3 Building an argumentBy the end of this session, you should have a better understanding of how to:
- critically examine approaches to structuring an essay
- consider how these features can be applied to other types of assignment
How you structure an assignment depends on a number of factors: the nature of the task and topic, your own preferences and line of thinking etc. In general, texts are well-strucutured when the contents are not only divided into paragraphs, but when the paragraphs themselves are sequenced in such a way that they show a coherent line of thought or argument. It is also helpful if the structure of the essay is made clear to the reader, for example, through the use of headings, topic sentences and clear signposting language.
4 Communicating ClearlyBy the end of this session, you should have a better understanding of how to:
- improve your writing at a 'macro' level
- edit your writing for minor errors of spelling, grammar, formatting and punctuation
As you write, you may need to revise and edit your text at several stages. After producing a first draft, for example, you should consider the overall approach and structure of your text: - Is your message clear?
- Have you developed an effective argument?
- Have you provided an adequate context for your answer?
Once you have produced a final draft, you will need to check for errors of spelling, grammar, formatting and punctuation.声明: 此资料仅作交流、分享只用,内已注明资料来源,如有侵权,请谅解!设置论坛币,仅为维持生计,抱歉!
