How to use this week

• Read one lecture page and solve its activity page on the same day.
• Keep one notebook page for purpose, audience, tone, evidence, and structure.
• Revise model sentence starters before attempting descriptive or argumentative answers.

Exam hints and traps

• Argument writing is not emotional shouting; it needs a clear claim and support.
• Influence writing focuses on changing reader attitude or action.
• Reflection is not summary alone; it must include learning, response, and insight.
• Lab manual writing values precision, sequence, and objective tone.
• Topic drift is a major writing error: every paragraph must support the central purpose.
