The Warnier-Orr Diagram for Designing Essays

Henry R. Harrington University of Montana ; Richard E. Walton University of Montana

Abstract

The Warnier-Orr diagram, a method of designing computer programs, may be adapted for use in designing expository essays. Unlike the traditional outline, it gives equal weight to inclusive and serial relationships between ideas. Used in place of the outline, it clarifies, logically and rhetorically, the development and the organization of ideas in expository essays.
