9. Putting it All Together - Writing




Let's now put it all together from:

  • Understanding the question
  • Planning
  • Writing using:
    • Structure
    • Correct style
    • Correct development of arguments/discussion points.

The best way to show you this is to do a complete piece. Let's do two. An argumentative and then a discussion piece.

ARGUMENTATIVE

A high flying executive stole over $6 million from her employer used a portion of that money to fund clinical trials of a new drug that has helped save the lives of over 12 babies born with severe neurological illnesses, including her own. This former executive has been lauded as both a hero but also hated. Do you think it is wrong to obtain money for a worthy cause at any cost? Why/why not?

DISCUSSION

Students should be able to grade their teachers. Discuss the benefits and disadvantages of allowing this practice.

Key Rules to remember:

  • Remember to plan your writing and to follow your plan.
  • Writing is about completing a cohesive piece, not disjointed pieces stuck together.
