Day 4: sentences and paragraphs and review/preview
(Did you lose power? I did.) Let's review some terms from rhetoric:
Logos/Pathos/Ethos
Invention/Arrangement/Style/Delivery/Memory
OK, we will weave back to talk about sentences and paragraphs. We have a new handout on sentences.
Now paragraphs: These visuals help us think about the importance of paragraphs in building a document.
Paragraphs/Cognitive Threading (two metaphors or visuals to help you)
TASKS!
Review Preview: For Tuesday, you will need to draft paragraphs for your article review. Here is the pattern
- This means you will develop between 7-12 paragraphs according to this rough structure, though you can rearrange some of the paragraphs to suit your preferences, relyaing on short, clear topic sentences with clear transitions between paragraphs.
- Beginning (hook with strong opening, establish credibility of author(s), introduce context for research)
- Middle (select three or four points to share, devoting one paragraph per point)
- End (close with your commentary on application, controversy, idea for new research, and perhaps a limitation on the research)
Revision session: Bring digital copies of your directions and your green roof memo.
