Writing Sophisticated NF Claims

Review of Today's Session: Writing Sophisticated Claims

Make a copy of this doc. Sophisticated claims

Remember the continuum of claims we learned today.
Other  examples of basic to sophisticated claims. Can you see which level is which?


Reading Classes: Next Friday, you will do your 'in class' summative paper on NF reading. Between now and then you must bring in an article that you plan to use, so I can approve it.  If you do not chose your own article, you will be given one in class on the day. - Not having time to read the article in advance will make this task harder. (You are welcome to think about your claim beforehand, but you will do the writing in class)

Well done - Your claims showed growth. We still have work to do to get them into the 'context' category...but we have made a great start.


Writing Classes
I am not in class tomorrow. You will use the session to draft out a pencil and paper outline for your finished feature article.  YOU MUST BRING THIS OUTLINE TO CLASS ON FRIDAY. (Your H/W is to make sure it is finished)

  3. That's not what I mean....
    I mean something that is different and I wouldn't have thought of it.

  6. By finishing the feature article outline, do you mean just putting the text and pictures where they will go, or did you mean actually writing out your entire article?

  7. Never mind. I realized that the outline is the paper outline you showed us in class the other day. :)
