Review Ch.8

Use examples to explain, convince, or amuse.



Use examples that are vivid, specific, and representative.

1. Vivid examples arreact attention.

2. Specific examples are identifiable.

3. Representative examples are typical and therefore the basis for generalization.



Tie your examples clearly to your theisi.



Draw your examples form what you have read, heard, and experienced.



Brainstorm a list or cluster of possible examples before you write.



The order and number of your examples will depend on the purpose atated in your topic sentence or thesis.



Good luck on the test. =)

  1. On the tests I have done really well in the beginning but towards the end it went down pretty badly. Thankfully I have the final to bounce my grade back up.
