Identifying Passage Organization
　　The information in a passage can be organized in different ways. It can be arranged in sequence of time, space, importance, etc. It can also be organized by comparison and contrast or cause and effect. Sometimes a passage has more than one type of organization. Often the signal words will point out the type of organization.
　　In reading, if you understand how the author organizes information, you can use that organization to help you locate information and decide what is important to learn about the information.

　　Christopher set out to prove the doctors wrong. First of all, he wanted to breathe on his own. Five months after the accident, he asked to be taken off the respirator. He managed just 10 feeble breaths before being reconnected to the breathing tube. Refusing to be discouraged, Christopher took a few more breaths the next day. By the fourth day, he was able to breathe seven minutes without assistance. After three months, he could sustain himself for 90 minutes at a time. By the end of 1995, he was able to go home.
