Tenth Writing Technique Reading and Exercise

For
this class you are working on a number of dimensions of good writing, one of
which is effectively writing with readers in mind. The book by Graff and
Birkensten, They Say, I Say,(hereafter
referred as “Graff”) is intended to learn structures for presenting ideas with
readers as the point of the writing. Therefore, every week you’ll be assigned
chapters to read and, following the reading, exercises to complete.

Below is the next activity.

Read Chapter Ten of Graff (pp 129-137).

Next,
refer to your research sources in your annotated bibliography. Write a
paragraph — one that will then appear in the body of your research paper
— that makes use of
TWO of the metacommentary templates offered you on pages 135, 136 and 137.
Choose what’s most relevant for your own argument and paper. Exact words matter
less than capturing the sense of making metacommentary.

Of
course, be sure your paragraph uses correct
MLA style in-text citations.
