Write For Power

• English Gold

2
Power Writing

• Write for Power is a tool to help any person,
  from the primary grades through adult life,
  develop and sharpen his writing skills by
  providing a method Writing for Power that
  will amplify the process and will actually result
  in writing with literacy and logic and
  pleasure!
• To eliminate the classical terminology of
  exposition such as topic sentences, major and
  minor details which may have seemed too
  abstract for many students and thus interfered
  with their development of a logical thought, the
  author applied a numerical value to word,
  phrases, sentences, and paragraphs. The approach
  seemed to unlock the process of writing at once
  for all types of people, at all ages.

3
Numeric Value

• By using three numbers, Power Writing assigns the
  value of
• 1st Power to main ideas, topic sentences, and
  topic paragraphs
• 2nd Power to major details that explain main
  ideas
• 3rd Power to minor details that elaborate upon or
  clarify major details.

4
Why are we learning this?

• Writing for Power will enhance Unity, Clarity,
  and Coherence. Write for Power will keep you on
  target. You will not ramble because each
  sentence must explain some preceding power until
  only 1st Power makes complete sense alone.

5
Stage 1 Word Power

• Word Power A 1st Power word serves as the most
  general, the umbrella word under which the 2nd
  Power words belong. Study these word
  combinations. Note one of the words has a number
  (1) for 1st Power and that the others have a (2)
  for 2nd Power.

6
Stage 1 Word Power Examples

• (1) boulevards
• (2) Wilshire
• (2) Sunset
• (1) subjects
• (2) English
• (2) history

• (1) parents
• (2) mother
• (2) father
• (1) countries
• (2) Portugal
• (2) Greece

7
Stage 1 - Assignment

• Create some word-power combinations of your own,
  using the following as 1st Power words
  countries, names, leaders, sports, islands, cars,
  movies, tools, sexes, subjects, companies, and
  foods.
• 1)Countries
• 2)USA
• 2)England

8
Stage 2 Phrase Power

• A dictionary defines a phrase as a sequence of
  two or more words conveying a single thought or
  forming a distinct party of a sentence, but NOT
  containing a subject and a predicate (no verb!).
  In the following examples note how words from the
  preceding stage 1 have now become power phrases,
  with 1st and 2nd power designations.

9
Stage 2 Phrase Power Examples

• (1) after-school activities
• (2) playing baseball
• (2) tutoring in the library
• (1) Spanish speaking countries

  Pacific, old cars, comedy movies, tools for the
  home, subjects in school, foods in the
  supermarket.
• 1) 80s Rock Bands
• 2) Van Halen
• 2) Def Leopard

12
Stage 3 4 Sentence Power

• Most English grammar books define a sentence as a
  group of words expressing a complete thought
  (subject verb!). Just as words and phrases had
  power, so do sentences in their relationships
  with each other. In Stage 3, phrases have now
  become sentences. For example
• 1)After school I like to do two things.
  2)For one, I like to play on the school baseball
  team. 2)For another, I like to help others by
  tutoring in the library.

13
Stage 4 Powergraphs (1, 2, 2)

• 3-sentence powergraphs
• 1st Power sentence MUST have the word two in
  it.
• 2nd Power sentences MUST include transitions or
  signal words.

Stage 5 Powergraphs (1, 2-3, 2-3)

• Now you expand your thoughts with use of 3rd
  Power Sentences following each 2nd Power
  Sentence.
• 3rd Power Sentences, known as minor details,
  elaborate, expand, and develop the 2nd Power
  sentences (major details).
• Use signals or transitions such as specifically,
  for example, in other words, for instance, etc.

16
Stage 5 Example (1, 2-3, 2-3)

• 1)Rain causes two problems at the
  construction site. 2)One is floods.

  concrete. 4)Another problem is mudslides. 5)For

  is a noun. They give detail to a sentence. They
  can help describe nouns or verbs. Therefore, as
  a phrase, they can be adjective phrases OR adverb
  phrases. They are sometimes known as BUSY
  PREPOSITIONS because they work so much
  throughout our writing.

  Trashcan
• Above, Across, Along, Around, at, before, on ,
  out, over, through, behind, below, beneath,
  besides, between, by, to, toward, under, for,

Interlopers - 19 7, 18, 16, 14

• Three points of irony Saki uses in
  The Interlopers. First, it is ironic that
  natures violence takes over before their own.
  Specifically, to have shot each other was the
  objective of both Ulrich and Georg. A second
  instance of irony is when the men become friends.
  Said Ulrich, Neighbor if you will help me bury
  this old quarrel, I will ask you to be my
  friend. Finally, a last situational irony is
  found when they are going to be eaten by wolves.
  Eaten by the wolves, their conflict is resolved.
  In conclusion, the irony in The Interlopers
  makes this a very engaging story.
