Expressive Command

What you will develop¶

Control what the reader knows, expects, and notices from sentence to sentence and paragraph to paragraph.

Before you begin¶

Recorded prerequisites:

• Grammar & Sentence Architecture
• Diction, Semantics, Idiom & Lexical Precision

Study and practice¶

This is a study outline. A complete practice sequence is not yet available.

• topic/focus
• old-to-new information
• given/new
• reference
• transition
• paragraph unity
• progression
• emphasis
• periodic/cumulative movement

Arrange sentences so given information leads readers toward new information with minimal processing confusion.¶

Reconstruct

Build paragraphs with a discernible controlling movement rather than a pile of related statements.¶

Transfer

Control pronoun/reference chains, transitions, parallel structure, and emphasis across multiple paragraphs.¶

Break / Bound

Rewrite a confusing passage by changing order and information structure without simplifying the underlying idea.¶

Check / Defend

Intended demonstration¶

Reorder/revise passage + unseen exposition problem

This describes the intended standard, not a validated assessment or a claim of mastery.
