WEEK 11 Putting your Review together
FRIDAY UPDATE: Here is the stable GoogleMeet link for 10AM. I will be in the 9AM doc (linked below) fielding questions but I have a phone meeting with TWO OF MY BOSSES. Sorry that I cannot be in a 9AM synchro session. I will make a MP4 later today to capture that live session and give you guidance for next steps. THe Eil Review posts look great! Thank you for working so hard on your own.
WEDNESDAY UPDATE AND see the follow up for a lesson on sentences you can pattern after plus a google doc exhibit on metadisources and counting. Wht? TO make your WRITING FLOW: Meet me in the SAME OHitS/AMA doc for MONDAY, 9th: 9-11. mHow is your reading going? Let's start looking at specific clusters of paragraphs. In the first part of the lemon -- a coginitve wedge moment -- you need:
- Hook paragraph (see openings link from last week/posted in this announcement below) that also transitions into
- a problem statement of what your article addresses
- Ethos paragraph that introduces the first author and the paper, with a detail on how their work responds to this problem.
- Definitions (one medium-sized paragraph or two-three small paragraphs) essential for understanding the body paragraphs.
FAT part of lemon is where you describe and comment on three or four points from the articles: on paragraph per point (which can be modified later if needed). Here you can provide detail as well -- in needed -- provide short working definitions within appositives.
- Take-away point number 1 (could be methodological)
- Take-away point number 2 (novelty in experimental design and why this approach is solid)
- Take-way point number 3 (one selected finding or perhaps three or four related findings)
- Take-away point number 4 (IF YOU NEED THIS; optional)
Trailig off to end....we will analyze, look at stats argument, and conclude: using three to four smaller paragraphs. Here is where you think lemon or pear.
Beginning: 1-3ish paragraphs that prepare the reader to understand and
PULLING up for the update on Week 11:
Opening moves for technical documents (you can use moren than 1, if you combine then in a short paragraph. HINT: some of these categories of information can also give you an idea for a closing paragraph.
Citation: conventions of citation in a close read of an article. Basically, the steps are:
- first mention, full name (in the ethos paragraph that also introduces the article).
- (author, date)
- last name throughout

Happy Wednesday in the rain. This Google doc extends these exhibit here in this follow-up post. Do you want your document to flow? Have you experienced that critique before? Basically, you use three techniques to achieve flow for the reader:
- transitions between paragraphs
- metadiscourse to talk above the content, thereby weaving meaning for reader
- counting out (I cannot recommend this technique enough for all writers and readers)
Transitions: Even the Khan Academy takes on transitions in the context of doing well on gate-keeping tests. Check out these exhibits and learn about the power of transitions AND prep for your next reading comprehension test. Here is Mignon Fogerty's take on punctuation with transition words -- including the powerful however and therefore. You have the choice of quick read or four minute listen. Simply want a list of words useful for your transition work? This Brigham Young University-Idaho (BYUI) features this paragraph-paragraph resource that opens with a large visual with words but the surrounding discussion is helpful, too. Within a paragraph -- sentence-sentence flow -- is treated in this short companion web exhibit from BYUI.
For Friday, I will update on metadiscouse (though the linked google doc noted above includes specific examples of sentences/paragraphs you can use now. Check this out. Friday is also a time when I will update on the special metadisource strategy of counting out.
Meanwhile, here are sentence types/phrases you can borrow from:
Let's turn now to Peterson's work on pumpkin space flavorings...
Now that you understand how flavones are part of food chemistry, we can look at Perez's three innovative flavoring techniques.
This point about complex food chemistry can be summarized thusly: food chemistry is not always understood at the molecular reaction level. However, chemists understand enough about natural products to harness combinations of molecule classes like the flavenoids in chocolate. Let's look closer at the reaction outcome from Park's research.
I selected three findings from this food chemistry article. My focus in on the health aspects of these selected flavenoids.
