    Types of Writing
    • Narrative - This is the basic structure that writers use
    in presenting ideas. This may inform through
    illustration and anecdotes, entertain readers through
    stories, predict what will happen next or explain how
    something works or happens. This can be any of the
    following:
    a. Objective - Presents an objective timeline or details
    for accuracy.
    b. Subjective - Presents an insightful point of view,
    depending on the
    writer’s feelings.
    Argumentative

    2. Argumentative - This goes beyond


    giving information, writers use this to let
    readers understand their side of an
    argument, with analysis
    and support to their claims, this should
    have valid reasoning
    and enough evidence.
    present
    details and well-chosen sequences.

    • This basically just to develop ideas


    using techniques to present
    details and well-chosen sequences.
    Types of Structures

    1. Definition – used in explaining unfamiliar terms


    either to explain or to convince.
    • a. Standard Definition – Universally-accepted and
    rarely changes.
    • For example: definition of essay.
    • b. Regulatory Definition – Assigned meanings based
    on an organization,
    • regulating body and changes on situations.
    • For example: classification of typhoon signal as per
    PAG-ASA
    • c. Personal Definition – This depends on the
    interpretations of the writer
    • and as experienced by the writer.
    • For Example: what is a true friend?
    • d. Invented Definition – Given meanings to word
    coined and as used by
    • society.
    • For example: the definition of “first blood” in Mobile
    Legends.
    • 2. Description - used by writers to describe
    something. These may be an object,
    • a person, place, experience, emotion, situation, event,
    etc.
    • 3. Classification – used by writers to organize ideas
    into categories.
    • For example: kinds of On-line games.
    • 4. Comparison and Contrast – used to show how two
    ideas are alike and different. Writers present
    information by chunks and by following a sequence.
    • For example: IOS and android are both system used in
    mobile cellular phones.
    • IOS is a more closed system which does not allow
    customer or user
    • customization while android system is more open as it
    allows users or
    • customers to download a wider variety of applications.
    • 5. Cause and Effect – used to explain
    why things happen, and the results of
    a
    • certain phenomenon. Writers
    enumerate factors and possible
    outcomes
    • resulting to phenomena or events.
    • 6. Chronological – used to show order of things, how
    something happens and
    • the logical arrangement of things. This structure lends
    itself in other text
    • structures in a sense that in narrating writers need to
    present a timeline of
    • events; in persuading people, writers enumerate
    evidence in a sequence.
    • 7. Problem and Solution – used in
    showing patterns of organization
    where a
    • dilemma is explained either through a
    solution or a dilemma is explained
    and a
    • solution/s is/are given.
