I.OBJECTIVES

A. Learning Competencies/Objectives:

At the end of the 60-minute lesson students are expected to:

• Identify the basic parts of exemplification and classification;

• Determine the differences between exemplication and classification; and

• Create a paragraph using exemplication and classification as a pattern of

paragraph development.

II. SUBJECT MATTER

A. Topic: Patterns of Paragraph Development

B. Reference: Quarter 2/Module 2

C. Material: Visual Aid Presentation

D. Visual Aid Materials: Manila paper, tape, marker, cartolins, chalk

III.Learning Procedure

A. Preliminary Activities

 Prayer
 Checking of Attendance
 Greetings
 Classroom Management
 Review of the Previous Topic
1. What was the last topic that we have discussed?

In the previous part, you have learned the differences between and
among narrative, descriptive, and definition paragraphs. Now, you will
familiarize yourself with two of the most common patterns of
paragraph development – exemplification and classification.

 Motivation:
 The teacher will show the words PLANETS and CONSTELLATIONS.
 Teacher ask students to give an examples about PLANETS and
CONSTELLATIONS.

things relational body or

• Embarrassing someone in public
 • Hitting/kicking/pinching
• Spitting
• Tripping/pushing
• Taking or breaking someone’s things
• Making mean or rude hand gestures

As you unravel the unique patterns of development in writing

exemplification and classification paragraphs and how to incorporate them
in your own writing, you must first begin to learn how to identify the basic
parts of these patterns– topic sentence, classifications (types, categories),
examples (illustrations) and transitional expressions. These can be used in
writing other papers with different purposes other than telling a story,
describing something or defining a concept.

Direction:Read the passage carefully. Once finished, copy on a separate

sheet and fill out the table with the appropriate words that match the
headings below:

our health. For instance, a person may acquire skin problems and other deformities from
the toxic wastes present in the land that we live in such as garbage, pesticides, heavy
metals and other chemicals. Air pollution caused by toxic gases, solid and liquid particles
or aerosols, and other hazardous air pollutants adversely contaminate the air that we
breathe. Long-term exposure to air pollutants has been linked with diseases of the heart
and lungs, cancers and other health problems. Lastly, water pollution observed in our
primary water sources like oceans, rivers, and lakes is caused by the presence of
industrial wastes, sewage and waste waters, chemical fertilizers and pesticides to be
specific. Infectious diseases can be acquired through contaminated water and can cause
Topic Sentence: cholera, jaundice, liver damage and stomach illness in people.

b. Analysis
 The teacher will then ask the following questions:
1. How can you say that the words and phrases that you
have just written all exemplify that of the (a) topic
sentence, (b) classification, (c) examples and d)
transition words?

 The teacher will then introduce what is a EXEMPLIFICATION AND

CLASSIFICATION to the class and explain it further.

c. Abstract
What is It
Example:
1. Waste material, such as old rags, cotton waste, paper, etc. should be moved from
the serving area.

“old rags”, “cotton waste”, and “paper” are examples of waste materials.
2. Many proverbs exhibit special proverbial structures which no normal grammar
would describe as complete grammatical sentences. We find for instance: Like
father, like son, Better late than never.

“Like father, like son” and “Better late than never” are examples of proverbs which have a ‘special
proverbial structure’.

EXEMPLIFICATION is the most common and effective pattern to explain an idea

or point. In developing this kind of paragraph, the writer develops a general
statement –the topic sentence, with one or more examples to support it.

Here are some transitional expressions in writing effective exemplification

paragraphs: for instance, namely, to be specify, to clarify, to illustrate, for example,
in short, as an example.

On the other hand, CLASSIFICATION is used when a writer needs to sort out or
arrange subjects to groups or categories based on their common and shared
characteristics. A classification pattern of written text groups or classifies items or
things into their parts, types, kinds, or categories.
 Here are some transitional expressions in writing effective classification paragraphs:
classified as, one kind, the last group, another kind, another, final type, the first
category, are categorized as, the next part.

Remember that you can use both exemplification and classification in developing a
paragraph by simply identifying categories on a particular subject and providing
examples or illustration to explain and clarify meaning.

d. Application
A farmer who decides to concentrate on viable products can choose from four
general types of plants: edible, ornamental, raw-material, or shade. Edible plants
include grains like rice and corn, fruits like santol and mango, vegetables such as
pechay or cabbage, or spices like pepper. On the other hand, ornamentals are all
kinds of flowering and non-flowering plants used for decoration and landscaping.
There are also plants that provide raw materials for other products. Examples of
these types are rubber, palm, abaca, maguey, and ramie. The coconut may also
belong to this type although the fruit is edible. The last are shade trees, grown
primarily to reforest barren areas of mountains. However, some of them are used as
ornamentals. Ipil-ipil and narra are the most common shade trees. All these types
of plants can be grown profitably, depending upon the soil and climate found in the
area.

Transitional
Expressions:

 Read the excerpt that follows. After reading it, make

a short paragraph that has the same pattern of
development. Be able to employ transitional
expressions to make it effective.

An Excerpt from Appassionato

“Passion is visceral. It stands outside traditional thinking. It ignores

conventions like distance, time, and social acceptance. It dares into
uncharted waters. It is used to be primarily associated with romantic
love. Today, thanks to authors like Tom Peters and Nancy Austin (A
Passion for Excellence), passion’s boundaries have been extended to
embrace work, entrepreneurial endeavors, corporate success.”

IV. Evaluation
Reflect on what you have learned today by completing the diagram below,
use a separate sheet for your answer.
