a. Chronological order
It is used if the specific purpose is to explain the history, event, or evolution of
the subject. Chronological order involves a time sequence. In this approach, the
order matters a great deal. We use chronological order if putting things in place
by time will help to make our paper/speech clearer to our readers/audience.
For example:
Draft / Mind Mapping for a speech about UMY Charity Concert

UMY Charity
Concert

The Actual
The Creation of The Planning Performance/The The Donation
The Event Stage Process
Concert

b. Spatial order
It is used if the specific purpose is to describe the main features of the subject.
Spatial order is about location and direction. This involves such terms as
up/down, left/right, top/bottom, north, south, etc. This is a highly descriptive
order that allows the audience to have a first-hand experience of what the
writer/speaker is sharing. For example, if we are speaking/writing about a city,
we might divide the main points by geographic regions such as North, South,
East, and West.

For example:
Draft / Mind Mapping for a speech about Special Region of Yogyakarta

Special Region
of Yogyakarta

Northern Part Southern Part Eastern Part Western Part

District of Mount Merapi District of Parangtritis
Sleman Bantul Beach

c. Topical order
Commonly, the speeches about objects will use topical order. Topical order
involves taking the topic of our speech and dividing it into several subtopics.
The subtopics are related to the topic as they come from it.
