This document discusses what makes a text and the key components of text analysis. It defines that texts must be self-contained, well-formed, cohesive, coherent, have recognizable text types, be appropriate for their context, and have a clear purpose. It explores cohesion achieved through lexical, grammatical, and rhetorical devices and how texts use reference internally and externally. The document also examines coherence at the micro and macro level and how texts connect to their context through text type, purpose, audience and mode. Finally, it discusses how authentic texts and literary texts can be used in the classroom with adaptation and task-based strategies.

HIS 101-Sp09-Peer Review
The peer review worksheet provides guidance for evaluating another author's work in four categories: introduction, body, conclusion, and grammar. Reviewers are asked to comment on whether the introduction grabs attention and smoothly introduces the thesis, whether the body uses transition sentences and has clear topic sentences supported by evidence, and whether the conclusion restates the thesis and discusses broader significance. Reviewers should consider grammar issues like run-on sentences, spelling, and sentence structure.
Writing Skill by Marianne Celce-Murcia
This document discusses writing as a process of communication and the relationship between speaking and writing. It addresses the challenges writers face in considering an absent reader and accommodating different contexts. The interactionist approach views writing as similar to speech and emphasizes developing reader-based writing through feedback and revision. Creating coherence involves linking ideas and using cohesive devices appropriate for the genre and audience. The goal of writing instruction is to help students choose topics and organize their ideas to be understood by readers.
Speaking
1) The document discusses the challenges of speaking in a second language and strategies to improve oral communication skills. It notes that speaking requires not just grammatical competence but understanding of social and cultural norms.
2) Several factors that can lead to mismatches in oral communication are explored, including lack of linguistic knowledge, different background knowledge between speakers, and differences in sociocultural expectations.
3) The document provides advice for language learners and teachers to help strengthen oral abilities, such as using compensatory strategies, engaging in activities like storytelling and discussions, and creating an supportive environment in the classroom.
Paragraphs
Paragraphs should follow a consistent structure. They begin with a topic sentence that introduces the main idea. The body contains supporting arguments and examples. The concluding sentence, or terminator, wraps up the paragraph's point. Longer essays may substitute a transition sentence between paragraphs. The topic sentence should clearly and neutrally state what will be discussed without being referenced. When proofreading, check for proper formatting, spelling, inclusion of on-topic sentences, restatement of the topic sentence, and use of examples, facts, and descriptive elements. Narrative paragraphs tell a story through sequential events while expository paragraphs explain or clarify through evidence and objective language. Descriptive paragraphs focus more on action than sensations to help readers visualize. Persuasive
Types of paragraphs
This document outlines seven types of paragraphs: narration, exposition, definition, classification, description, process analysis, and persuasion. Each type has a distinct purpose and structure. Narration paragraphs tell a story through sequential events, while exposition paragraphs explain or clarify a topic through objective language and evidence. Definition paragraphs provide meaning, origin, and function of a subject. Classification organizes a topic into contexts and comparisons. Description focuses on chronological action over impressions. Process analysis guides the reader step-by-step through performing an action. Persuasion aims to convince the reader of a viewpoint through imperative language.

Essay
This document provides an overview of essays, including their definition, characteristics, classification, structure, writing process, and advantages/disadvantages. It defines an essay as a short written composition expressing personal ideas or opinions. The key characteristics are unity, order, brevity, style, and personal touch. Essays are classified into narrative, descriptive, expository, reflective, and imaginative. The writing process involves an introduction with a hook, thesis and background; body paragraphs with a topic sentence, details and conclusion; and a conclusion summarizing the main points. Revision and proofreading are important final steps.
STEPS IN EXPOSITORY WRITING
Expository writing is used to inform, explain, or describe a topic to readers. It presents a main idea in the introduction, then supports it with 2-3 paragraphs of facts and figures, and concludes by summarizing the topic. The objective is to truthfully inform readers about a topic. Examples include instruction manuals, textbooks, research papers, and news articles. Expository writing is characterized by being informative, clear, organized, impartial, and supported by evidence.
Comparative essay
Comparative text responses require balancing analysis of individual texts with comparison of how the two texts address similar topics, themes or issues. Effective responses introduce an argument, discuss each text in depth supported by evidence, compare the texts by highlighting similarities and differences, and conclude by restating the position. Structuring can focus on discussing each text separately then comparing, integrate comparison throughout, or organize by similarity or difference. Strong responses demonstrate thorough understanding of texts and how authors construct meaning, develop logical interpretations, justify with evidence, and express ideas fluently.

Four Levels Of Translation
This document discusses translation units and the hierarchy of linguistic units that should be considered when translating from one language to another. It notes that Catford and Halliday proposed considering the sentence, clause, group, word, and morpheme as translation units from largest to smallest. Larger translation units allow for a more idiomatic translation. The document also discusses maintaining naturalness, accuracy, and deviations from language norms when necessary to reproduce the style of the original text.
07 paragraph development
The document discusses the key components and techniques for developing effective paragraphs. It defines a paragraph as a group of related sentences that express a single idea. The main components are a topic sentence, coherence through proper sentence connections, unity, adequate development, and conclusion or transition.

Expository paragraphs explain or provide instructions, while persuasive paragraphs aim to convince the reader of a particular viewpoint.
5th Grade - Summarizing and Paraphrasing
Summarizing and paraphrasing are methods to recap information from a text. Summarizing involves concisely restating only the most important ideas and main point in shorter form by omitting minor details, while paraphrasing restates all ideas and details from the text in one's own words at a similar length to the original. Both techniques help with comprehending and remembering information but differ in length and how many details are included.
Choosing the linguistic features
1) The document discusses the challenges of speaking in a second language and strategies to improve oral communication skills. It covers topics like sociocultural factors, turn-taking, accommodating listeners, and interactions between native and nonnative speakers.
2) Common speaking activities mentioned include storytelling, descriptions, self-reports, retelling, and discussions. The classroom is suggested to provide feedback, examples, integrate skills, and focus on pragmatic and contextual aspects of speaking.
3) Speaking a second language is difficult due to deciding spontaneous utterances without preparation amid sociocultural norms. Learners can develop compensatory strategies and learn turn-taking rules to maintain natural conversation flow.
Writing a Comparative Essay
The document provides guidance on writing a comparative essay, including understanding the prompt, brainstorming, finding a focus, writing an introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. It emphasizes thoroughly reading the assignment prompt, completing brainstorming before writing, selecting the three most important comparisons, including those points in a strong thesis statement, using either point-by-point or whole-by-whole formatting in the body paragraphs, and ending with a "so what" statement in the conclusion without restating the thesis. Revision involves ensuring each point reflects the thesis and having peers eliminate unnecessary elements and identify errors.

157 bab 1 text and non text
This document discusses the definitions and characteristics of text and non-text. It defines text as a sequential collection of sentences or utterances that form a unity through linguistic cohesion and semantic coherence. Text is the linguistic realization of proportional meanings as a connected passage that is situationally relevant. A non-text consists of random sequences of linguistic units that lack coherence and completion. The document also discusses seven standards of textuality according to Beaugrande and Dressler: cohesion, coherence, intentionality, acceptability, informativity, situationality, and intertextuality. Without meeting any of these standards, a communication would not be considered a text.
Paragraph structure and types

Paragraph development
This document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of written communication. The key advantages are that written communication allows for accurate presentation of information, creates permanent records, can be used for future reference, and delegation of authority. However, written communication also has disadvantages such as being time-consuming, expensive, difficult to maintain secrecy, and lack of flexibility. It also does not allow for prompt feedback or decision making. Overall, while written communication has benefits like permanence of records, it is generally slower than oral communication.
Information flow
This document discusses how to improve the flow of information in writing by using cohesive devices. Cohesive devices like transition words, repetition of key elements, and ordering of previously and newly introduced information help create a smooth flow that makes writing easier to understand. Transition words signal relationships between ideas and require choosing the most appropriate one. Repetition of topics and use of pronouns and synonyms creates unity. Ordering information from what is already known to new information matches reader expectations. Using these cohesive devices can help writing have a clear and easy flow.

Touchstone 2.1: Evaluate a Source
ASSIGNMENT:
For this essay, you will select one of the sources you have found through your preliminary research about your research topic. Which source you choose is up to you; however, it should be substantial enough that you will be able to talk about it at length, and intricate enough that it will keep you (and your reader) interested.
The introduction of this paper will involve introducing the source: Provide the author, the title, and the context (where you found the source, where it was originally published, who sponsored it, etc.)
You will then go on to evaluate the source on two levels:
Credibility:
Using the information in this unit as a guide, evaluate the source’s authenticity and reliability. Look at all the information that you can find about the source to establish the author’s (or sponsor’s) trustworthiness.
Usefulness:
Using a combination of summary and analysis, examine the source on a critical level. Determine what the source’s purpose (thesis) is, and how it arrives at that goal. Examine its value to you and the project you are working on. How will it help you prove your own points? How might it come in handy to back up a claim (or address a counter-claim)?
Finally, you will include a conclusion which shows your final assessments on both counts.

The document discusses paraphrasing and avoiding plagiarism when using secondary sources. It defines paraphrasing as restating an idea from a source in your own words while maintaining the overall meaning. To properly paraphrase, one must change both the vocabulary and sentence structure used while still citing the original source. Summarizing is condensing a source into a shorter statement, capturing the main ideas. Both paraphrasing and summarizing, when done correctly, help avoid plagiarizing others' work.

Orangutans by Shalee, Chad, Tyler and Susan
Orangutans are disappearing as loggers cut down thousands of trees in their habitats for timber. While some habitats are supposed to be protected, loggers are still destroying orangutan homes. If people watch over the protected habitats more closely and stop the loggers and illegal trading of orangutans, it could help the species survive for many more years.
Model argumentative post
This document discusses the negative effects of violent video games on children. It claims that violent video games can increase aggressive behavior in children and negatively impact their brain function and attention spans. The document provides evidence from a study that found playing a violent video game for 30 minutes had negative effects on brain activity in teenagers, while a non-violent game did not. Several medical organizations are cited that agree exposure to violent media can increase aggressive thoughts and behaviors in children long-term. The conclusion is that violent video games are inappropriate for young children and excessive game playing takes away from important childhood experiences and learning.
Argumentative Writing
The document provides an overview of argumentative writing, including the purpose of argument, the basic outline of an argument, and strategies for establishing a claim, providing a warrant with logic and examples, offering evidence through testimony and data, and concluding the argument. It discusses establishing a claim by arguing against another viewpoint, clarifying the claim, using logic to support a warrant, providing hypothetical, real, or literary examples, citing testimony from authorities or data from research, and concluding with a call to action or restating the opinion.

Website evaluation
The document provides guidance on evaluating websites for research purposes. It discusses checking the domain name to determine the sponsor's reliability. Key questions to consider include the 5 Ws: who wrote it, what is the purpose/content, when was it created/updated, where did the information come from, and why should it be trusted. Additionally, the appearance and functionality of the site should be examined to ensure it is professional, loads quickly, and is easy to navigate. The example shows a student evaluating two dragonfly websites, determining that the .edu site "Dragonflies of Kentucky" would be best for a research project due to more complete information and affiliation with an educational institution.
Blackout poetry
Blackout poetry involves taking a newspaper article and using a marker to blackout words, leaving behind new phrases and sentences that form a poem.

It advises that conferences should be two-way conversations where both the parent and teacher share information about the child's talents, needs, and progress. Parents should come prepared with questions about their child's performance, assignments, support at home and school. Following the meeting, the parent and teacher should make a plan to support the child's learning and schedule another check-in. The overall goal is an open discussion that benefits the child.

The document outlines a decades timeline project for students to research and present information on various categories across different decades. Students will choose from six categories to research in groups of 3-4. Each group will contribute to a decades wiki with at least one event per decade, media to represent each decade, and one local Grand Junction event. Students will create a multimedia timeline with a minimum of 10 events containing images, audio, or video. Resources provided include books, print materials, and electronic sources from which to find media that captures the essence of each decade. Guidelines are given for organizing work, conducting research as a team, meeting requirements, and providing image credits and attributions.
Your Digital Footprint
Your digital footprint is difficult to control because anything posted online can be instantly copied, shared, and edited by millions of people. Content posted to social media or other online sites may not remain private, as there is no way to fully remove something once it is online. It is important to consider how others may perceive any photos, posts, or other digital content you share due to the lack of anonymity online. Some tips for managing your digital footprint include reviewing and deleting any unflattering photos tagged of you, using privacy settings carefully, only posting positive content, and being selective about online connections.
Handout for Exploring Science Fiction
The document provides guidance for reading and exploring a science fiction book. It suggests identifying the major ideas and premises of the story before, during, and after reading. It prompts keeping a list of questions about characters, events, and problems that reflect current trends. It also recommends thoroughly researching one issue and choosing a project from various options to best fit one's learning style and the ideas in the book. A rubric is included to evaluate science fiction book projects.
Science Fiction

It is speculative literature that explores "what if" questions through imaginative worlds. Hard science fiction places importance on science concepts like space travel, genetics, and future technologies, while soft science fiction incorporates social sciences to explore themes about humanity, our place in the universe, and the potential impacts of science.
