Style Assignment

Hello All:

With our conversation from last Friday about “Style” in mind, find one example of “good” writing and one example “bad” writing and email them to me by 5 p.m. on Tuesday. These examples should be more than one sentence long, but no more than a paragraph. Look for examples in your everyday reading: newspapers, advertisements, instructions, warranties, any form of printed text that you think might qualify. Finally, explain in one or two sentences why you think each of your selections qualifies as “good” or “bad" style.

From your submissions I’ll collect 5 or 6 "good" and "bad" examples for us to talk about at our next meeting on Wednesday.

Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions!
