FL2, Room 1003

Is it /bandwidth/ or /band width/? Should we hyphenate /beamwidth and 
low frequency/? Our first goal in this session will be to 
identifyclosed, open, and hyphenated compounds and learn how to handle 
compound nouns, compound adjectives, compound adverbs, prefixes, and 
suffixes. We'll explore the use of hyphens, en-dashes, and em-dashes to 
clarify meaning.

//

/Our second goal is to examine how we construct paragraphs. Many of us 
begin a new paragraph simply by pressing the indent key, but that the 
approach is unlikely to result in an effective and coherent unit of 
thought. Paragraphs are like paper chains; each link holds one idea to 
the next one. Without a sturdy chain, a paragraph falls apart. We will 
analyze weak paragraphs and learn how to transform them into successful 
transmitters of our message. /

//

If you would to submit questions and text samples on these two topics, 
please send them to Alice Levine (alevineed at aol.com) by May 14, so she 
can address them in the session.

/To be sure that there are enough handouts for all participants, please

workshop.///
