01.
Narrative
Narrative

Tells a story Main goal is


to entertain
Includes elements such as
characters, settings,
problem, resolution, etc.
Example
I still remember the first and only time I traveled long distance on
a train. My best friend invited me to spend the summer vacation
with her in Bicol despite my father’s misgivings about the trip
because he believed that it is a dangerous place. After much
assurance from my friend, he hesitantly permitted me to go to
Bicol. My friend and I took the night trip and settled on the
economy. I was looking forward to my first train ride, but I was
not ready for the surprise that greeted me as soon as I took my
seat. The moment I sat down, I felt that it was going to be a
bumpy ride and it really was. As there were too many people on
the economy, the noise became more intolerable aside from the
train’s engine.
02.
Description!
Information
describing a
scene, person,
or object.
General structure is
a list of attributes or
facts, uses adjectives.
Example

I have this Goldilock’s bear-like stuffed toy I love dearly. Her


name is Athena which my Uncle Mike gave me on my fourth
birthday. During that time, bears were so popular, so I always
have her with me everywhere I go. She is a 19 pink-bulky bear
that stands just like a two-year-old kid. She has this thick, funny
skin that makes her look a bit odd; but she has a white satin
band ribboned on her crest that I can change from one color to
another depending on the occasion. Moreover, she owns this
funny big round eyes and cute little nose. Athena wears a white
satin princess-cut dress with pink lace lining I always dream of
wearing someday.
03. Definition
Definition gives
the meaning of a
term or concept.
Definition can be used to

Provide an
interpretation of a Define a new or an
vague, controversial unusual term
or misunderstood
term Entertain by presenting
the interesting history,
uses, effects, or examples
Explain an abstract of a common word or
concept expression
A good definition should include:

1. The term or the word being defined;


2. The class or group to which the term belongs; and,
3. The differentiating features or what makes it different
with the others from the same class.
Example!
Overshare is an act of divulging
excessive personal information, as
in a blog or broadcast interview,
prompting reactions ranging from
alarmed discomfort to approval.
Comparison
04. and
Contrast
Describes how two or more
events, places, characters, or other
ideas may be similar and/or
different in multiple ways.
A comparison shows how two
subjects are similar; a contrast shows
how two subjects are different. People
compare and contrast in both writing
and life.

Comparisons serve two purposes: to


explain differences between subjects
or to persuade readers that one subject
is superior to others.
Example
Mosquitoes and houseflies differ in appearance and habits,
but the two insects share many similarities. First, both are
typical of hot, humid climates. Both insects suck their
food. Houseflies suck their food from various sources
while mosquitoes suck blood from animals and people.
Both insects can cling to smooth surfaces and even walk
upside down across ceilings. Finally, both can spread
serious diseases. Houseflies spread typhoid, tuberculosis,
and cholera, and mosquitoes carry malaria and yellow
fever.
05.
Classification or
Exemplification
Classification or Exemplification

Provide examples, solid support, and strong evidence, to


prove a point.

Use specific and vivid examples for the purpose of adding more
information to explain, persuade, define, or illustrate a general idea

Clear examples support, clarify, interest and persuade your


readers to agree with you. A good example can come from your
personal experiences, or other people’s experiences like your
friends, relatives, and classmates.
Example
People looking to lose weight have a few options: exercise,
diet, weight loss pills, and surgery. Exercising involves
going to a gym, working out at home, or joining some sort
of class or sports team. Those who are dieting can go to a
doctor about a plan for them. Weight loss pills can be taken,
if proper precautions and directions are followed.
Individuals who are severely overweight can talk to a
doctor about having surgery to lose the weight that they
need.

Cause
and Effect

resulted from a cause or multiple causes.

effect is the result of certain to explain why something
events or causes. happens.
Organizing Cause and Effect
Example
Many people think that they can get sick by going into
cold weather improperly dressed: however, illlnesses
are not caused by temperature – they are caused by
germs. So, while shivering outside in the cold
probably won’t strengthen your imune system, you’re
more likely to contract an illness indoors because you
will have a greater exposure to germs.

problem was most people lived in the East. The cities were
crowded. New land was expensive. Young families couldn’t
afford to buy farms.
Then, as a solution, the United States government purchased
land from France. The government also acquired land from
Mexico. Soon the country stretched all the way to the Pacific
Ocean.
