Hi everyone,
I would like to cover the chapter that you read about style this week on the blog, since we didn’t have time to talk about it in class.
Please choose one (or a combination) of the following questions and respond:
a. p. 208-211 in the St. Martin’s Guide: What do you think about the copying exercises recommended in the book? Would you try them? Why or why not? How might they be useful to ESL students (or not)?
b. Style-shifting: Could the style shifting concept be used for language shifting?
c. What is the danger of letting students use different (non-academic, non-literary styles)? Isn’t it our job to teach them academic writing? (p. 216)
