Eliza is writing an essay describing a family vacation in a cottage in Maine. To organize the supporting details she decides to describe the experience of entering the cottage moving through the front room, to her bedroom, and the view of the beach from the back porch. Which method of organization is she using? A. Most-to-least B. Least-to-most C. Spatial D. Chronological

In her essay describing her experiences during her family vacation to a cottage in Maine, Eliza is using spatial organization. When a writer uses the spatial organization method in a descriptive essay, he or she is focusing her description entirely upon a description of the location. She is not focusing on what is the least or most important aspects of the place she is describing, not is she describing events in the chronological order in which they occurred.
