Text Purposes and Text Patterns
Every text has a purpose. In fact, you could probably think of a long list of writing purposes: to reflect, to memorialize, to define, to entertain, to list, to vent frustration, and to make a plea, just to name a few. Most of the texts you encounter in your college and work life will have one or more of these writing purposes: to inform, to analyze, to evaluate, and to persuade.
To compose texts that effectively fulfill their purposes, writers often use text patterns. Text patterns—narration, definition, illustration, classification, comparison-contrast, cause and effect, process analysis, and argument—are modes of thought that communicate ideas. For example, to write an informa-tive article about glaciers melting as a result of global warming, a writer may use a cause and effect text pattern. To evaluate alternative forms of energy, a writer may use a comparison-contrast text pattern. Writers choose text patterns on the basis of their topics and their writing purposes.
Text patterns help us both as readers and as writers. As readers, we recog-nize text patterns and expect them to present information in specific ways. As writers, we use text patterns to communicate our thoughts.
In this chapter, we focus on the four writing purposes and learn how text patterns can be used to fulfill these purposes.
Can you identify the animals that made these tracks? Patterns help us know what to expect, not only in the wild, but also in texts.
