Hello Students:
We had an interesting class today. Please be sure to review with your classmates the formula I described regarding the timed writing:
INTRODUCTION
TWO BODY PARAGRAPHS
CONCLUSION
We also discussed UNITY and COHERENCE. Unity is that each paragraph has only ONE IDEA and a clear TOPIC SENTENCE telling the reader what you are going to write. COHERENCE means that you use TRANSITIONS and CLEAR LOGIC throughout the ENTIRE PAPER!
Your homework:
1) Read over the entire book and get a feeling for how each chapter is organized
2) Read "Advertising to the World" on page 2 once more, practicing the skimming and scanning techniques I mentioned.
3) On page 6-7 do 1-4 and 1-8.
4) Please read over all of Unit 1 also.
5) Think of questions to ask me about how to become a better writer ... reader!
