Analysis (15 minutes)
You will learn about idea development, its patterns, and appropriate grammatical signals.

Idea development -is essential in writing. This is done by organizing ideas in a logical and clear manner that suits the writer’s purpose. To achieve this, it is necessary to use appropriate grammatical signals or expressions.
Grammatical signals are writing devices such as transitional devices, connectors, determiners, and repetitions that are used to maintain text coherence. Coherence establishes a logical connection between ideas in sentences and paragraphs. These ideas can be developed through
There are five of the commonly used patterns of idea development and these are the general to particular, cause and effect, claim-counterclaim, problem-solution, and persuasion.
These are the other grammatical signals that can be used for general to particular pattern of idea development: also, for example, as an example, in addition, in addition to, for instance, examples of these, first, second, third, next, on one hand, and on the other hand.
different patterns depending on the writer’s purpose.
Pattern of idea development
- refers to the structure of writing on how the ideas are being presented.
A. General to Particular This pattern of idea development discusses the general topic by presenting specific details that support the topic. The writer starts with the general idea stated in the topic sentence. Then, it is elaborated and explained through specific details and examples. In other words, general to particular pattern is a deductive method of organization.
Example: Clouds can be classified into three major groups. High clouds are a group of clouds that are 5-13 km. away from the Earth’s surface. Examples of these clouds are known as Cirrus, Cirrostratus, and Cirrocumulus. Middle clouds are another group of clouds
strengthened which can slow down the loss of bone density that comes when you age. As a result, it can help you maintain or increase your muscle mass and strength. Also, regular exercise improves your mental health and mood. During an exercise, your body releases chemicals that can improve your mood and make you feel more relaxed. As an effect, it can help you deal with stress and reduce your risk of depression. These are the benefits that you get when you exercise.
C. Claim and Counterclaim
- refers to the structure of presenting a side of an issue in an argumentative manner. A claim is the writer’s stand on a topic supported by evidences and logical reasoning. Also, the writer presents the counterclaim or the opposite stand of an issue to disprove it through evidences and logical reasoning.
Example: People believe that rock music can make teenagers rebellious because of its lyrics but, I don’t think it is enough to make them go against society. They say rock music concentrates mostly on antisocial subjects which influence teenagers’ view toward society. However, a study shows that an average teenager would not take the music seriously, for he or she concentrates more on the musical value of the song
Here are the other transitional devices that can be used for claim counterclaim pattern of idea development: however, nevertheless, on one hand, on the other hand, admittedly, some people say, some may say, of course, nevertheless, and but not only that.
rather than the inner meaning of the lyrics. Thus, even though the lyrics in rock music shows social rebellion, it does not make teenagers rebel against society.
D. Problem-Solution This pattern of idea development is used when a writer identifies a problem and addresses it by presenting one or more solutions. A problem refers to the unsatisfactory situation that causes troubles or difficulties. A solution on the other hand, refers to the ways in solving or minimizing the problem.
Example: Drug abuse is one of the leading social issues in many countries. This problem has been the cause of many crimes and health concerns. However, the threat of prohibited drugs can be fought. One way to solve this is through education. Everyone needs to be educated about the dangers of using prohibited drugs. People need to be aware of the harmful effects of these drugs to their health, family, career, and society. Another solution is to increase police manpower and create
Here are the grammatical signals to be used for problem- solution pattern of idea development: because, cause, since, as a result, in order to, and so that, as a solution, and one way.
