Before you start: Choose a sample of your own writing from an essay you wrote in a previous college-level course. Copy and paste 2-5 paragraphs of the sample at the top of your post. Then, below your sample, respond to the following prompt:

Prompt: Use ideas and tips from the Helen Sword and/or Lawrence Weinstein chapters in order to reflect on the qualities of style in your writing sample (that is, in the paragraphs you selected from your previous writing). How would you characterize the style of your writing? Using Sword’s terms, in what ways–for better and for worse–is your style “academic”? As far as Sword’s work is concerned, what stands out in your writing as “stylish”? What advice from Sword and Weinstein could you use to make your writing more engaging, more individual, more effective?

Length Requirement: 250 words minimum. *Note: Your 2-5 paragraph sample is separate from this word count. But you knew that 🙂

Quotes Required: 1Your post should include at least one direct quote from the Helen Sword and/or Lawrence Weinstein reading. You may quote Sword, Weinstein, and/or any of the authors they cite. After each quote, use parenthetical citations of the MLA variety. For example, after quoting a passage from the chapter, your parenthetical citation should look like this (Weinstein 127). This basic citation includes the authors last name and the page number (no commas or abbreviations here). If you are quoting one of Swords examples, it should look like this (Stevenson qtd. in Sword 44). Here, we include the original authors name and the abbreviation qtd. in as shorthand for quoted in.
