PATTERNS OF DEVELOPMENT IN WRITING
Cause and Effect
-Details why something happens, what causes it, what are the effects and how it is
related to something else.
EXAMPLE:
Alyssa made a rude comment, so Irish hit her.

Classification and Division


-Groups items into their parts or types
EXAMPLE:
Although friendship is something that most people enjoy, friendships are not all the
same. Some friendships are forged from a long-term familiarity with one another, and
other friendships can spring up just by spending one fun evening together. Not all
friendships result in daily or even weekly time spent together; long-term friendships can
be kept afloat using communication tools like the Internet and telephone, while other
friendships result in sporadic get-togethers sometimes months or even years apart.
People seek different things in friendship, meaning certain friendships result around
trips to a diner or video games while other friendships may occur due to a work
relationship or general common interests.

Compare and Contrast


-Tells how something is like other things or how something is different from other things.
EXAMPLE:
Dogs, however, cuddle easily and frequently. Finally, a major difference between dogs
and cats is the sounds that each produces. A dog will growl, bark, whimper, and woof,
while a cat meows, purrs, and hisses. Though there are many similarities, the
differences between dogs and cats make each a unique animal.

Definition
-Explains what something is in comparison to other members of its class, along with any
limitations.
EXAMPLE:
Draftsman is a person who draws plans and sketches.

Description
- Details what something looks like and its characteristics.
EXAMPLE:
My mom’s smile is like a star that glitters in the night sky.

Exemplification
Provides typical cases or examples of something.
EXAMPLE:
Glaciers melting can lead to water shortages, Climate change causes severe weather,
like hurricanes and heat waves and changing ecosystem can lead to species extinction.
In other words, Global warming is dangerous considering the following examples of the
effects of it.

Narration
- Describes what, when, and where something happened.
EXAMPLE:
It was Oct 9, 2019, and Irish awoke with a start. It was the day she would get ready for
her boyfriend’s birthday named Stan Lee. Her journey for planning a surprise birthday
party for her boyfriend’s birthday had begun several days earlier, when on July Oct 6 th,
she begun to planned on what to do and what to buy for the party. Of course, with the
help of her squad, Alyssa, Marian and Tricia. The squad successfully made the party
successful. Upon their success to make the surprise party successful, Stan Lee
shouted, “This is the best Birthday ever!”.

Persuasion
-Describes an issue and your position or opinion on the subject.
EXAMPLE:
Stem Aliens Chips are the crispiest, crunchiest, and most delicious brand of chips you
will ever taste. Buy a bag today.
Process
-Explains how something happened, how it works or how it is made.
EXAMPLE:

How to Be A Good Friend


To be a good friend, an individual has to spend time working on her friendships, or they
will eventually fade. When two people first meet, they both need to be sure they are
acting in good manor, so they don’t scare the other away. After they meet and start
talking a few times, they will start getting to know each other, calling each other, and
spending more time with each other. That is how a friendship begins. After they call
each other “friends”, the friendship has to be made through the effort of more than just
one person, so each has to do her own part. Friendships shouldn’t take a lot of money
but they do take a lot of time and care. Friends should always listen to what the other
has to say, and then should give advice only when asked for it. No matter how much
friends are alike, everyone has differences, so a friend should be able to accept their
differences. After being a friend to a person for a long period of time, one might get tired
of hearing repeated problems every day, but a good friend will always be there for her
friend no matter what.
