Scattered Ideas Coming Together

English 101: Introduction to College Writing – Spring 2013

Scattered ideas coming together: Visual design, a new draft of your essay, and your CP

1. Find an example of visual arrangement of a print text that changes the way you might read it. Make sure your example is print-based rather than just visual. Bring this example to class along with a typed paragraph describing both the choices the author made and how it might change a reader's experience. 

2. Write/Finish writing a new draft of your "Standing By" essay. Bring one print copy to class. Do not publish your essay on your blog. (Consider playing with the arrangement of your essay if you believe it will help readers understand your writing better. Use the examples from class today to get you thinking.)

3. Create a blog post and title it "Standing By CP." Write only your CP in this post before publishing it.

    CP stands for controlling purpose, the first of the course goals and outcomes in the yellow book, page 6.
