 Idea development is the organization of ideas in a logical and clear
manner that suits the writer’s purpose.
 Grammatical signals are writing devices such as transitional devices,
connectors, determiners, and repetitions that are used to maintain text
coherence.
 Pattern of idea development refers to the structure of writing on how the
ideas are being presented.
1. General to Particular
This pattern of idea development discusses the general topic by
presenting specific details that support the topic. The writer starts with
the general idea stated in the topic sentence. Then, it is elaborated and
explained through specific details and examples.

Examples:
a. The human body is a complex machine, but even the tiniest cells
play a vital role. Red blood cells, for example, are responsible for
transporting oxygen throughout the body.
b. Science, through meticulous observation and experimentation, has
unlocked many secrets of the universe. For instance, astronomers
have discovered billions of galaxies beyond our own Milky Way.

Activity 1: Try this!

Directions: Identify the general and specific statements in the paragraph below, then
determine the grammatical signals used.

Clouds can be classified into three major groups. High clouds are a group of
clouds that are 5-13 km. away from the Earth’s surface. Examples of these clouds are
known as Cirrus, Cirrostratus, and Cirrocumulus. Middle clouds are another group of
clouds that are 2-7 km. away from the Earth’s surface. Examples of middle clouds are
Altocumulus and Altostratus. Low clouds are the last group of clouds. They are 2 km.
away from the Earth’s surface. Specifically, these clouds are the Stratus,
Stratocumulus, and Nimbostratus. With these being said, these clouds are grouped
according to their distance from the Earth’s surface.

E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #2

2. Cause and Effect

This pattern of idea development explains the causes or the effects of
something. When a writer presents reasons, he or she is explaining the
causes. When a writer explains the results, he or she is explaining the
effects.

Examples:
a. The average temperature on Earth is on the rise due to the
greenhouse effect trapping heat from the sun.
b. If pertussis is left untreated in infants, it can cause serious
complications like pneumonia, seizures, and even death.

Activity: Identifying Signals

Directions: Identify the cause and effect in the paragraph below, then determine the
grammatical signals used.

Regular exercise brings many benefits to your health. First, it improves blood
circulation and can result to a strong heart. Because of these, it reduces the risk of heart
disease, high cholesterol, and diabetes. When you exercise, your bones and muscles
will be strengthened which can slow down the loss of bone density that comes when
you age. As a result, it can help you maintain or increase your muscle mass and
strength. Also, regular exercise improves your mental health and mood. During an
exercise, your body releases chemicals that can improve your mood and make you feel
more relaxed. As an effect, it can help you deal with stress and reduce your risk of
depression. These are the benefits that you get when you exercise.

E. Developing mastery

Activity: Connecting Ideas
