E. Discussing or Explaining In this part , you will learn about the Appropriate Grammatical Signals or
the Concept (Abstraction) Expressions Suitable to Cause and Effect Pattern of Idea Development.

Pattern of Idea development are essential in writing. It refers to the structure of

writing on how the ideas are being presented. 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.

Cause and Effect

This pattern of idea development explains the causes or the effects of something.
When a writer presents reasons, he or she is explaining the causes. When a writer
explains the results, he or she is explaining the effects.

SOLO Integration
Unistructural:
 What is a cause and effect patter of idea?
Multistructural:
 Give some examples of cause and effects pattern?
Relational:
 How do cause and effect pattern of idea development relate to each other in
writing your text?
- In writing a text, the cause and effect pattern is revelant to provide clear
and logical explanations. This pattern ensures that the information flows
smoothly and is easy for you to understand, helping to build coherent
structure.
F. Making of Generalization To wrap everything up that we have discussed in this lesson, the teacher will ask the
or Formulation of Concept following question:

 What are the grammatical signals or expressions suitable to cause and effect
pattern of idea development?
- Cause: if, for, since, due to, because, owing to, because of, one cause,
and resulting from
- Effect: so, thus, hence, then, therefore, as a result, in effect, as
consequence, consequently, leads to, one of the effects is, and that is
why
