Day 5: Coherence Strategies

Susan's notes from today's class

Review Pages 50-53 in the Hacker text (Rules for Writers by Diana Hacker) on Coherence.

Optional Practice: First, do KNO and word chains for the business analysts paragraph. Based on your highlight, diagnose the paragraphs problems. Then, revise the business analysts article for coherence.

How did your revision of the business analysts article go? You can view a revised version in this google doc.

Homework: Select one of the body paragraphs from one of your most recent papers (preferably one that you received negative feedback on) and check it for coherence. Look for word chains and identify KNO. Create a word document which includes three versions of your paragraph: original, mark-up, revised.
