College Writing

College Writing Study Guide With an outline like this, we are ready to write our Analysis and Response essay. In the outline, there is proper MLA documentation that incorporates both texts’ points of view, and the summary of the two texts is kept to a minimum. Also, notice that there are new points in the outline, ones that aren’t included in the texts provided; our essay makes note of the First Amendment issues at play, the con- tinued con�licts between African American communities and law enforcement, and even the very na- ture of successful protests. In this way, we are adding to the conversation instead of repeating the same points that were provided. The conclusion wraps up with a call to action that encourages the reader to solve the problems that led to the protest; by doing this, we are assuming that the reader now agrees with our point of view, and the conclusion provides a plan for what’s next, rather than simply repeating the points that we just made. 6.4 Table of Key Terms Expository Writing Descriptive Writing SQ3R SOAPSTONE The “What” Game The “Doubting” Game The “Believing” Game Over-generalization Deductive Reasoning Post-Hoc Fallacies Begging the Question Either/Or Fallacy Begging the Question Straw Man Ad HominemArguments 6.5 Discussion Questions 1.
