© 2004 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Longman Publishers The Classification Pattern  Authors use the classification pattern to sort ideas into smaller groups and describe the traits of each group.  Each smaller group, called a subgroup, is based on shared traits or characteristics.

One type of wetland is a bog; it is characterized by spongy peat deposits, acidic waters, and is covered by a carpet of sphagnum moss. Another type of wetland is the marsh, which is a wetland frequently swamped with water; it is characterized by soft-stemmed vegetation. Finally, a swamp is a type of wetland dominated by woody plants.

© 2004 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Longman Publishers Thought Patterns in Textbooks  Textbook authors use transitions to make relationships between ideas clear and easy to understand.  Often authors mix thought patterns in the same passage or paragraph.  The effective reader looks for the author’s primary thought pattern.

© 2004 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Longman Publishers Comparison-and-Contrast  Comparison points out the ways in which two or more ideas are alike. “Writing, like farming, follows a planting, growing, and reaping cycle.”  Contrast points out the ways in which two or more ideas are different. “Women differ from men in their styles of communication.”

Both yoga and Pilates are low-impact forms of exercise that improve posture, flexibility, and contraction. However, the primary goal of Pilates is to strengthen the midsection and buttocks. On the other hand, yoga does not focus on any one part of the body. Rather yoga works the opposing muscles of the entire body.”

© 2004 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Longman Publishers Cause-and-Effect  A cause states why something happens.  An effect states a result or outcome. “Because Selena memorized the algebra formulas and practiced using them, she did well on the test.” “Due to the amount of snow on the streets and highways, schools and businesses have shut down.”
