Operating Definitions and Guidelines for Writing | Coherence
Organization Patterns for the
Methods of Development
It takes some experience before a new writer can get beyond summarizing
or being controlled by the organization in the literature s/he is discussing.
The stronger a writer's ideas control the organization, the more effectively
his or her essay communicates. The initial tools for organizing all
ideas are listed in the coherence discussion.
To construct academic/professional level text so that the information
is immediately accessible to the reader, writers use the methods of
development as the building blocks. The paragraphs in such analytical
writing consist of narration, description, illustration, process, comparison,
classification, cause/effect, and definition. Please click on each link
and look for the organization patterns and transitions for each.
