Welcome and Essential Questions

  • Page ID
  • Welcome!




    Welcome to Unit 4 Session 5.  In this session we'll wrap up our critical lens essays and our science fiction unit.  You'll learn about ways to cite quotations and complete a thorough revision process.

    Here are a few essential questions we'll consider in this session:

    • How might I widen the angle and narrow my focus for this writing? What sources should I investigate? What information should I collect?
    • Why is it necessary for me to summarize and synthesize information from a variety of sources?
    • Which rhetorical device might I use to make my writing more visible, audible, and imaginable? Why should I use this rhetorical device over another?
    • Why is it worthwhile to deliberate over the language I use to craft my own writing? What guides my language selection?
    • When should issues of correctness and registers of English impose restrictions or grant freedom for my writing?
