Problem and Solution.
Problem and Solution is a pattern of organization where information in a passage is expressed as a dilemma or concerning issue (a problem) and something that was, can be, or should be done to remedy this issue (solution or and attempted solution). The problem and solution text may seem like it would be easy to recognize, but it can be moderately difficult to identify because it is frequently cofused with the cause and effect pattern of organization, as they both have relational structure; however, if you read the passage and look specifically for both a problem and a solution to the problem, you should find it pretty easy to distinguish from cause and effect passages do nnot propose solutions to any negative occurrences within the passage but rather just explain why or how they happen.
dilemma = a situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two different things you could do
We started to read an example that is about teen pragnantcies and analyzed the text.
Example: It seems like there has been a surge in teen pregnancies these days. Teen pregnancies make it very difficult for young mothers to pursue their dreams and meet the demands of an infant. Fortunately, most teen pregnancies can be easily prevented by using birth control; however, even birth control is not 100% effective. The most effective way to prevent teen pregnancies is abstinence, which is 100% effective.
There are also a few signal words which may indicate that information in a passage in ordered in the problem and solution pattern of organization: propose, solution, approach, answer, issue, problem, problematic, remedy, prevention, prevent, solve, handle, and fix
