Sobre

Choosing Paragraph Patterns is a mind map template based on the 'Rules For Writers' chapter, designed to help students and writers quickly identify and apply nine distinct paragraph patterns. With 34 nodes organized under patterns like narration, process, example/illustration, analogy, definition, comparison/contrast, description, cause/effect, and classification/division, this template provides a structured overview of when and how to use each pattern. For instance, the 'narration' branch covers introductions, telling a story that makes a point, and giving background on people or events. The 'cause/effect' pattern helps argue the logic of evidence of action. This cheat sheet is ideal for essay planning, writing workshops, and academic reference.
