Writing patterns occur all the time wether you are writing or some one else is. Their are 6 types of writing patterns and each one has its own significant style. My preferred writing pattern is Examples. I feel that its the easiest way to explain to some one what you are talking about. Showing examples can depicts what your trying to say and will help get your point across faster and more efficiently. I like this chapter because it showed me the other types of writing styles that i never thought of using until now..

Understanding supporting details is very crucial to understand the main idea. The supporting details usually tells us alot about the topic at hand. Diagrams are a great way to show how supporting details are used and to show us how they actually support the main idea. I like this chapter because it helps me visualize where the details in the paragraph might be.

Chapter 6

This chapter focuses on understanding paragraphs topics and main ideas. For every paragraph we read there is a main idea and we need to focus on that idea when reading the paragraph. The main idea is the most important idea and i feel that thats true. I usually understand what the paragraph is talking about so finding the main idea isnt to difficult for me. But for many others this chapter could be a great help.  

Chapter 5

     Seeing how reviewing is very important this chapter to me was like a review to me because i learned these things in high school. Many things in this chapter like avoiding one word answers and back round knowledge were familier to me already. The only thing that i have learned from this chapter was that Previewing was to help find out what the book is about.

Chapter 4

            I have learned that many works in the english language have prefixes, roots and suffixes. I never knew that they were so important to the english language. This chapter showed me the many words that use prefixes and how they are used in the sentence. I found this chapter interesting and very helpful. I have learned about root in high school, those are important also. This chapter reminded me of the importance of words and their roots.
