Target: to analyze the organizing strategies of two more sample Cause and Effect essays
1. Read Malcolm Gladwell's "The Tipping Point" and then Stephen Jay Gould's "Sex, Drugs, Disasters, and the Extinction of Dinosaurs". Annotate for main ideas, diction, and details. Syntax, too, if you want.
2. With your partner, discuss what stands out to you both about the texts. Then write it down for me.
3. Then, answer this question: How is the essay organized? Write down in one paragraph an analysis of how the structure of each essay helps the writer achieve his purpose.
Turn this in by the end of the period.
