Revising Problem/Solution


Put your Problem/Solution draft onscreen. You must highlight the sections of your draft in the following ways. If any of these sections are lacking, work on them.


A thesis:  one sentence that contains both the problem and the solution.  This may be in your introduction, or it may be in the middle where you transition from problem to solution.  When it is written, highlight it in RED.

Statements to convince us of the importance of your problem. These would include the effects of your problem. Highlight these with green. If any of these use Logos, Ethos or Pathos, label them.         

Statements that analayze causes/reasons the problem exists. Highlight with grey.

Go back to the beginning and work on your hook.  Highlight it with yellow.    

Any statement that motivates us to help with the solution. Hightlight this with blue.

Your solutions. Pink.

At the end of class, save this file and continue to revise for tomorrow. Upload the highlighted version to Part 2 in Moodle.  Print a plain version for class tomorrow.

Homework:

1.  Draft #2 is due tomorrow. You need to print a version without all the highlights; upload the highlighted version to Part 2 of the Moodle link.

2.  TWFTD:  Choose a word related to your problem.  Look it up in the OED.
