PATTERNS OF DEVELOPMENT

Patterns of development help us sort out information and shape paragraphs or essays.

Narration

➤Narration, from the root word narrates, originated from the Latin word narrare- which means related
or told. ➤It gives a written account of an event or story, or simply, storytelling. The sequence of events
is told in

chronological order.

➤It usually contains the following: the who, what and when.

►A narrative must have “vivid“ description of details, a consistent point of

view and verb tense, and a well-defined point or significance." (Tiongson,

2016).

➤At the end of writing it, it must send a clear message to its readers through the story.
