Q

The four parts of invention

A
  1. The whole process is hard, so don’t get discouraged.
  2. The whole process is a process, so do it step by step.
  3. The whole process starts with invention, so make it a point to start there.
  4. The whole process needs the central focus of a thesis statement.
88
Q

The two writing process models

A
  1. Product Model: Independent writing patterned after good models.
  2. Process Model: Interdependent writing in steps with feedback along the way so that improvements get made before a product is complete. The pressure of having to be right the first time is relieved.

Q

What is the significance of Peter Elbow’s critic and creator?

91

cause and effect (what are some of the causes of good nutrition?),

  2. When the material is scientific or requires a precision that is difficult for a lay person to achieve in his or her own words. Ex: complicated side effects from a drug under analysis.
  3. When the person being quoted has such authority that using his own words may be a significant part of making your case. Ex: Jesus’ own words.
  4. When the material is such that it would take a great many more words to put it in your own words.
