Patterns of Development in Writing

What’s In:
Reflect on what you have learned in Lesson 1.
Why is it important to carefully select and organize
information whenever you are writing?

2
As a writer, it is important to arrange your ideas in a text
according to your purpose in writing. Are you narrating an
event, showing cause and effect, defining a term or
comparing or contrasting items? Your purpose suggests a
method of organization or logical arrangement known as
the pattern of development. It could be a way of logically
organizing the whole text or a just an
individual paragraph

What’s New

3
What Is It
There are different patterns
by which ideas are
developed. Some of the
major ones are discussed
below:
4
Narration

refers to a sequential telling of a story or


recounting of a series of events

5
Definition

Explains an idea, term or phrase using


distinguishing characteristics or synonyms. It is
used to set working generalizations that help
control the meaning and scope of important
terms or ideas (Perelman, et al., n.d.)

6
Description

similar with narration for having many specific


details, description “emphasizes the senses by
painting a picture of how something looks,
sounds, smells, tastes, or feels. Description is
often used to establish a mood or atmosphere”
(Bedford, Freeman and Worth, 2019, p.2).

7
Comparison and Contrast

compares two things to highlight their subtle


similarities and differences. The author's intent
is to describe a connection between two things
by showing their distinguishing andshared
attributes (Bohaty, 2015).

8
Sequence

describes steps, events, processes, or


procedures. There are three types of Sequence:
steps, timeline, and cycle. Regardless of the
type, the author is putting information in an
order (Bohaty, 2015, p. 40).

9
Cause and Effect
shows the linkage of causation – how events
are
influenced or caused by another. “The author's
intent is to tell us how an event always leads to
an outcome. The event is the cause and the
outcome is the result. The relationship is
between the cause and the effect” (Bohaty,
2015, p. 40)

10
Problem and Solution

divides information into two main sections, one


that describes a problem and one that describes a
solution. Here, the author’s intent is to discuss or
propose a solution to a problem. The relationship
between the problem and the solution is explored
(Bohaty, 2015).

11
What I Can Do

“ Why is it important for students


to learn how to comprehend and
write according to text structure/
pattern of development?

12
Assessment
