Parallel structure

Parallel structure

See whether each section or online category can be structured in the same way. This makes it very easy for the audience to find their way. For example, in a report discussing how different groups (government, manufacturers, office-based companies, community groups, educational institutions) might approach recycling, each group could be a section heading, and then the same structure would be used in each section for subsections: ‘General principles’, ‘Getting started’, ‘Personnel involved’, ‘Actions for management’, ‘Actions for individuals’, ‘Potential impact’, ‘Monitoring’.
