Methods of Developing the Essay / Organization Patterns
This video talks about various ways we can use to develop the organization of the essay. Some of them are as follows. These methods of development—cause and effect, problem-solution, chronology or narrative, and comparison and contrast, expository or persuasive — are just a few ways to organize and develop ideas and content in your essays. It’s important to note that they should not be a starting point for writers who want to write something authentic—something that they care deeply about. Instead, they can be a great way to help you look for what’s already happening with your topic or in a draft, to help you to write more, or to help you reorganize some parts of an essay that seem to lack connection or feel disjointed. Look for organizational patterns when you’re reading work by professional writers. Notice where they combine strategies (e.g., a problem-solution pattern that uses cause-and-effect organization, or a comparison-contrast pattern that uses narrative or chronology to develop similarities or differences). Pay attention to how different writers emphasize and develop their main ideas and use what you find to inspire you in your own writing. Better yet, work on developing completely new patterns of your own.
