Class Feb 3

DEMONSTRATION

I showed the class a paragraph I wrote about the sportsmen (as though I were also writing a Summary/Strong Response Paper). Here's a link to the paragraph.

Notice that I start with two topic sentences; I finish the paragraph with a concluding sentence. In between, I 1) introduce example; 2) provide example; and 3) follow up example with analysis and explanation. I do this over and over throughout the paragraph.

Also note that my quotes are short.

Since I was analyzing word choice, I included many short examples. In your own paper, you may choose to use one or two longer examples in a paragraph instead, but you would still follow the same pattern: introduce example, provide example, and analyze example.
