EXERCISE 6Bad Academic

Writing You’ve probably come across some inef ective academic writing in school. Deciphering it was likely a challenge. It wasn’t your fault that you couldn’t understand the concepts—it was the writer’s fault. Find a passage of badly written academic writing and think about how it violates the principles of this chapter. List a few points about what it is doing wrong.

EXERCISE 9 Wordy Writing

Write two paragraphs of about 100 words each of wordy writing (yes, we want you to be wordy this time). Each paragraph should be on a dif erent topic. Use examples from all four of the categories discussed above. Have fun with this. Read them out to your classmates for laughs. After completing the exercise, never do this again, unless you’re writing comedy.

EXERCISE 10 Economical Writing

As a contrast to Exercise 9, this exercise requires you to write two economical paragraphs of about 100 words each on any topic. To help you become as economical as possible, we have two restrictions: do not use words longer than six letters or sentences longer than 10 words. Most students f nd this a challenge, since many everyday words are longer than six letters and many everyday sentences are longer than 10 words. One tip to make this exercise easier: write in the present tense (verbs won’t need the –ed ending in present tense). Nobody expects you to write in this extreme economical way all the time. But you’ll probably f nd moments in your writing when short, declarative sentences with simple diction work best. Exercise 9 and 10 represent the opposite ends of the economy↔wordiness continuum. Over time, you’ll f nd a comfortable position, hopefully closer to the economy side
