Types of Writing
• Narrative - This is the basic structure that writers
use in presenting ideas. This may inform through
illustration and anecdotes, entertain readers
through
stories, predict what will happen next or explain
how something works or happens. This can be any
of the following:
a. Objective - Presents an objective timeline or
details for accuracy.
b. Subjective - Presents an insightful point of view,
depending on the
writer’s feelings.
Argumentative
2. Argumentative - This goes beyond
giving information, writers use this to let
readers understand their side of an
argument, with analysis
and support to their claims, this should
have valid reasoning
and enough evidence.
details and well-chosen
sequences.
• This basically just to develop
ideas using techniques to present
details and well-chosen
sequences.
Types of Structures
1. Definition – used in explaining unfamiliar terms
either to explain or to convince.
• a. Standard Definition – Universally-accepted
and rarely changes.
• For example: definition of essay.
• b. Regulatory Definition – Assigned meanings
based on an organization,
• regulating body and changes on situations.
• For example: classification of typhoon signal as
per PAG-ASA
• c. Personal Definition – This depends on the
interpretations of the writer
• and as experienced by the writer.
• For Example: what is a true friend?
• d. Invented Definition – Given meanings to word
coined and as used by
• society.
• For example: the definition of “first blood” in
Mobile Legends.
• 2. Description - used by writers to describe
something. These may be an object,
• a person, place, experience, emotion, situation,
event, etc.
• 3. Classification – used by writers to organize
ideas into categories.
• For example: kinds of On-line games.
• 4. Comparison and Contrast – used to show how
two ideas are alike and different. Writers present
information by chunks and by following a
sequence.
• For example: IOS and android are both system
used in mobile cellular phones.
• IOS is a more closed system which does not
allow customer or user
• customization while android system is more open
as it allows users or
• customers to download a wider variety of
applications.
• 5. Cause and Effect – used to
explain why things happen, and
the results of a
• certain phenomenon. Writers
enumerate factors and possible
outcomes
• resulting to phenomena or events.
• 6. Chronological – used to show order of things,
how something happens and
• the logical arrangement of things. This structure
lends itself in other text
• structures in a sense that in narrating writers
need to present a timeline of
• events; in persuading people, writers enumerate
evidence in a sequence.
• 7. Problem and Solution – used in
showing patterns of organization
where a
• dilemma is explained either
through a solution or a dilemma is
explained and a
• solution/s is/are given.
