Processing

After establishing further vocabulary prowess, we finished our quick mechanical review (comma splices and random apostrophes = bad).

For the next two classes, we will be spending quality time with process analyses, which can come in the directional or the informational form. After reading the process of bike riding, you were placed into groups to construct a directional process analysis skit on how to be a bad date. During the next block class, you will have some time to finish your skit and then you will perform this process for the class. From our reading and your creative flourished, you will have a better comprehension of process analysis writing and be able to better differentiate this mode of discourse during multiple choice and rhetorical analysis passages.
