In addition to the “universal” categories, we’ll add…
B
SWA                                                            
SA                                                              
EA                                                              
R4E                                                             
GEOGRAPHIC AREAS
Southwest Asia = SWA
South Asia = SA
East Asia = EA
SPECIFIC PROMPT
Codes of behavior = B
Nature and reason for existence = R4E
We know what to look for in the documents, now we determine how they are linked.
Your Table
Preparation
You may either have students develop a table in their notebook, or you can use the blank table that appears as a handout at the end of the presentation.

Dialogue
Here is what an organizational table might look like. The “universals” are document number, needed information, point of view, and the major concept or important point from the document. Now let’s make some short codes for the requirements of the question…
*Regions or geographic areas: Let’s use “SWA” *for southwest Asia, “SA” *for south Asia, and “EA” *for east Asia*.

The question also asks for “codes of behavior”*—let’s use “B” for this—and for nature and reason for existence*—let’s use R4E* for this.
Here’s what our table or chart looks like. Now we need to analyze and group the documents.*
