Handouts

In the English 201 morning class I handed out four documents and then reviewed the 3-part thesis which Thomas said looked like a syllogism. Perhaps he can explain what he meant here. See Hacker's chapter on argument.

Topic: Student success

Although some students enter college unprepared, one cannot say this means they'll fail, because given the proper support and resources studies have shown they succeed.

Oh, homework is to catch up. Students have not responded to the assignment on Bay Diamonds or the one before this on Chaper 5 in Dyson. Do not post both in the same place, this was a mistake.

Comments:
I was trying to think of a way to make the writing process simpler and more intuitive. The hands-outs you gave out were confusing and hurt my brain. They had too many rules.
 
As I said in the email Thomas. If you don't need the "topical invention" strategies or the "3-part thesis" strategy to help you develop thesis sentences, don't worry about it. Some writers need such tools.

Professor sabir, thanks for the help after school last wednesday about the three part essay. It seemed like I had it, but yet it became confusing.
