Narration
telling a story or recounting a series of events
Description
like narration BUT emphasizes the senses by painting a picture of how something looks, sounds, smells, tastes, or feels
Process Analysis
explains how something works, how to do something, or how something was done
Exemplification
providing a series of examples - facts, specific cases, or instances - turns a general idea into a concrete one; makes argument clearer and more persuasive to the reader
Compare and Contrast
juxtaposing two things to highlight their similarities and differences
Classification and Division
sorting material or ideas into categories; most of the time, the writer develops own categories in order to find a distinctive way of breaking down a larger idea or concept into parts
Definition
involves defining a term (such as “success” or “freedom”) in order to examine implications; ensures that the writer and audience are speaking the same language
Cause and Effect
a powerful foundation for argument; analyzes the causes that lead to a certain effect OR the effects that result from a cause
