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
email Jielun Sun (//jsun at ucar.edu//) if you plan to participate in this
workshop.///
