Difficulties)
2. Establishing the The teacher will be showing the following images to students and will be
Purpose of the Lesson providing overview of the patterns of idea development.

Processing Questions:
1. What can you say about the
1st image?
2. What do you think are the
causes of garbage and water
pollution?
3. How about the 2nd picture,
could you describe what are
your thoughts about this
image?
4. What happens if we run out
of water?

After putting in place SOME of the examples of patterns of idea

Development, the teacher will then ask the students about the subject
discussion for today’s lesson.

As previously discussed, gather information from the students as

to what exactly the topic is all about.

Also, seek student’s prior knowledge about Idea Development,

Grammatical Signals, and Pattern of Idea Development.

3. Discussing new During classroom lecture, let the students express and give their thoughts
concepts and about Idea Development, Grammatical Signals, and Pattern of Idea

skills
Idea Development – essential in writing. Can be done by organizing ideas in a
logical and clear manner. To achieve this, it’s important that we use grammatical
signals or expressions.

Grammatical Signals – writing devices such as transitional devices, connectors,

determiners, and repetitions that are used to maintain text coherence.

Coherence establishes logical connection between ideas in sentences and

paragraphs.

Pattern of idea development – structure of writing on how the ideas are

presented.

5 Commonly used Patterns of Idea Development

1. General to Particular – Discusses issue by presenting specific details that

support the topic. This is being started by general idea stated in the topic
sentence. Then it goes to elaborate and explain through specific details and
examples. This pattern is considered as deductive method of organization.
 Examples of Grammatical Signals being used

specifically for instance on the other hand

with that/this being example of this on one hand
said
also first, second, third, etc. in addition
for example next

2. Cause and Effect – Explains that causes or the effects of something.

When explaining the reasons, it explains the cause. When explaining the
result, it explains the effect.

Examples of Grammatical Signals being used Cause

if because result from

for owing to one cause
since
Effect because of due to
so then in effect leads to
thus therefore as consequence one of the effect
is
hence as a result consequently that is why

3. Claim & Counterclaim - refers to the structure of presenting a side of an

issue in an argumentative manner. It is the writer’s stand on a topic
supported by evidences and logical reasoning. Also, the writer presents the
counterclaim or the opposite stand of an issue to disprove it through
evidence and logical reasoning.

Examples of Grammatical Signals being used

however even though even if

according to likely Probably
imagine perhaps seem

4. Problem/Solution – identifies a problem and address it by

presenting one or more solutions. Problems are unsatisfactory
situations that cause trouble or difficulties. A solution refers to the
ways in solving or minimizing the problem.

Examples of Grammatical Signals being used

this problem one way to solve this another solution

because cause as a result
in order to as a solution and so that

5. Persuasion – intends to convince the readers to do or believe in

something. It allows the writer to express his or her personal viewpoints
about a topic to convince the readers. This pattern of idea development
is based on opinions and emotions.

Examples of Grammatical Signals being used

come necessary help proven

free latest best trusted
must hurry better create
urgent avail now I believe I urge
must not join great come along
B. DEVELOPMENT
4.Developing Mastery The teacher will now be showing 8 sentences containing blank and 8
grammatical signals and will be asking students to fill the blank with the 5
Patterns of Idea Development that has earlier been discussed.

1. Filipinos are known to be good in English, according to research.

2. As it comes with free ice tea drink and french fries, avail now.
3. Garbage is one of our main problems we have and one way to solve this, is

C. ENGAGEMENT
5.Application
GROUP ACTIVITY

1.The teacher will be asking the students to go to their respective group.

2. The teacher will then ask the leader/representative to pick one from the 5
Patterns of Idea Development and create a paragraph with at least 5 sentences
using the corresponding grammatical signals.
3. All groups will b e given 10 minutes to
write their own paragraph.
4. Each group must choose their best representative and shall be given 2
minutes to present.

Peer feedback will be noted and recognized. Then, each group leader will
evaluate their members based on their effort and contribution specified in a
rubric for individual participation (will be given after class).
