Oceans and lakes have much in common, but
they are also quite different. Both are bodies of
water, but oceans are very large bodies of salt
water, while lakes are much smaller bodies of
fresh water. Lakes are usually surrounded by
land, while oceans are what surround continents.
Both have plants and animals living in them. The
ocean is home to the largest animals on the
planet, whereas lakes support much smaller
forms of life. When it is time for a vacation, both
will make a great place to visit and enjoy.

Questions!
1. What is the paragraph all about?
2. How are ideas being organized?
3. What is the purpose of the author in

writing the text?
What is it?
The logical arrangement of ideas is
known as the PATTERN OF
DEVELOPMENT. The pattern helps
you follow ideas easily and understand a
text better. The ability to recognize it will
help you distinguish major details from
minor ones and predict ideas.
Narration
• Narration, in its basest definition, is story
telling.
• It is a sequence of events, not necessarily
arranged in chronological order, told by a
narrator, happening in a particular place at
a particular time.
Narration
• Narration is creating a world based on the
writer’s imagination. It is also revisiting a
world based on the author’s memory. In
either case, the reader is aimed to be
transported from one’s real world to the
reality of the story being read.
Narration
The following signal words will help you in identifying this pattern.
about before in the prior to
after during meantime later second
afterwards eventually meanwhile soon
as soon as finally first next week then till
as immediately next today
at this/that point when presently
tomorrow yesterday
until
Definition
• Using definition to develop an idea helps to
clarify and explain concepts by answering
the question “What does it mean?”
• This pattern explains the information using
illustrations, examples, and descriptions.
Definition
• Take note of the term to be defined and the
detailed explanation of the term, as these are
the most important parts of this pattern.
is defined means to define

as defined refers to to illustrate
Exemplification
•An exemplification pattern presents
the general statement and then
provides specific and concrete
examples to expound on the main
idea.
Exemplification
after all for instance specifically
as an example in other words stated differently
consider the following in particular that is
for example in short to be specific

Description
• A descriptive paragraph basically provides details
on the idea by using either a sensory or spatial
pattern.
• Sensory pattern - ideas are arranged based on
one or all of the five senses.
• Spatial pattern - arranges ideas by location or
physical space.
Description
above around between in front of onto
across away from beyond inside opposite to
adjacent to back of by into outside
against behind down near over
along below farther off throughout
alongside beneath here on to the right
amidst beside in on top of under
Comparison and Contrast
• A comparison and contrast pattern organizes ideas based
on how the events, places, people, things, and concepts
are similar to or different.
• from one another.
• Arranged separately - which involves describing one
item first followed by the second item,.
• Arranged side-by-side - which means discussing both
items based on each point of comparison.

yet, as
though, in nonetheless, the fact
opposed to,
contrast, in on the remains, unlike,
but,
spite of, in the contrary, whereas, yet
conversely
meantime on the other
hand
Classification and Division
• A classification pattern organizes ideas into categories or
divisions based on criteria and standards.
• This pattern can be used when classifying people,
things, places, and other items
• Take note of the superordinate (name of the larger
group) ideas, the subordinate (subcategories of a larger
group) ideas, and the relationship between them, since
these are the most important parts of this pattern.
Signal words for Classification and Division
another, another kind, one kind, the first

classified as, category, the last
final type group, the next part
Cause and Effect
• A cause-effect pattern organizes details based on
the cause, the reason, and the result or
consequences of a certain phenomenon.
• When reading this type of pattern, focus on and
take note of the following elements: the purpose of
the text, the relationship between causes and
effects, and the potential causal fallacies or
illogical arguments.
Signal Words for Causes
as, because (of the

consequence, as
In consequence, so, so
a result (of this),
much (so) that, so that,
because (of this),

Problem-solution
• A problem-solution pattern organizes ideas into
problems and proposed solutions.
• The problem section usually includes what, who,
when, where, why, and how of the problem.
• The other part then presents the major effects of
the problem and the possible solutions to
address it, as well as the steps in implementing
the solution.
Signal Words for Effects
but, first, second, one solution is, one

nonetheless, one way is, the problem, the
reason for the solution
Persuasion
• A persuasion pattern organizes ideas to show how
a set of evidence leads to a logical conclusion
or argument.
• Specifically, this pattern presents the issue,
position, and the supporting evidence that
supports the position.
Signal Words for Emphasizing a Point

Signal Words for Concluding and Summarizing
