Today’s plan:
- Looking at Writing
- Handling Sources
- Workshopping Tim’s piece
As I was working through your writing this week, I found a couple of things that everyone should keep in mind. Let’s start with those.
I want to look at an older post I wrote on working with sources and direct quotation. As I’ve said, the trick with writing is learning to respond to other people’s ideas, and I want to give you a formula for doing that today.
Finally, we’re going to workshop Tim’s piece today. I asked everyone to identify a strength of the writing–a great phrase or sentence, a nice transition, a strategic verb. And I asked you to address a way we could make the writing more effective.
