November 3rd English 102 Sec. 25

Homework

-Continue working on “Final for Now”

(Due November 19^th By Email To Lindsey Joyce)

-No class on the 17^th and 19^th

In Class

-Talked about different ways to organize your paper to better suit your thesis We discussed ten different orders:

-Chronological Order

-Reverse Chronological Order

-Cause & Effect Order

-Problem and Solution Order

-Climactic Order

-Anti-Climactic Order

-Process Order

-Classification

-Compare & Contrast

A) Block

B) Point by Point

-Spacial

*It is likely that you will use more than one of these different throughout your paper. For example, you may use Problem and Solution Order AND the Climactic Order. You would start with the least important or easiest problem and solution, and work your way towards the most important (Climax) of your topic.

-Did an exercise in class to choose what claims and arguments are most important for your thesis. Usually when brainstorming, the first claims that come to mind are usually the most important. Joyce suggests that you write down the first claims and arguments that come to your mind and from there craft an outline possibly. Yet that is just a suggestion for those having trouble.

GOOD LUCK!!!
