Your Introduction Letters are due Monday.  Don't forget that your letter is due at the beginning of the period on Monday.  If you don't have it printed and ready to turn in when you walk into class, it is late. Be sure to review your syllabus regarding late work for major assignments.

Here's the direct link to the sample letter in block format on the OWL.

This week we reviewed Patterns of Development.  I asked you to remember that we will use several different words interchangeably to refer to patterns:  structure, order, organization, form, arrangement.

The 8 patterns you should know well are Narration, Description, Example, Definition, Comparison/Contrast, Process Analysis, Causal Analysis, and Division/Classification.  Here are Quizlet Flashcards to help you review.

We took notes in class on Friday about these patterns.  If you already have your textbook, you can find  detailed information about them on pages 17-25.  Here are a couple of links to sites you can use to review:

Questions to ask about each (only the first 8; exclude persuasion)
These are the examples found in the textbook we used in class.
