Grades. We will start the week by catching up on any missing work. I will return the 1984 papers, and we will begin looking at the issues I see within these papers. They will include: making sure you have a clear, articulate claim; provide context for your direct quotes; eliminating wordiness (indef. pronouns, prepositions, helping verbs); inflated phrases (one can clearly see/it can be seen).
HW: A revision of the essay will be due one week from today, on Monday. We will get back into GE on Wednesday. You should have read chapters 42-43 by Thursday.

Introductions and conclusion. Lecture on historical overview, anecdote, surprising statement, and common ground introductions, as well restating, universalize, consequences, vivid images, quotes for conclusions. Remember, the introduction is the reader’s map to what you think and why you think it (your claim and a preview of your reasons), and the conclusion a summary of the claim’s consequences or a supposition of what’s next.
HW: Read chapter fourty-two and three by class on Thursday.

Lecture on cohesion (or cueing the reader, as our handout calls it). Overview of cohesion techniques, including: transitional statements, synonyms, collocations, relationships (spacial, logical, visual, chronological, cause/effect, action/consequence, parallel sentence structures. We will also listen to chapter 41/2.
