Rhetorical stance copy 1
This document provides guidance on developing an effective writing strategy by considering purpose, audience, and voice. It advises the writer to determine their purpose by asking questions about what they want to say and achieve. The writer should also consider their audience and adopt an appropriate voice. Different types of writing, like narratives, descriptions, examples, definitions, and arguments are discussed. For each type, key elements and structures are outlined. The document stresses tailoring the writing based on integrating considerations of purpose, audience, and voice.
Writing extended definition paper2
This document provides guidance on developing an effective thesis statement and structure for a research paper. It recommends beginning with broad questions about the topic to develop a focused thesis. An effective thesis should make a clear claim, position, or generalization that can be supported with evidence. The document then outlines sections to include in the paper such as defining the problem, presenting solutions that have been attempted, discussing opposing views, and concluding with a call to action.
Editing and proofreading
The document provides tips for effectively editing and proofreading academic papers, including checking that research agrees with the paper's arguments, having strong supporting evidence, and printing a hard copy for easier reading. It recommends ensuring grammatical correctness, clear structure and style, accurate information, concise wording, smooth transitions, proper referencing, varied sentence structures, elimination of passive voice and first-person pronouns, subject-verb agreement, coherent paragraphs, correct punctuation, and verification of sources in the works cited page. Following these steps results in a well-edited paper.
Thinking critically3
The document discusses different types of reasoning including induction, deduction, and logical fallacies. It provides examples of each:
- Induction involves reasoning from specific facts or instances to arrive at a general conclusion. An example is concluding the motor vehicle center is inefficient based on multiple unproductive visits.
- Deductive reasoning moves from a general statement to a specific conclusion. An example is concluding your time will be wasted at the motor vehicle center tomorrow based on the premise it wastes people's time.
- Logical fallacies are flaws in reasoning that seem logical but are invalid. Examples of fallacies discussed include hasty generalization, self-contradiction, guilt by association, and ambiguity.
The argument paper 2013
This document provides guidance on writing an effective argument paper. It explains that an argument paper must present a debatable topic or position. The paper should follow a classical structure, including an introductory paragraph with a clear thesis statement, background information, reasons and evidence to support the thesis, anticipated objections and rebuttals, and a concluding paragraph with a call to action. When developing the argument, writers should use logical reasoning supported by specific examples, consider opposing positions, and maintain a reasonable tone.
How to write definition essay(2)(2)
This document provides guidance on writing an effective definition essay. It emphasizes using vivid examples to support definitions rather than just providing generalizations. Definitions should grow from a definition into a powerful image. Examples are needed to clarify meanings, especially for abstract terms. The topic chosen needs to be something the writer can comment on and that others would want to read about. Strong support through relevant and representative examples is important. The conclusion should not just restate the introduction but could explain how the topic affects others.
Cause effect essay2
The document provides guidance on writing a cause and effect essay. It discusses identifying a topic with a clear relationship between causes and effects. Students are advised to brainstorm potential causes and effects, and organize these graphically to clearly see the relationships. The document also provides tips for structuring the essay, such as using chronological, least obvious to most obvious, or least to most important order. It suggests transitional words to link causes and effects like "because," "therefore," and "consequently." Finally, it lists some potential topics that could be analyzed in terms of causes and effects, such as the effects of air pollution, smoking, or being an athlete.
Adj and adv
The document provides information about adjectives and adverbs:
- Adjectives describe nouns and answer questions like "which" or "what kind". Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs and answer questions like "how".
- Common adjectives tell readers qualities like color, size, or number. Adverbs tell how an action was done, when, where, or to what extent.
- Comparative adjectives/adverbs (-er, -ly) compare two things, while superlative (-est, -ly) compare more than two. The document also cautions about proper use of words like "good", "well", "bad", and "bad
Mla new
This document provides guidance on using MLA (Modern Language Association) style for citations and formatting. It discusses why MLA is important, how to avoid plagiarism, and the different components of MLA including in-text citations, works cited pages, paraphrasing, and quoting. Key resources for learning MLA are identified such as the MLA Handbook and library databases. Examples are given of how to format citations for different source types like books, websites, and interviews.
Style in Writing-Cut Wordiness
The document provides advice for improving writing style by eliminating wordiness and redundancy. It suggests cutting repetition, formulaic phrases, references to intentions, and redundant words. Other tips include using vivid verbs instead of "be" verbs or passive voice, putting the subject before the verb, placing new information at the end of sentences, and committing to a clear point of view with language of confidence.
Compare and contrast powerpoint
This document discusses comparison and contrast as a writing technique. It provides examples of comparing trivial topics like food choices as well as more complex comparisons of legal systems or sports. The document outlines two basic patterns for organizing a comparison/contrast paper: block pattern and alternating pattern. The block pattern discusses one subject at a time in separate sections while the alternating pattern discusses points about both subjects together. Key elements to compare like audience, purpose, and outcomes are given. Finally, common transition words for comparing and contrasting are listed.
Parallelism copy
The document discusses the use of parallel structure and parallelism in writing. It provides examples from historical figures that use parallel constructions to make ideas equally important and provide clarity, elegance and symmetry. Examples include phrases from Julius Caesar, Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln and others that pair grammatically similar elements like nouns, verbs, prepositional phrases for effect. The document also discusses correlatives used in pairs like "both...and", "not only...but also" and provides examples of their use and corrections of non-parallel phrases.
Brainstorming
The document discusses how growing up on a family farm shaped the author's personality and values. The farm required long hours of difficult work to complete necessary tasks like plowing, planting, fertilizing, and repairing old equipment. However, the farm also provided many personal rewards that outweighed the challenges of the work, such as a good harvest, the satisfaction of working the land, and the quiet solitude. Overall, the farm experience influenced the author's perspective on life and being human.
Descriptive writing1
The document discusses techniques for using descriptive writing to appeal to readers' senses. It recommends using vivid details about how things smell, taste, feel, look, and sound to paint a picture with words. Examples are given of using sensory details, personification, and different patterns like chronological, spatial, and psychological order when writing descriptively. The overall aim is to use descriptive techniques to create vivid images in the reader's mind.
Process analysis
This document provides guidance on writing a process paper. A process paper explains how to make or do something by describing the steps in a series or sequence. It should have an orderly progression of events. Key points include:
- Explain how to perform a task or make something through clear, easy-to-follow directions divided into distinct steps.
- Be very familiar with the process and only write about topics you know well.
- Use chronological order and define any unfamiliar terms.
- Introduce the topic, explain each step in paragraphs using normal words rather than "Step 1", and conclude with a positive note.
- Include transitional words to smoothly guide the reader through the beginning,
The Power of Sentences
Sentences require a subject, a verb, and must form an independent clause to make sense. Phrases lack either a subject or a verb or both. Infinitive phrases contain "to" followed by a verb, and split infinitives insert words between "to" and the verb. Sentences can be fragments if they lack a subject or verb, or run-on if joined improperly with commas. Dangling modifiers are not grammatically linked to the words they modify.
The writing process
This document discusses the writing triangle of purpose, voice, and audience. It explains that an author's purpose and strategy shape the type of writing, such as descriptive, narrative, process, compare/contrast, or argument. The author emphasizes finding your voice and considering your intended audience. Key questions are provided to help define each element of the writing triangle before beginning a writing project.
Sentences 091
The document discusses key elements of sentences including subjects, verbs, phrases, and clauses. It provides examples of different types of phrases and sentences such as infinitive phrases and split infinitives. It also discusses fragments, run-ons, comma splices, modifiers, and how to identify and correct issues with sentences. The overall message is that words and sentences have power and should be used carefully and constructively.
The argument paragraph 091
The document provides guidance on writing an effective argument paper. It should begin with an introductory paragraph that sets up a debatable topic and thesis. The body should provide background information, reasons supporting the thesis with examples, and anticipate and rebut opposing positions. The conclusion should call the reader to action without an abrupt ending. Tone should be fair, credible, and avoid exaggeration.

Active and passive voice1
- 2. Verbs are vigorous, direct communicators. Use active rather than passive voice.
- 3. The voice of a verb tells whether the subject of the sentence performs the action (active voice) or is acted upon (passive voice).
- 4. The active voice always names the actor (whoever performs the verb’s action), whereas the passive voice puts the actor in a phrase after the verb or even omits the actor altogether.
- 5. Active voice is usually more clear, emphatic, and concise than passive voice. The Internet is used for research by scholars, and its expansion to the general public was criticized by some. Scholars use the Internet for research, and some criticized its passive active
- 6. Change the Passive to the Active Voice 1. Around the turn of the century, a story about a clever horse was carried by Berlin newspapers. 2. The horse was named Babe by her owner. 3. Fraud was suspected by many people. 4. Doubts were still entertained by Herman. 5. The math test was failed by
- 7. The mood of a verb indicates whether a sentence is a -- Statement-The theater needs help. Question-Can you help the theater? A command- Help the theater! A suggestion/desire-I wish I were an actor.
- 8. The subjunctive mood expresses a suggestion, requirement, or desire, or it states a condition that is contrary to fact (that is, imaginary or hypothetical).
- 9. When using a suggestion or requirement with the verbs ask, insist, urge, require, recommend, or suggest use the verb’s plain form with all subjects. EX: Rules require that every donation
- 10. When writing about desire or present condition contrary to fact, use the verb’s past tense form; for be use the past tense form were. If the theater were in better shape and had more money its future would be guaranteed. I wish I were able to donate money.
- 11. Shifts in mood within a sentence can be confusing. Dissolve the crystals in liquid. You should also heat the solution. (The first sentence is a command, the second a statement.) inconsistent Dissolve the crystals in liquid; then heat the solution. (Consistent commands.) Revised Mood Consistency
- 12. Verbs. You can’t have a sentence without them. Make the most of them, use them right, and they will do wonders for your papers. Trust me.
