Writing Week#10

WRITING WEEK 10

Thank you.

Thank you to the trainees who did the hard work, wrestled with complex ideas, and produced an analysis of the TV commercial.

Well done.

This week, we will build on those thinking and writing skills.


Wrap Up

I made a few general comments based on your writing fyi.


Part 1

The first step is to read the slideshow. It talks about analogies.

For some people, this might be old news, and for others, it might be a refresher.



Part 2

This is a short video by a chap named Alan Watts. He is not famous, but he should be. He was the first person to talk about Buddhist ideas in North America in the public space and in the mass media.

  1. Watch this video.
  2. Take notes.
  3. Summarize the argument using the sentence pattern we learned last week.
  4. Evaluate the argument. Is his argument right or wrong? Why?


Part 3

Nothing to do?

Here's a cool idea? Rewrite your electric car analysis.
