Read: Chapter 10: Constructing Effective Sections
Exercise 10-3, 4, 5.
Structure of other sections.
From a journal that you read regularly,
find a section (introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, or
results and discussion) with at least several paragraphs and analyze its overall
structure in the way shown in this chapter. What kind(s) of structure did you
find? Then analyze the structures of three or four of its paragraphs and see
what types you find. Comment on the extent to which the two levels of structure
are consistent with the types you might expect from a section of that type. Make
copies for the others in the class to see.
