how to reach the place

4. It should be well in advance. Some require seven days’ notice and some 48 hours.

5. It should state the purpose and, if possible, the agenda

6. It should carry the date of circulation and the convener’s/secretary’s signature

7. It should go to all persons required at the meet

8. It should mention the TA/DA etc. payable and the arrangements for this

In practice, it is necessary to ensure that the notice has been reached in time. This may be done telephonically. Dispatch section and post are prone to delays

We often find that between the date of a letter from a major public organization and the postmark on the letter, there is a gap of 10-12 days. A notice that should reach seven days before a meeting should not reach seven days after the meeting.

WRITING METHODS

 WRITING METHODS



Writing is one of the effective means of communication. It is a type of verbal communication and comes with interpersonal skills to communicate ideas and thoughts in a readable form. We can use several different writing methods to make the writing more engaging and exciting and keep the audience reading until the end of the piece. The following are the main methods of writing-


1.       Inductive Method:

In the inductive method, an author moves from a particular statement to a general statement. The writer gives detailed arguments or illustrations in favour of the statement and finally makes a conclusion. The final statement contains the core ideas. It includes a topic sentence (main idea) at the end. It is one of the scientific logical techniques that scientists have been using over the year.

Examples –

  • Years Ago, scientists synthesized a so-called revolutionary product- thermocol. They didn't give a thought to its dangerous properties that would threaten the planet and its life in the future. Actually, thermocol is one of the most dangerous non-decomposable, non-recyclable polymers.  Now, it has been proven a big threat to the environment and the lives on our planet. It pollutes the environment and causes various diseases in living beings. In spite of knowing the hazardous effects, we have made it an integral part of our daily life due to its utilization in various fields like- packaging, decoration, cutlery, etc. Thermocol is just one man-made dangerous product, the list is very long. Man has created numberless dangerous and non-biodegradable polymers which have become a threat to the whole planet.
  • In a remote part of a hilly town, a big and grand school building was lying wasted and unnoticed by the local government. This school was donated by a non-profit organization ten years before. This was a purposefully built brand-new structure that would serve a large community that had no school for their children. The building was grand and it was built at the foot of the hill to avoid a polluted environment, vehicles honking and howling in the crowdy places. The opening got a huge response from local people, ministers, and the media. The politicians praised the initiative of the organization and said that it was a major development for the area and would radically change the lives of the people. It started with the ministers' fund but with the passing of time, the local government didn't care much about the school. unfortunately, due to the lack of funds the teachers left the school, other staff was also left. children used to come and go back without studying. Slowly they stopped to come to school. This big and grand school became empty and useless. Many aid projects fail because of poor planning, thereby wasting huge amounts of money.       

2.      Deductive Method:

This is the most common logical writing method used in technical communication. It involves the process of moving from a general statement to specific details. The topic sentence is usually the first sentence in the paragraph making a general statement that contains the core idea leading to supporting ideas one by one like examples, details, etc.

Examples-

Many aid projects fail because of poor planning, thereby wasting huge amounts of money. It is due to without proper planning, and the interest of the governing bodies. In a remote part of a hilly town, a big and grand school building was lying wasted and unnoticed by the local government. This school was donated by a non-profit organization ten years before. This was a purposefully built brand-new structure that would serve a large community that had no school for their children. The building was grand and it was built at the foot of the hill to avoid a polluted environment, vehicles honking and howling in the crowdy places. The opening got a huge response from local people, ministers, and the media. The politicians praised the initiative of the organization and said that it was a major development for the area and would radically change the lives of the people. It started with the ministers' fund but with the passing of time, the local government didn't care much about the school. unfortunately, due to the lack of funds, the teachers left the school, and other staff was also left. children used to come and go back without studying. Slowly they stopped to come to school. Afterward, this big and grand school became empty and useless.

3.      Spatial Method:

It is also called the order of place. It emphasizes the visual description of a particular idea, thing, or place. It includes detail related to location and direction. The description goes from inside to outside, left to right, and bottom to top. The best place to use spatial organization is in descriptions of scenes and settings, but it can also be utilized when giving instructions or directions.

Examples-

  • I have a sweet home in the new township. It has three rooms. when I enter the main gate, it has a big loan at the right and a small garage at the left. The main door enters the drawing room.   Attached to my right drawing room wall is a small brown wooden rack.  just above it, there is a big window that has snow white thick curtains. Next to it, there is a decorated brown coloured bookshelf occupied with all sorts of books. Right to the bookshelf is my desk in the right corner. A laptop, a pen stand with all sorts of pens, a few books, and a writing pad with blank sheets are giving a clumsy look on the desk. The front wall has two large paintings of modern art on either side of the door that enters the lawn.  Turning my head to the left, I see a full-length window covering almost the left wall. the white curtains are tied to both sides so a big picture of the garden can be seen through the window glass. 
  •  As I entered the room I saw a big wooden almirah at the front wall just opposite to entry door. To the left of the almirah, there was a small window. A narrow passage towards the washroom was just left to the window. The left wall has a large painting. Below the painting, an armchair was lying vacant. As I moved my eyes to the right, I saw a study table that was big enough to give place to a small book tray, a tabletop, a pen stand, a few papers, a writing pad, a few file folders, and one radio.

4.      Linear Method:

The literal meaning of the word ‘linear’ is 'in line'. In a paragraph, one sentence leads to the next one and thus the sentences move toward their goal. The linear logical pattern involves presenting ideas in a progressive way. The sentences are connected to each other logically.

Example –

  •         The pan was put on the gas stove and Meera lit the burner. Then he poured one cup of water. When it boiled she add tea leaves, sugar, and ginger to it. After one minute, she added milk to it and boiled it for I more minute. The tea was ready.
  •         Sugar is extracted from sliced sugar beets, after which juice is purified through a series of milk of lime and CO2 process steps. Then the filtered juice is evaporated and sugar is crystallized from it.

5.      Chronological Method:

It refers to the narration of events in the order in which they occur in time, beginning with the first event, going on to the next, and so on. It is quite easy and natural to record events in the order of their happening. It is mostly used in periodic reports,  historical events, incidents, routines, etc. Generally, after, next, currently, later, then, before, now, next, Finally, etc. are used.

Example –

  •  During my college days, I used to get up at 6 in the morning and study for 2 hours daily. I would enter the mess at 8:00 am without taking a bath. The college started at 9:00 am. Usually, I reached late for the first lecture. I kept sitting at my bench till 12:50 pm. After reaching the mess I finished my lunch fast and went to the hostel for a nap at 01:15 pm.
  • I was born in 1972 in the month of December. my father came to the city from his village after my birth. I was admitted to a Hindi medium school with my three brothers in 1976. I, with my brothers, studied there for the next 8 years. Then I was admitted to a girls' school. I passed my class 12th in 1989.  I got first division and moved to the next college for higher studies. I got my graduation degree in 1992 and Post graduation degree in 1994 from the same college. As I was deeply interested in fashion design, I took one year course in fashion technology and pursue my passion. In 1996, I left my job and got married. I started teaching in a primary school. I was blessed with two beautiful and pretty daughters in 1997 and 2001. I continued my teaching job till 2007 and then I moved to industry as a trainer. There I worked for two years. I got another opportunity in 2009 in an Engineering College and I worked there for 7 years. The next turning point came when I got selection as a Principal in a group of schools chain. After working as a principal for three years, I moved to my home back due to Covid in 2020. when Covid ended, I joined an institute in 2022 in my hometown and am still working in the institute. This is how I reached here. 

6.      Exposition Method:

The exposition method refers to the detail or explanation of a topic. Description, Comparison, and contrast can also be used to expose the topic. The purpose of this method is to provide information through examples and illustrations.

Example –

  •  People often think, all planets are alike, but there are actually three types of planets in the solar system. The terrestrial planets are made of rock and metal and are closest to the sun. These include the midsize planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. They rotate slowly and don’t have many moons. Farther from the sun are the planets called gas giants, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. They are called gas giants because they are formed from gases such as hydrogen and helium. Gas giants rotate fast and have many moons. Finally, planetoids are objects made up of rock and ice and are too small to be true “planets.” Planetoids sometimes even get pulled into a planet’s gravitational field and become moons themselves. Whether they are terrestrials, gas giants, or planetoids, the planets in the solar system are fascinating.

7.      Explanation Method:

This means an explanation of a central idea, a statement that makes something comprehensible by describing the relevant structure or operation or circumstances, etc. followed by the topic sentence, main idea, supporting sentences, and adequate justification.

Example –

  • Breathing is a simple process of inhaling and exhaling gases but when it reaches to lungs, oxygen from inhaled gases diffuses into blood capillaries through the alveoli and co2 from blood capillaries entered the alveoli. From there, CO2 mixes with gas in the lungs and is taken out by the process of exhaling.
  • Photosynthesis is the process of preparation of food by green plants and certain other organisms which transform light energy into chemical energy. The green plants have chloroplast, a cell organelle, which plays an important role in food preparation. Photosynthesis takes place in these tiny organelles.

  • Usually, my neighbour feeds stray animals. Every day, he gets up early and takes plenty of variety of food for them. Before a year, he was a different person. he drank a lot and kicked small animals that came in front of his gate. He also, used to shout and bully the people in neighbouthood. Nobody liked him. One day he fell ill and was confined to his room. Then a small puppy barked a lot in front of his door and dragged the attention of the people to his house. people came and took him to the hospital. his life was saved due to that small puppy. this incident changed his life. Now, that man has changed himself and now he has good relations with all the neighbours.
