TAKE A BREAK (15 minutes)
Read the text on your module on page 4. Take
notice of the transitional devices used and the
manner the paragraphs were developed.
LET US
ANALYZE

2 developed?

5. Can you give other
patterns of developing a
paragraph aside from the
ones mentioned?
Pattern of Development
• technique that the writers use in
developing ideas that are logically
arranged.
• transitional devices -help you determine
the difference of one pattern from
another.
1. DESCRIPTION
illustrates the appearance and characteristics of
a specific object, person, or location through
using sensory images, symbolism and some
figures of speech.

4. CLASSIFICATION AND DIVISIONS
uses criteria or standards in organizing ideas
into divisions, classes or categories.
5. EXEMPLIFICATION
provides concrete or authentic examples and
illustrations in order to further clarify or
explain the concept or main idea of the text
6. COMPARISON AND CONTRAST
organizes ideas through citing the similarities
and differences of people, things, and events
being discussed
6. COMPARISON AND CONTRAST
can be done separately describing only one
item first followed by the second item and side-
by-side discussing both items based on each
point of comparison.
