    Study Notes

    Narration

    • Narration is storytelling, a sequence of events told by a narrator, set in a particular place and time.
    • Narration creates or revisits a world based on the author's imagination or memory.
    • The purpose of narration is to transport the reader from their real world to the world of the story.

    Definition

    • Definition is a pattern that develops an idea by explaining and clarifying concepts.
    • It answers the question "What does it mean?" using illustrations, examples, and descriptions.
    • Key elements of this pattern are the term to be defined and its detailed explanation.
    • Signal words can help identify this pattern.

    • This pattern organizes details based on the cause, reason, and result or consequences of a phenomenon.
    • It may discuss both causes and effects, causes only, or effects only.

    Problem-Solution

    • This pattern organizes ideas into problems and proposed solutions.
    • The problem section includes the who, what, when, where, why, and how of the problem.
    • The solution section presents the effects of the problem and possible solutions, as well as implementation steps.

    Persuasion
