Module 1 Discussion

Analyzing Grammar

For your initial post this week, you will be completing Step 1 for an activity based on the required Hulst reading, “Grammar, Rhetoric, and Style.”  downloadIn the essay, Hulst analyzes examples from several types of texts: a manual from the video game Fallout 3, an academic essay, an academic article from the sciences, and his own essay. 

For your initial post this week, your assignment is to share a paragraph or short section from any text you would like—and you should be creative. It can be from a cookbook, from a magazine article, or from a manual. In your post, simply share the selection and make sure you properly cite it according to APA formatting guidelines. 

Connect with Classmates

In your responses to classmates, your assignment is to provide a short analysis of the selection your classmate shared using the Hulst essay as a model. In the essay, Hulst analyzes the texts for sentence structure, word choices, and other elements of style. Your goal is to provide similar analysis for your classmate’s chosen selection. Your responses should be a full paragraph.

And, remember, there are no right or wrong answers. Just do your best to model Hulst and have some fun while doing it.
