Transcription of 5 Common Methods of Development - Cengage
{{id}} {{{paragraph}}}
5 Common Methods of Development Chapter 5 shows students how to employ various Methods of Development to shape their essays. Narration, description, process analysis, comparison, classification, definition, and causal analysis are presented as tools to help students explain their points, not as structures that need to be filled with information. Because writers use several of these Methods to develop a piece of writing, students should realize that no one mode is ever used to the exclusion of others. Narratives contain description and classification; causal analyses contain narratives and comparisons. Chapter 5 presents the Methods of Development not as ends in themselves but as heuristics, or teaching prompts, to help students discover what they want to say in their writing. Because students tend to see Methods of Development the rhetorical modes as forms of, rather than as aids to, writing, many teachers avoid mentioning them, regarding such concepts as antithetical to teaching writing as process.
