Polishing Ideas: The Canon of Style
"Polishing Ideas: The Canon of Style" Gong and Dragga demonstrate the importance of recognizing your own writing style and the reasons for sometimes adapting a different style to suit your purpose, the audience, and the situation. In an essay of about 400 words, explain how you would adapt for a general audience a piece of technical or specialized writing (from an academic subject, professional field, or special interest publication). Discuss specifically how you would determine choices of vocabulary, sentence length, and sentence structure in making this adaptation.
