Lecture 25: Effective Writing

Today we'll review aspects of effective writing. We'll focus on sentence clarity, strong vocabulary and the active voice.


One of our in-class activities will require us to analyse Obama's inaugural speech. We'll look for specific linguistic devices such as:

Repetition
Active voice
Passive voice
Vocabulary
Pronouns









Note: Please remember to bring all texts to Thursday's class for exam review.
