Lesson 4 - Patterns of Development

Patterns of Development

Patterns of development refers to the logical arrangement of ideas that helps you
to follow ideas easily and understand a text better. It distinguishes the major details
from minor ones and predict ideas.

Kinds of Pattern

Narration is the most basic pattern of development. It describes how, when, and
where and event or occurrence actually happened. It also used to tell a story or
focus on a set of related events.

This pattern explains the information through the use of illustrations, examples,
and descriptions. Using definition to develop an idea helps to clarify and explain concepts
by answering the question "What does it mean?"
Varieties of Definition:

1. Scientific Definition - defines concepts in the most factual way, which is often
used in scientific, proper, or real world facts

2. Subjective Definition - defines the object in a more personal way and usually
derived from the author's own experiences and opinions
A classification pattern organizes ideas into categories or divisions based on
criteria and standards. This pattern can be used when classifying
people, objects, events, things, places, and other items.

An exemplification pattern presents the main idea in a general statement and then
provides specific and concrete examples to expound on it.
Comparison and Contrast

A comparison and contrast pattern organizes ideas on how events, places,


people, things, and concepts are similar to or different from one another.

There are two ways on how ideas can be arranged: separately, which involves
describing one item first followed by the second item; or side-by-side, which means
discussing both items based on each point of comparison.

A problem-solution pattern organizes ideas into problems and proposed solutions.

The problem section usually includes the what, who, when, where, and how of the
problem. The solution section then presents the major effects of the problem, the
possible solutions to address it, and the steps in implementing the soultions.
Cause and Effect

A cause and effect pattern organizes details based on the cause, the reason, and
the result or consequences of a certain phenomenon. This pattern may discuss the
causes only, the effects only, or both.

Persuasion

A persuasion pattern organizes ideas to show how a set of evidence leads to a


logical conclusion or argument.

Specifically, this pattern presents the issue, the position, and the supporting
evidence that supports the position. Make sure to check these three essential
elements while reading a persuasion text.
