Lesson 2 :

Patterns of Development in
Writing
•Yourpurpose suggests a method
of organization or logical
arrangement known as the pattern
of development. It could be a
way of logically organizing the
whole text or a just an
individual paragraph.
There are different patterns by which ideas are
developed. Some of the major ones are discussed below:

1. Narration – refers to a
sequential telling of a story
or recounting of a series of
events.
2. Definition - Explains an idea,
term or phrase using distinguishing
characteristics or synonyms. It is
used to set working generalizations
that help control the meaning and
scope of important terms or ideas.
3. Description – similar with
narration for having many specific
details,description “emphasizes the
senses by painting a picture of how
something looks, sounds, smells,
tastes, or feels. Description is
often used to establish a mood or
atmosphere”.
4. Comparison and contrast –
compares two things to highlight
their subtle similarities and
differences. The author's intent is
to describe a connection between
two things by showing their
distinguishing and shared
attributes.
5. Sequence – describes steps,
events, processes, or procedures.
There are three types of Sequence:
steps, timeline, and cycle.
Regardless of the type, the author
is putting information in an order.
6. Cause and effect – shows the
linkage of causation – how events
are influenced or caused by
another. “The author's intent is to
tell us how an event always
leads to an outcome. The event is
the cause and the outcome is the
result. The relationship is between
the cause and the effect”.
7. Problem and solution - divides
information into two main sections,
one that describes a problem and
one that describes a solution.
Here, the author’s intent is to
discuss or propose a solution to a
problem. The relationship
between the problem and the
solution is explored.
