Style
Step 1: Engage and Explore
My audience for this mini lesson is high school students at the junior and senior level. I will engage them by presenting an entertaining Youtube video.
Step 2: Explain
"Style" can be a difficult concept to grasp since many of the problems are in fact gramatically correct. I will start by explaining what most instructors consider to be major problems in writing that can confuse readers and what can interfere with arguments.
Step 3: Extend
I will extend my mini lesson by showing examples of sentences with ideas that can be expressed more directly, elegantly, and persuasively. I will show students how they can locate certain problems in their work, and offer techniques to help correct those problems.
Step 4: Evaluate and E-search
There will be a short quiz about eliminating wordiness. Here is the link for the quiz: http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/quizzes/nova/nova8.htm
