Understanding Patterns of Organizational for Academic Reading and Writing

Today, we will learn more about organizational patterns and how they work when we are writing as well as how authors use them and they impact our reading.  Click link here: https://valenciacollege.edu/students/learning-support/winter-park/communications/documents/OrganizationalPatternsinAcademicWriting.pdf

Re-read the Sample Restrictive Covenant Letter. Identify at least 3-4 methods or patterns of organization in the letter. Which patterns does the author use to persuade Mr. Wagner to sign the restrictive covenant? 

Which methods will you use to revise your letter?

Independent Reading Projects--Idea Generation (periods 1 and 2)
