PATTERN OF ORGANIZATION
Scientist say that it is human nature to look patterns in what we see. Our brain is always trying to make sense of the world around us. A pattern makes it easier for our brain to understand and remember information
PATTERN OF ORGANIZATION
Four common patterns1. Listing of related ideas or examples2. Sequence3. Comparison/contrast4. Cause-effect
PATTERN OF ORGANIZATION
Listing of related ideas or examplePeople have many different ideas aboutwhat makes a great vacation. Some people like to gofor long walks in the forest, where they won’t seeanyone for days. Others prefer to spend theirholiday in an exciting city. There they can visitmuseums, theaters and good restaurants. Stillothers enjoy the fresh air at the seashore. A fewpeople decide to stay at home.

In this pattern, the writers main idea is stated in the form of a generalization. This is followed by a list of supporting details.

Comparison/ContrastVisitors see some similarities between New York and San Francisco. Both cities, for example, are exciting cultural centers. They are equally attractive to people from many parts of the world. The cities are also alike because they both have many beautiful buildings, large, lovely parks and grand bridges.

On the other hand, the two cities have important differences. One difference is the lifestyle. New Yorkers are always in a hurry and are much less friendly than residents of san Francisco. The streets in the California city are very clean, unlike New York, where the streets are often dirty. Another major differences is safety: San Francisco has much less crime than New York.

Cause-EffectIn 1989, the Exxon Valdez oil tanker spilled millions of gallons of oil in Alaska’s Prince William Sound. Biologists who have studied the local wildlife have noted the consequences of the spill. It has resulted in a great decline in the number of birds in the area. The spill also has caused many young harbor seals to suffer from brain damage and death. Killer whales also felt the impact of the spill.
PATTERN OF ORGANIZATION
When the main idea is that one event or action causes another, authors use the cause-effect pattern
