The Modes of Discourse

Bell Work: Parts of speech A noun is person, place, animal, thing, or idea. A verb shows action. For example: Ms. Dorra teaches English at Fordson High school. The nouns in this sentence are: Ms. Dorra, English, and Fordson High School. The verb is: teaches Now, create your own sentence with at least one noun and one verb.

Modes of Discourse: Discourse: written or spoken communication or debate Narration Description Process Analysis Exemplification Comparison and Contrast Classification and Division Definition Cause and Effect

Narration Refers to telling a story or recounting a series of events. It can be based on personal experience or on knowledge gained from reading or observation. Narration typically includes concrete details, a point of view, and sometimes elements of dialogue (conversation). Writers use narration as a way to enter into their topics. Ie: anecdote

Description Is similar to narration because both use specific details. However, unlike narration, description emphasizes the senses by painting a picture of how something looks, sounds, smells, tastes, or feels. Used to establish a mood or atmosphere. A clear vivid description can make writing more persuasive.

Process Analysis Explains how something works, how to do something, or how something was done. The key to successful process analysis is clarity: - It’s important to explain a subject clearly and logically, with transitions that mark major steps, stages, or phases of the process. Many self help books are essentially process analysis.

Exemplification Providing a series of examples--facts, specific cases, or instances--turns a general idea into a concrete one; this makes your argument both clearer and more persuasive to a reader.

Comparison and/or Contrast A common pattern of development is comparison and contrast: juxtaposing two things to highlight their similarities and differences Writers use comparison and/or contrast to analyze information carefully, which often reveals insights into the nature of the information being analyzed.

Classification and Division It is important for readers as well as writers to be able to sort material or ideas into major categories. By answering the question, “What goes together and why?” writers and readers can make connections between things that might otherwise seem unrelated.

Definition So many discussions depend upon definition. Defining a term is often the first step in a debate or disagreement.

Cause and Effect Analyzing the cause that lead to a certain effect or, on the other hand, the effects that result from a cause is a powerful foundation for argument. Since causal analysis depends upon crystal clear logic, it is important to carefully trace a chain of cause and effect and to recognize possible contributing causes.

In your groups… Come up with a thorough and clear example of your assigned mode of discourse. We will share in the discussion circle. HW: Choose one mode of discourse, and create a written response no more than 1 paragraph. With a highlighter, highlight the elements of that mode.
