27. LECTURE FORMATS

28. 1. Text Dependent
• Based on text

29. Example of Outline
I. Parts of Speech
A. Verbs
B. Nouns
C.Adjectives…

30. Example of Heading
Dependent Clause
-also subordinate clause
-starting with clause openers
(subordinating conjunctions and
relative pronouns)

31. 2. Text Independent
• Not solely based on text

32. 3. Inductive
• Begins with a small fact, building
upon that to a major conclusion
E.g.
Past and present indicate time or
tense which suggests action and
conditions or verbs. Thus, there are
verb tenses.

33. 4. Deductive
• Starts with a major point and gradually
defends that point down to the smallest
fact
E.g.
Conjunctions connect words, phrases,
and sentences and may be coordinating,
correlative, and subordinating.

34. 5. Chronological
• organized according to time, often
earliest to most recent
E.g.
Important English Literature
1321 Divine Comedy
1353 Decameron
1388 Canterbury Tales

earliest to most recent
E.g.

1321 Divine Comedy
1353 Decameron
1388 Canterbury Tales

36. 6. Spatial
• Uses diagrams, maps, or pictures to
guide the direction of the lecture

37. 7. Logical
• Follows some sequence of events or
steps in an evolutionary manner
E.g.
While there are misplaced modifiers
which are too far, there are also
dangling which do not modify any
word in a sentence.

38. 8. Topical
• Presents several content areas with
no apparent connection
E.g.
Week 1: Faustus
