Question

friday 01/19 dual - credit sub plan worksheet: ch 10 metacommentary (8 pts) read pages 138 - 146. then, complete questions 1, 2, 3a, & 3b. 1. choose at least two of the letter options below to complete. complete each of the following metacommentary templates in any way that makes sense: a. in making a case for raising the minimum wage, i am not saying that __. b. but my argument will do more than prove that one particular industrial chemical has certain toxic properties. in this essay, i will also . c. my point about the national obsession with sports reinforces the belief held by many that . d. i believe, therefore, that the war is completely unjustified. but let me back up and explain how i arrived at this conclusion: __. in this way, i came to believe that this war is a big mistake. 2. read the following passage from pau gasols 2018 essay, “an open letter about female coaches.” you can find the link to the full essay on theysayiblog.com. underline where gasol uses the moves of metacommentary to guide his readers through the main text of his argument. does the author use any of the chapters templates (see p. 144)? how do you think the authors use of metacommentary enhances (or harms) his writing? the reason i wanted to start by telling you about my parents, is that their story makes me think about todays nba. specifically about how, in the 72 - year history of the league, there has never been a female head coach. even more specifically, it makes me think of becky hammon: a coach who has been the topic of much conversation lately, and who ive had the opportunity to play for in san antonio. but if you think im writing this to argue why becky is qualified to be an nba head coach... well, youre mistaken. that part is obvious: one, she was an accomplished player - with an elite point guards mind for the game. and two, she has been a successful assistant for arguably the greatest coach in the game. what more do you need? but like i said - im not here to make that argument. arguing on coach hammons behalf would feel patronizing. to me, it would be strange if nba teams were not interested in her as a head coach. 3. then, revisit your steel paragraphs and try the following: a. locate a part that needs more clarification or elaboration. revise using the metacommentary templates included in this chapter. write your revised sentences below. b. compose a title and subtitle that functions as metacommentary on your whole argument. for example, my paragraph on universal healthcare might be: universal healthcare for a happier, healthier, and more stable america (im not saying it will be easy) write your title and subtitle for your steel paragraphs below:
