This will go through different needs of blog readers in general, ways to fill that need, and how I feel about each one in regards to my own blog/business. </p> http://www.unstressedsyllables.com/forum/topic/writing-exercise-instructions-6#post-11 Mon, 18 Jan 2010 18:26:20 +0000 Aaron Pogue 11@http://www.unstressedsyllables.com/forum/ <p>This week we finish our series on document structure, so I'd like us to take a moment to remember what that structure looks like.</p> <p>For your writing exercise this week, I want you to outline an argument. This argument can be the thesis of an essay or a defense of your position vis a vis your roommate's dirty dishes. It can be the message of a document you're working on right now, or a proposal you've been wanting to make to your boss.</p> <p>Whatever the point you're trying to make, you can make it stronger with a little structural design. So make an outline! Big Roman numeral I is "Introduction," so use your A, B, and C to describe how you're going to introduce your topic. Then give another numeral for each of your body points -- supporting evidence -- and draw your argument's conclusion within your document's conclusion.</p> <p>As you build your argument, pay careful attention to the order and relationship among your body points, and see how it compares to last week's discussion of organization methods. </p>
