    Are there really people born with

    the talent in writing?


    PATTERNS
    OF
    DEVELOPMENT
    IN WRITING
    1.Development by Description

    - the writer should be able to


    draw things clearly in the minds of
    the readers by the use of adjectives,
    so that the readers will be able to
    imagine what the writer has seen,
    felt or has experienced.
    2. Development by Narration

    - its events must be arranged


    according to the order of time or
    chronological order and should be
    related.
    Key points in writing a narrative:

    a. Know what to write


    b. Develop a strong topic sentence
    c. Choose your materials
    d. Organize the events
    e. Consider your audience
    f. Use dialogue
    g. Use figurative language
    h. Use narrative details
    3. Development by Comparison and
    Contrast

    - shows how a person, animal or


    thing mentioned in the topic
    sentence resembles or differs from
    someone or something else.
    Reminders for effective comparison:

    a. Things compared should belong to


    the same class.

    Example:

    Students who graduated from urban


    elementary schools are more
    technologically-minded than students who
    graduated from rural elementary schools.
    Reminders for effective comparison:

    b. Comparison should be based on the


    same set of measurement – both
    items in the comparison must be
    measured by the same yardstick.

    Example:

    Earthquakes often occur in the Philippines,


    but they are not so destructive as Japan.

    Earthquakes that occur in the Philippines


    are not as destructive as those that occur
    in Japan.
    Reminders for effective comparison:

    c. Dangling comparisons should be


    avoided. The two things being
    compared should be in one
    sentence.

    Example:

    Reading is easier. (wrong)

    Reading is easier than writing. (correct)


    Reminders for effective comparison:

    d. Use the comparative degree in


    comparing two persons, places or
    things.

    Example:

    Of the two masterpieces, I like this best.


    (wrong)

    Of the two masterpieces, I like this better.


    (correct)
    Reminders for effective comparison:

    e. The superlative is used for


    emphasis only when no
    comparison is intended, especially
    in a formal and informal speech.

    Examples:

    This is the most critical moment!

    You are the luckiest boy in town.


    4. Development by Definition

    - gives a satisfactory explanation


    of the meaning of a word and may
    point out the special limitations of
    its meaning.
    5. Development by Classification

    - the systematic arrangement of


    things that are related and is based
    on principles or basis in order to
    come up with a well-organized data.
    6. Development by Cause and Effect

    - explains how certain causes


    produce results or effects. This
    method is particularly suitable for
    argumentation and exposition.
    7. Development by Analogy

    - shows a point-by-point
    comparison of two things from
    different classes but bearing
    fundamental similarities.
    8. Development by Question and
    Answer

    - used in argumentations and


    explanations, but the questions are
    meant to be unanswered.
    9. Development by Example

    - presents examples to support


    and make clear the topic sentence.
    10. Development by Process Analysis

    - explains how an operation is


    done, therefore, involves
    instructions or directions in doing a
    process with the help of transitional
    words or devices.
    10. Development by Problem and
    Solution

    - an information is presented as a
    problem or issue and a solution that
    can be done to solve that issue.
