Patterns: A Focus for Reading• Thought patterns: patterns of ideas• Commonly used though patterns include:
– Definition– Classification– Order or Sequence– Cause and Effect– Compare and Contrast– Listing/enumeration (numbering)
• Patterns provide a focus for reading by allowing you to anticipate the author’s thought development.
• Patterns help you remember and recall what you read (groups, chunks).
• Patterns are useful in your own writing.
