Today we will talk more about academic writing. We will introduce the topics of tone, audience, and purpose and how differ among various types of writing. We will also talk about our personal writing process and the steps that we take (or should take) before, during, and after we write an academic paper.
For more information on the writing process, you can refer to the handout I will give to you at the end of class, and read pages 2-39 in the Hacker text (optional).
If you haven't already, upload the writing process activity that we worked on in class to Dropbox. I only need one copy per group, so make sure both of your names are on it.
Next week, we're going to discuss paragraphs. Read Hacker pages 40-57 for Monday.
