Patterns of Development
in Writing

Writing needs direction before your ideas slip away


Let these patterns in writing help you, if they may

If you tell a story of what happened, narration is the way


Description is when large, sweet or soft are words you say

If you tell the meaning of a concept, term or subject


And explain what something is, definition is what you expect

18
Patterns of Development
in Writing
Put items related in categories or groups in any way,
Classification is definitely the game you play

Stating the reason and result, that’s cause and effect


You want to convince readers? Persuasion is perfect

When there’s an issue or problem and a solution is made today


Obviously, problem- solution pattern is on display

19
Patterns of Development
in Writing

If similarities and differences are the ideas you collect


then comparison and contrast pattern is what you reflect

These are the patterns of developing the thoughts in your head


Remember that to achieve a particular purpose in the end,
information in a written text may be organized and selected

20
1. CAUSE AND EFFECT

• It tells why something happens


and what happens after. It
explains how an incident or
action produces results. It is
fitting for argumentation,
explanation or narration.

• The writer may begin from the


cause, followed by the effect
or from the effect, followed by
the cause.

21
2. COMPARISON AND CONTRAST

• This presents how a thing,


person or a certain subject
is similar or different from
another.
• It is concerned with how
alike (compare) or unlike
(contrast) someone or
something is from someone
or something else.

22
3. DEFINITION

• It gives the meaning of an


idea, concept or word
and may specify certain
limits of
• its meaning. This is
commonly used in writing
scientific research or term
papers.

23
4. DESCRIPTION

• This pattern aims to create


a picture in the minds of the
reader by using adjectives
and words that appeal to
the senses.
• Its purpose is to help the
readers imagine what the
writer saw, heard, smelled,
tasted, felt or experienced.

24
5. CLASSIFICATION

• This is done by noting


relationships among
things.
• Particular items are
placed in categories that
distinguish them from the
other groups of kinds
based on certain
principles or bases.
25
6. NARRATION

• It presents logically- arranged events


which should also describe what
happened
• and when, where, how and why
something occurred. This is usually told
with
• action words. It should appeal to
readers’ feelings and understanding.
Events are
• organized according to time or
chronology so transitional devices used
are usually
• first, second, next, then, finally and
others that denote time

26
7. PERSUASION

• The intention of this


pattern is to convince or
influence the reader to
do or believe in a certain
idea or perception.

27
8. PROBLEM-SOLUTION

• This pattern identifies an issue or


a problem and posts a
suggested solution to solve it.
• It may be compared to cause
and effect pattern.

• It is different because it presents


a solution to the problem while
cause and effect just provides
the effects of the problem.
