MAIN POST

This week, you will submit a formal outline for your argumentative research paper, which is due next week. To help you think about outlines, you will read one of two readings, answer a critical question about it, and then apply the author’s ideas to how you will plan your paper. Finally, you will review three sample outlines and decide which to use for your paper.

Before you begin this discussion, review the feedback you have received so far on your Week 1 and Week 2 discussions and assignments.

First, for this discussion, choose one of the following two readings and answer the associated question (100+ words). Be sure to quote and cite from the reading in your response:

• Option 1 – Tannen, D. (2014). Sex, lies and conversation: Why is it so hard for men and women to talk to each other? In G.H. Muller (Ed.), The McGraw-Hill reader: Issues across the disciplines pp. 117-122. McGraw-Hill.
  • p. 122, “Writing,” Question 3: Writing an Argument: Tannen states, “Once the problem is understood, improvement comes naturally.” Argue for or against this position.
• Option 2 – Gekernter, D. (2014). Unplugged: The myth of computers in the classroom. In G.H. Muller (Ed.), The McGraw-Hill reader: Issues across the disciplines pp. 212-215. McGraw-Hill.
  • p. 214, “Rhetoric,” Question 3; The essay has a three-part structure, each section divided by space. How would you characterize the purpose of each section? How does the author use transitions to move from one section to the next?

Second, consider how the author organized the essay. For instance, look at aspects such as counterarguments, paragraph transitioning, and integrating research. What can you apply, especially when it comes to planning or outlining your paper? Avoid focusing on what the author wrote. Focus instead on how the author wrote. What is one trait this writer demonstrates that you would like to imitate in your own essay? (100+ words)Third, review the three versions of outlines for writing. Explore the merits of each type of outline. Identify which version you believe would most support your intended major writing assignment for this course. (100+ words)

Prewriting and Outlining for the Narrative Essay

This week, you will be preparing for next week’s essay: the narrative. Take a moment and review the directions for the Week 3 narrative essay. Once you have a topic you want to write your narrative about, you will complete this three part assignment.

Part I: Respond to Questions

These questions are intended to guide you through your free write and outline and are part of the preparation for your narrative essay.

1.    What specific event do you want to write about that had a lasting impact on your life?

2.    In one sentence, describe the event.

3.    Where and when did it happen?

4.    What people were involved in the situation?

5.    What people are your audience? Who would want to read your narrative? [Note: The answer to this question should not be “everyone” or “my instructor/classmates.” See Chapter 5 of your textbook for ideas on choosing your audience.]

6.    What message do you want to convey to your audience?

Part II – Prewriting

Now expand the answers to your questions. Take 10-15 minutes to free write about your topic. Chapters 4 and 5 in your textbook can help you decide what kind of free writing you want to do, but don’t feel restricted by one genre. Write down everything that pertains to your topic, including questions your readers might have. Don’t worry about grammar or sentence structure; this is a brainstorming activity.

Part III: Outline

Next, create an outline as a preliminary structure for the narrative essay. Use several of the outlining rules on pp. 111-115 of The Writer’s Way, but be sure to include the following:

·         Outline in three to five parts only (rule no. 1)

·         Don’t describe; summarize (no. 5)

·         Outline whole sentences only (no. 8)

You may use as many of the other rules as you feel necessary. The goal is to present a structure for how your final essay may look. As such, an outline is not a series of paragraphs or a rough draft. Here is a sample free write and outline that you can use to help you get started.
