3.3 Recognizing Patterns of Development

Cards (37)

  • What are "Patterns of Development" used for in writing?
    Enhance clarity and coherence
  • What is the defining feature of the "Chronological Order" pattern of development?
    Ideas in sequence
  • The "Cause and Effect" pattern shows the relationship between events and their consequences
  • Match the pattern with its definition:
    Comparison/Contrast ↔️ Highlighting similarities and differences
    Cause and Effect ↔️ Showing the relationship between events
    Problem and Solution ↔️ Identifying issues and proposing solutions
    Process Analysis ↔️ Explaining how to do something step-by-step
  • Spatial arrangement organizes ideas based on their physical location
  • Excessive smartphone use can lead to eye strain, according to a cause-and-effect pattern

    True
  • Match the pattern with its example:
    Chronological order ↔️ "First, gather the ingredients; then, bake the cake."
    Comparison/Contrast ↔️ "City life offers more job opportunities, rural areas a quieter environment."
    Spatial arrangement ↔️ "The fireplace was on the left, the sofa on the right."
    Cause and effect ↔️ "Pollution from factories can lead to respiratory problems."
  • Text structures are organizational patterns used to present ideas clearly and coherently
  • What is the primary definition of the "Comparison/Contrast" text structure?
    Highlight similarities and differences
  • Patterns of Development are systematic ways writers organize ideas to enhance clarity and coherence
  • Chronological order organizes ideas in the order they occur
    True
  • Arrange the following patterns of development from most to least common:
    1️⃣ Comparison/Contrast
    2️⃣ Cause and Effect
    3️⃣ Process Analysis
  • In a chronological order pattern, ideas are organized in the sequence they occur
  • Process analysis explains how to do something step-by-step

    True
  • What is the purpose of the "Problem and Solution" text structure?
    Address a specific issue
  • Text structures enhance the clarity of writing by organizing ideas in a logical and coherent
  • In the "Cause and Effect" text structure, transitions like "as a result" and "therefore" indicate causal relationships
  • Transition words in a text help readers understand the relationships between ideas.

    True
  • A "Comparison/Contrast" pattern of development example is: "Comparing city and rural life reveals distinct advantages and disadvantages
  • The "Problem and Solution" pattern identifies an issue and proposes a way to address it.

    True
  • What is the purpose of a cause and effect text structure?
    Shows relationships between events
  • What is the main goal of a problem and solution text structure?
    Propose a way to address an issue
  • What are text structures used for in writing?
    To present ideas clearly
  • Give an example of a transition word used in a comparison/contrast structure.
    However
  • What is the purpose of a problem and solution text structure?
    To propose a resolution
  • Name an example of a transition word used in a process analysis text structure.
    Finally
  • Transition words are used to signal relationships between ideas in writing
    True
  • Excessive smartphone use can lead to eye strain and sleep disturbances
  • Writers use transitions to signal patterns of development in their writing
    True
  • Excessive smartphone use can lead to eye strain and sleep disturbances
  • Text structures help writers organize ideas logically to enhance clarity in writing

    True
  • In a comparison/contrast text structure, transitions like "similarly" and "in contrast" highlight differences
  • The transition word "therefore" is commonly used in a cause and effect text structure

    True
  • In a cause and effect text structure, transitions like "as a result" and "because" indicate causal relationships.
  • Arrange the following transition words based on their corresponding text structures:
    1️⃣ Comparison/Contrast: in contrast
    2️⃣ Cause and Effect: as a result
    3️⃣ Problem and Solution: the solution is
    4️⃣ Process Analysis: first
  • What is the definition of the comparison/contrast pattern of development?
    Highlighting similarities and differences
  • What is the purpose of the process analysis pattern of development?
    Explaining step-by-step
