Pattern of Idea Development (General To Particular/Specific)

This document discusses the general to particular pattern of idea development, where a composition begins with a broad topic introduced in the topic sentence and then provides specific details and examples to support the general statement. This organizational structure follows a direct approach by making everything clear up front and leaving little to the imagination of readers, transitioning from general statements to more specific examples through the use of words like "first," "second," "for example," and "as an instance."
