English Writing II Warm-up Activities Introduce your university/dormitory/classroom... What’s your overall impression of the university? Which building or location catches your attention first? Which place do you want to describe next? And then? What do you want to describe last? What order does your description follow? Why do you choose this order? Reference : In a paragraph describing your university, you might develop the paragraph by space in several different ways: 1) You might use some important landmark, for example, the library, and describe other locations in relation to it. The order in which you discuss each location is not as important as their relationships with the landmark. 2) You might use an important landmark as the starting point and move from it to the next location, on to another, and so on, perhaps ending back at the original landmark. 3) Another type of development by space might stress the boundaries of an area. The order in which these are listed is not necessarily important so long as there is a logical progression from location to location. 4) Still another spatial development might stress the inter-relationships between locations. Unit 3 Places In this unit emphasis will be laid on the organizational features of description by space or spatial order. Part II Development by Space Development by space order: left to right, right to left, near to far, far to near, low to high, high to low, etc. Pages 26-27 Read sample 2 and sample 3and finish the following tasks. 1.
