Did you read "Communications"? Do you see how it has a point about what is being described?
We look at sentences and Section 24 in Everyday Writer. I explain subordination and coordination and you take notes.
Make up two short sentences about sports.
Now you combine them.
Do Ex. 24.1 from page 27 in the Everyday Writer exercise book in your daybook. Recopy the paragraph using subordination and coordination to make it read more smoothly.
Homework:
1. Draft #2 due tomorrow, typed. Look at your sentences. Is there variety in length and structure? Run spell check. Be sure all your details help to make your point. You should be certain what your point is! Make sure your draft will be accessible in the computer lab on a computer, in a readable file. Also bring a hard copy to class.
2. TWFTD: obnoxious in the OED. Notice how meaning has changed.
And remember "context"?
