For Tuesday's class, read "Swimming with Canoes" by John McPhee (handout).
Discussion Board:
What three characteristics of writing stand out the most in McPhee's essay? How does the essay use these characteristics as a strategy for effective writing?
The things that grab me in that essay wer the descriptive language and the sentence structure. The tone is calm and relaxing. The detail description takes you to this amazing canoe trip. On places the sentence structure is unusual holding your interest without boring you with old clishes. The tone helps the reader to feel the calmness of the water. ~Nikoleta
