What I Know What I Want to What I Learned


Know
Objectives: By the end of this
module students should be able
to:

• identify common patterns of


development used in written
works.

• use common patterns of


development effectively in their
own writing.
When you want to write, it is very
significant to know first your primary
purpose because it will help you to
determine the patterns of
development in writing to be utilized.
The eight patterns of development
are:

1. Cause-Effect
2. Classification
3. Comparison-Contrast
4. Definition
5. Description
6. Narration
7. Persuasion
8. Problem-Solution
Cause and
Effect
A cause and effect present why something happens, what causes it, what are
the effects, and how it is related to something else. It is a relationship between
an action and a reaction where an action if taken, would result in a reaction.
cause is a reason action or condition that brings an effect
effect is something that follows an antecedent; result

A cause of, because of, for, due to, as, and since are cue words to signify a
cause. On the other hand, some expressions that signify effect are, therefore,
consequently, so, so that, thus, the explanation for, and accordingly.
●Example: KIDS WHO ARE BULLIED
●Kids who are bullied can experience negative physical, social,
emotional, academic, and mental health issues. Kids who are bullied
are more likely to experience:
• Depression and anxiety, increased feelings of sadness and loneliness,
changes in sleep and eating patterns, and loss of interest in activities they
used to enjoy. These issues may persist into adulthood.
• Health complaints
• Decreased academic achievement—GPA and standardized test scores—and
school participation. They are more likely to miss, skip, or drop out of school.
Classifica
tion
Most people love to classify and divide things according to their group,
kind, part, or type. Even a person’s economic status is classified
according to his/her family’s net worth or income either monthly,
quarterly, or annually.

A classification pattern of written text groups or classifies items or


things into their parts, types, kinds, or categories.

The signal words to indicate that the classification pattern of written


text is used are a part of, a kind of, a group of, a way of, a class of, an
example of, divided into, and comprised of.
Comparison and
Contrast
The comparison involves the identification of similarities of at least
two things, ideas, concepts, or persons being compared while
contrast encompasses the identification of differences between or
among two subjects or topics.

To help you in making a comparison and contrast, signal words such


as similarly, in like manner, and in the same way present similarities
or comparison while expressions like on the contrary, the opposite,
compared to, in contrast, although, unless, however, signify
differences or contrast.
ONLINE VS. CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION (AN EXCERPT) BY KORI
MORGAN

...As universities make greater use of Internet resources, online


classes have continued to grow in popularity and effectiveness. Online
courses let students learn at their own pace, accomplish assignments
on their schedules, and acquire the same knowledge as they would in
a traditional, classroom-based course. Just like traditional classes,
online instructors use discussion, assignments, and community to
educate students. However, their means of execution for these tools
are quite different.
Definitio
n
● Definition text explains what something is in comparison to other
members of its class, along with any limitations. It explains the nature
of something and moves beyond a dictionary definition to deeply
examine the word, idea, or concept as we use and understand it. It
expounds the word, concept, or idea so that the reader.

● In dealing with definition as a pattern of written text, you will


always encounter denotation and connotation.
Definitio
n
D enotation is the literal meaning of a word
consulting the dictionary is the best way for it.
which means that

Connotation is the feeling or idea that the word suggests to its literal
meaning. It is an expression of how one perceives a word based on
his/her background or experiences.
Some expressions that signal a definition text are: contain, make-up,
involves, is/are, means, is defined as, refers to, appears to be, as, and
pertains to. When phrases like “because” or “that are” follow a word,
these may be explanations. Meanwhile, definitions may follow an
unfamiliar word. Terms like “is,” “means,” “is defined as,” and “refers
to” are used with definitions.
Descriptio
n
Description as a pattern of written texts refers to identifying
concrete details about appearances, characteristics, and actions.

● Adjectives and adverbs are abundant in descriptive texts.

● Adjectives are used to denote quality, to indicate quantity or


extent, or to specify a thing as distinct from something else,

● Adverbs used to modify verb, adjectives, or another adverb can


be used to signal description.
Narration
● Deals with stories. When you write a narrative, you are expected to
tell a story, whether it is real or imaginary. You use your creativity and
imagination on how are you going to bring your characters to life in
the minds of your readers.

● Writing a story is not only about how you vividly described your
characters, how you amazingly knitted your plot, how you have
perfectly chosen your settings, how you flawlessly showcased your
tone and style of writing but it is also about how you sincerely touched
your readers’ hearts and how you effectively made a difference in
their lives.
PROBLEM-
SOLUTION
● A problem-solution text starts with a negative situation (a
problem) and ends with a positive situation (a solution). They are in
some ways similar to cause-effect in terms of structure.

● Problem-Solution consists of four key components:


●a situation,
●a problem,
●a solution,
●and an evaluation.
PROBLEM-
•SOLUTION
Situation: Identify the problem and explain why it is a problem and who
should be responsible for it.
• Problem: Explain the problem clearly.
• Solution: Cite concrete solutions to the problem. Explain why it should be
considered and why it is the best solution to the problem. You may also
present series of steps or actions to be followed.
• Evaluation: It is a part of the conclusion in which you have to highlight the
problem and the value of your solution. Some key expressions that indicate a
problem-solution text are: the problem/dilemma is, if/then, so that, solves, an
answer to, and addresses the problem of.
PERSUASI
ON
● Persuasion is a literary technique that writers use to present their
ideas through reason and logic, to influence the audience. Persuasion
may simply use an argument to persuade the readers, or sometimes
may persuade readers to perform a certain action. Simply, it is an art
of effective speaking and writing in which writers make their opinions
believable to the audience through logic, by invoking emotions, and
by proving their credibility.
●Campaign Speech, November 3, 2008 (By Barack Obama)
Barack Obama made a public speech a night before his election
campaign in Virginia on November 3, 2008, saying:

“This country is more decent than one where a woman in Ohio,


on the brink of retirement, finds herself one illness away from disaster
after a lifetime of hard work…This country is more generous than one
where a man in Indiana has to pack up the equipment, he’s worked on
for twenty years and watch it shipped off to China… We are more
compassionate than a government that lets veterans sleep on our
streets and families slide into poverty; that sits on its hands while a
major American city drowns before our eyes…”

This emotional speech plays on people’s sense of guilt, making


it a good example of pathos. Although Obama employs the snob appeal
fallacy in his argument, it is a very influential and emotional appeal.
