8. Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the
students are expected to:

written text across disciplines such
as narration, description, definition,
exemplification / classification,
comparison and contrast, cause and
effect, problem – solution and
persuasion;

9. Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the
students are expected to:
2. determine the transitional
devices specifically used in every
pattern of written text;

notice of the transitional devices used and the
manner the paragraphs were developed.

ones mentioned?

29. 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.

30. 1. DESCRIPTION
illustrates the appearance and characteristics of
a specific object, person, or location through
using sensory images, symbolism and some
figures of speech.

31. EXAMPLE:

32. 2. DEFINITION
explains not just what something means or is,
but also what something does, what something
is used for, what something looks like, etc.

33. EXAMPLE:

34. 3. CHRONOLOGY
pattern that organizes ideas or events
according to the time it happened. Chronology
comes in two forms such as narration and
process.

35. a. Narration
used to describe how, when, and where an
event actually happened. It is used to tell a
story or focus on a set of related events.

36. a. Example:

37. b. Process
arranges details or information based on steps
or stages.

38. b. Example:

39. 4. CLASSIFICATION AND DIVISIONS
uses criteria or standards in organizing ideas
into divisions, classes or categories.

40. EXAMPLE:

41. 5. EXEMPLIFICATION
provides concrete or authentic examples and
illustrations in order to further clarify or
explain the concept or main idea of the text

42. 5. EXEMPLIFICATION

43. 6. COMPARISON AND CONTRAST
organizes ideas through citing the similarities
and differences of people, things, and events
being discussed

44. 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.

45. 6. COMPARISON AND CONTRAST

46. Example
The Cretaceous Period was filled with dangerous predators, but two of the most
feared hunters were the tyrannosaurs rex and the velociraptor. The tyrannosaurs
rex was one of the largest carnivores to ever walk the Earth. He was 20 feet tall
and weighed seven tons. His jaws could crush down with 3,000 lbs. of force,
enough to smash the bones of his prey. The velociraptor was very small compared
to rex. Raptors only stood three feet tall and were seven feet long, weighing
merely 35 pounds. But the velociraptor was fast. Scientists think that raptors could
run 24 miles per hour and turn on a dime. Both dinosaurs used their jaws to kill
prey, but the raptor had a secret weapon: a retractable toe claw that he pulled out
like a knife to slash at his prey. Both dinosaurs had eyes on the front of their
heads, which helped them track prey. If these two dinosaurs had fought, it would
be difficult to say which would win; however since raptors died over ten million
years before the first tyrannosaurs was born, scientists don’t believe such a fight
ever occurred.

47. 7. CAUSE AND EFFECT
a pattern that explains why something happens
and the results produced by a particular event
or phenomenon

48. 7. CAUSE AND EFFECT
a pattern that explains why something happens
and the results produced by a particular event
or phenomenon

49. 7. CAUSE AND EFFECT
a pattern that explains why something happens
and the results produced by a particular event
or phenomenon

50. Example:
There are many theories about why the dinosaurs vanished from the
planet. One theory that many people believe is that a gigantic
meteorite smashed into the Earth. Scientists believe that the
meteorite was very big and that the impact may have produced a
large dust cloud that covered the Earth for many years. The dust
cloud may have caused plants to not receive sunlight and the large
plant eaters, or herbivores, may have died off, followed by the large
meat eaters, or carnivores. This theory may or may not be true, but it
is one explanation as to why these giant reptiles no longer inhabit the
Earth.

51. 8. PROBLEM-SOLUTION
a pattern that gives focus on discussing either a
problem or a solution to a particular situation

52. 8. PROBLEM-SOLUTION

53. 9. PERSUASION
a pattern that persuades the readers to agree to
an argument or claim about a particular issue
through presenting a set of evidence leading to
a reasonable conclusion

54. 9. PERSUASION

55. 9. PERSUASION

56. 9. PERSUASION
a pattern that organizes ideas using
enumeration without requiring items to be in
sequence because it does not observe the
element of time.

57. 9. PERSUASION
