TO KNOW
DISCUSSION
Another genre of literature aside from poetry, drama, and short story are the essays. The word essay
came from the French word “essais ” (Cantular, 2011). Have you written an autobiography before? How about
writing on your embarrassing or unforgettable experience? Or, your new years’ resolution as soon you came
back to school from the Christmas holiday?
An essay can be written by you on almost any subject reflecting your attempts to express your experiences,
ideas, and feelings about whatever topic you are writing on. An essay may be written creatively especially the
ones that are reflections of a writer’s personal experience, feelings, and ideas. It uses ordinary, colloquial
language and is conversational in tone and style. It considers the following acronym to make it effective:
 Content
 Role
 Audience
 Format
 Topic
There are different kinds of essays. According to Cantular (2011), essays are classified into its content and
purpose. Here are the types of essays:
1. Speculative – This type needs to explore ideas and feelings. It is less organized, less authoritative, and
less insistent in its presentation for it simply projects the mind of the writer.
2. Argumentative – This essay presents claims and ideas in a straightforward manner. Its main intent is to
establish a point by supporting it with evidences, data, and information.
3. Narrative – This essay relates an incident as it happened. It is unlike fiction since its intention is the
conveyance of idea/insight based on an event.
4. Expository – This essay has the purpose of expounding and making something clear for the readers.
Just like any other prose composition, essays can be organized in the following patterns or methods of
organization.
 Chronological order – A chronological pattern of organization arranges information according to a
progression of time, either forward or backward. When a topic is best understood in terms of different
segments of time, a chronological format works well. For example, topics of an historical nature are best
organized using this pattern.

 Order of importance – In this order, ideas or steps are prioritized by the writer or speaker according to a
hierarchy of value. When using the order of importance pattern of organization, information can be
structured from most important to least important or least important to most important.
 Sequential order - A sequential pattern of organization is similar to a chronological pattern, but arranges
information according to a step-by-step sequence that describes a particular process. When one wishes to
describe a process that follows specific series of steps in a particular order, then a sequential pattern works
well. For example, suppose a writer's stated purpose is to explain how wine is made.
 Spatial order - A spatial pattern of organization arranges information according to how things fit together
in physical space; i.e., where one thing exists in relation to another. This pattern works well when a writer
wishes to create a mental picture of something which has various parts distinguished by physical location.
Topics involving geography, for example, are often best organized using a spatial pattern.
 Comparison and contrast order - A compare and contrast pattern arranges information according to
how two or more things are similar to or different from one another (or both). This is an effective pattern
to use when the reader can better understand one subject when it is described in relation to another. If
the reader is familiar with one topic, the writer can compare or contrast it with another topic to shed
insight on it. For example, suppose a writer's stated purpose is to help the reader make an informed
decision about whether to attend a two-year college or a four-year university.

Generalization:
From this lesson, you just learned about craft as the art of writing. However, it can also stand for an
acronym to refer to the characteristics of an essay that differentiates it from other genres of literature. You will
use this acronym to make sure that your essay will fit the standards as a literary genre distinct from poetry,
fiction, and play. You also learned about the different types of essays which are useful in expressing personal
feeling, perceptions and experiences.

Values Formation:
In this lesson, you have learned about the various types of essays which are salient in expressing
personal feeling, perceptions and experiences. By these, it helps you enhance your critical thinking skills as
well as proper usage of subject-verb agreement as you go along in crafting your own essay. Furthermore, this
lesson gives you the opportunity to engage yourself to the community as well as being an active learner or
individual regarding the social issues in the community you belong.
