Preliminaries/Introduction (What I need to know)
In this lesson, you will learn about the different patterns of development.
Pre-assessment (What I know)
Directions: Match the patterns of development in column A with the phrases or
signal words commonly associated with them in column B.
_____ 1. in the same way, unlike A. Cause and effect

_____ 2. refers to, it means that B. Description

_____ 3. meanwhile, before C. Definition
_____ 4. adjacent to, in front of D. Sequence
_____ 5. for the reason that, due to (the fact) E. Comparison and Contrast

F. Narration
PROCEDURES

Review/Motivations (What’s In)

Reflect on what you have learned in Lesson 1. Why is it important to carefully
select and organize information whenever you are writing?

2
 Initial Activity/Discovery (What’s New)
As a writer, it is important to arrange your ideas in a text according to your
purpose in writing. Are you narrating an event, showing cause and effect, defining a
term or comparing or contrasting items? Your purpose 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.

Discussion of the Topic (What Is it)

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 (Perelman, et al.,
n.d.)
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” (Bedford, Freeman and Worth, 2019, p.2).
4. Comparison and contrast – compares two things to highlight their subtle
8:00- similarities and differences. The author's intent is to describe a connection
9:00 between two things by showing their distinguishing and shared attributes
(Bohaty, 2015).
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 (Bohaty, 2015, p. 40).
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” (Bohaty, 2015, p. 40).
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 (Bohaty, 2015).
