Assignment task:
Please respond with your own thoughts on "You may have noted that some of the clearer sentences had passive verbs. This seems to contradict familiar advice from English teachers to avoid them. Followed mindlessly, that advice will make your sentences less clear. Rather than worry about active and passive, as a simpler question: Does your sentences begin with familiar information, preferably a main character? If you put familiar characters in your subjects, you will use the active and passive properly."
Also please respond with your own thoughts on "For your paper to seem more coherent, readers must see a few key concepts running through all of its parts. You might find them among the terms you used to categorize your notes, but they must include keywords from the sentences stating your problem and main point."
Also please respond with your own thoughts on "If you think readers might question your warrant, make and argument supporting it"
Also please respond with your own thoughts on "Ernest Hemmingway said that you know you're writing well when you discard stuff you know is good -but not as good as what you keep."
