  5. Narration • Tells story; recounts events; personal • Chronological (detail, pov, dialogue) • Craft story to support thesis • Often used as a way to enter topics • Draws a reader in

  6. Description • Paints a picture with senses; details • Establishes mood/atmosphere • Empathy; connection to text

  7. Process Analysis • Explains how something works • Clear and logical • Proper transitions • Concise verbs

  8. Causal Analysis • Cause leads to an effect • Effect that results from a cause • Needs logic • “Why” in the title

  9. Identify the Modes

  10. Causal Analysis • What Causal Analysis Does: • Focuses on explanations • Shows a connection between a situation and its cause or effect • Answers the question: • 1) “Why did this happen?” • OR • 2) “What will this do?” Explanation of CAUSE Prediction of EFFECT

  11. Causal Analysis: When & how to Use • How to use: • Know the difference between necessary, sufficient, and contributory cause • Make your purpose clear • Be modest in your choice of subject • Concentrate on immediate rather than remote cause • Don’t be arrogant about cause • Use common sense in asserting cause • When to use: • Trying to explain WHY something happened • Trying to predict the likely results if an event does or does not occur Cause Situation Effect

  12. Causal Analysis: When & how to Use • How to use: • Know the difference between necessary, sufficient, and contributory cause • Necessary Cause: • must be present for the effect to occur • But, it alone cannot make the effect occur • EX: Irrigation is necessary for a crop of good grapes, but irrigation alone will not cause a good crop. What else is necessary?

  13. Causal Analysis: When & how to Use • How to use: • Know the difference between necessary, sufficient, and contributory cause • Sufficient Cause: • can produce a given effect by itself. • EX: An empty gas tank can keep a car from running even though other problems may be present. List three other “Sufficient” causes: 1. 2. 3.

  14. Causal Analysis: When & how to Use • How to use: • Know the difference between necessary, sufficient, and contributory cause • Contibutory Cause: • Might produce an effect but cannot produce the effect by itself • EX: Vitamin E may help a long distance runner win a race, but cannot by itself determine the performance of a runner who got a bad start, didn’t train well, etc. The runner may also win the race without the help of Vitamin E. List three other “contributory” causes: 1. 2. 3.

  15. Causal Analysis: When & how to Use • How to use: • Know the difference between necessary, sufficient, and contributory cause • Few causes are “sufficient”; most are merely necessary or contributory • Do not say: “A vegetarian diet will prevent cancer.” • Do say: “A vegetarian diet is a contributing factor in preventing cancer.” • Qualifying statements: “may be”, “is one of the reasons,” “is a major cause,” “is influenced by,”etc.
