D. Presentation and Pattern of idea development The learners listened

Development of the refers to the structure of writing on attentively.
Lesson how the ideas are being
presented. Five of the commonly
used patterns of idea
development are discussed in this
module. These are the general to
particular, cause and effect, claim-
counterclaim, problem-solution,
and persuasion. Let us explore
them and their appropriate
grammatical signals

A. 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. In
other words, general to particular
pattern is a deductive method of
organization.

Example:
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.

also, for example, as an

example, in addition, in
addition to, for instance,
examples of these, first,
second, third, next, on one
hand, and on the other hand.

B. 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.

Example:
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.

Cause: if, for, since, due to,

because, owing to, because
of, one cause, and resulting
from

Effect: so, thus, hence, then,

therefore, as a result, in
effect, as consequence,
consequently, leads to, one
of the effects is, and that is
why

C. Claim and Counterclaim

This pattern of idea development
refers to the structure of
presenting a side of an issue in an
argumentative manner. A claim is
the writer’s stand on a topic
supported by evidences and
logical reasoning. Also, the writer
presents the counterclaim or the
opposite stand of an issue to
disprove it through evidences and
logical reasoning.

Example:
People believe that rock music
can make teenagers rebellious
because of its lyrics but, I don’t
think it is enough to make them go
against society. They say rock
music concentrates mostly on
antisocial subjects which influence
teenagers’ view toward society.
However, a study shows that an
average teenager would not take
the music seriously, for he or she
concentrates more on the musical
value of the song rather than the
inner meaning of the lyrics. Thus,
even though the lyrics in rock
music show social rebellion, it
does not make teenagers rebel
against society.

D. Problem-Solution

Here are the other transitional

devices that can be used for
claim-counterclaim pattern of
idea development:

however, nevertheless, on
one hand, on the other hand,
admittedly, some people say,
some may say, of course,
nevertheless, and but not only
that.

This pattern of idea development

is used when a writer identifies a
problem and addresses it by
presenting one or more solutions.
A problem refers to the
unsatisfactory situation that
causes troubles or difficulties. A
solution on the other hand, refers
to the ways in solving or
minimizing the problem.

Example:
Drug abuse is one of the leading
social issues in many countries.
This problem has been the cause
of many crimes and health
concerns. However, the threat of
prohibited drugs can be fought.
One way to solve this is through
education. Everyone needs to be
educated about the dangers of
using prohibited drugs. People
need to be aware of the harmful
effects of these drugs to their
health, family, career, and society.
Another solution is to increase
police manpower and create
effective laws to stop dealers. If
the authorities will strictly impose
these laws, this problem will be
addressed. Drug abuse is a
threat, but if the community and
the government will act together,
this problem will be controlled.

E. Persuasion

Here are the grammatical

signals to be used for
problem-solution pattern of
idea development:

because, cause, since, as a

result, in order to, and so that,
as a solution, and one way

This pattern of idea development

intends to convince the readers to
do or believe in something. It
allows the writer to express his or
her personal viewpoints about a
topic to convince the readers. This
pattern of idea development is
based on opinions and emotions.
Below are the grammatical signals
to be used in persuasive pattern
of idea development.

Example:
A school bazaar is something you
don’t want to miss! Aside from the
wonderful experience, attending it
is truly a great help. First, a school
bazaar is filled with fun activities.
There are amusing games, great
rides, and entertaining attractions!
Besides that, your ticket purchase
will help the school. Not only that,
but it also gives you a chance to
win fabulous prizes. So, what are
you waiting for? Join now and
experience the fun!
 Here are some of the other
grammatical signals and
expressions of persuasion:
come, free, need, must, must
not, necessary, latest, hurry,
join, help, best, better, great,
proven, trusted, create, come
along, urgent, amazing
experience, avail now, I
believe, I urge, don't miss, can
do it, and one of a kind.

help structure writing effectively.
The **general to particular**
pattern starts with a broad topic
and then provides specific details
to support it, like explaining
different types of clouds. The
**cause and effect** pattern
discuss reasons for something or
its outcomes, such as the health
benefits of regular exercise. The
**claim and counterclaim** pattern
present an argument by stating a
claim and then addressing
opposing viewpoints, like the
belief that rock music makes
teenagers rebellious, while
showing evidence that they focus
more on the music itself. The
**problem-solution** pattern
identifies an issue, such as drug
abuse, and suggests ways to
tackle it, like education and law
enforcement. Lastly, the
**persuasion** pattern aims to
convince readers to believe or act
on something, using emotional
appeals, like promoting a school
bazaar by highlighting its fun
activities and benefits. Each of
these patterns uses specific
grammatical signals to ensure
clear and coherent writing.
