    My goodness. Years of reading theory and despairing over my failures to write a single comprehensible thing about literature, and all I needed to do was watch a 12-minute video on TH-cam. Thank you for flicking the light switch in my brain!

    I played this in class for my students (on the Smartboard) who need to pass an opinion style essay question for a standardized test. They found your approach quite helpful. I paused it at various points to piggy-back on what you were saying to focus it to the specifics of the particular task they have. Your clear and informed style of presenting made this easy to do. Thank-you!

    I sincerely appreciate this video: Most videos on this subject simply give the same rudimentary structure of essays -- and or analysis specifically -- but you actually gave an insightful line of reasoning. I am unsure if you have ever taught of learned rhetorical techniques, but you speak very similarly to a debate coach I know, and you exemplify all the ideals and techniques my coach tells me about: You speak clearly and deliberately by selecting your words, you give a clear link-chain of how ideas relate to their impacts, and you signpost each and every part of what you are doing. I don't know if you still, or ever, read comments, but thank you for your work.

    Thank you for making these videos. I've always wanted to be a good writer because I've always been enthralled by writing from shows amd books I've loved. However I never knew how to approach it.
    I'm studying to become an electrical engineer and am in my junior year. I realized what writing skills I have now are not very great, and will get worse since I'll no classes and so teachers to help improve them.
    So sincerely, thank you so much. I've watched your videos multiple times to help drive your points home, and I feel so much more confident in going forward as a result. 🙂

    • @WritingwithAndrew

      I'd heart this twice if I could--thanks for taking the time to share this! I'm happy to hear these videos have been helpful to you: that's exactly why I'm making them. As long as you keep practicing, you'll keep getting better. Plus, you recognize the value of writing--so you're lightyears ahead of most 😉

    • @WritingwithAndrew

      Probably start by looking at the things that stakeholders do in the contexts you've listed (what?) and then continue by explaining the implications of what you observe or identify (so what?)

    Greetings Andrew, I am an English and Literature teacher (Secondary School) and I loved your pen analogy - especially as I am quite partial to ye olde days fountain pens myself. I hope you don’t mind if I borrow this as I try to move students beyond the ubiquitous and often ill-fitting TEEL! I have now subbed and will take some break time to check out your other insights. Cheers.

    • @WritingwithAndrew
      @WritingwithAndrew  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      As a place to start, rather than saying the thing you're analyzing has "many colors," be specific and name them. Ideally, your reader will know what you're talking about even if they haven't seen the thing you're analyzing

  • @pauls7056
    @pauls7056 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Andrew, you suggested letting you know if there are other writing topics you should consider discussing. How about 5 versatile and powerful prefixes and suffixes, what they mean and how to use them most effectively?
    I did a search on your site. The search showed zero. That said, after posting this, if I try it again I'll probably find 100!
    But, if you have not addressed this subject, it would be fascinating to get your insight and if you consciously use them or recommend them and, in what situations? Or, if you take the view that they are simply parts of existing words and have no value as a topic by themselves. Thank you.

    • @WritingwithAndrew
      @WritingwithAndrew  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's a really interesting suggestion. It's probably something that I've thought more about in terms of growing my vocabulary, etc. than anything that's consciously in my head when I sit down to write. But, of course, knowing the language is part of the process. I'll see what I can do--thanks!

    How could you present your thought process effectively without sounding conversational or informal

    • @WritingwithAndrew
      @WritingwithAndrew  ปีที่แล้ว

      That probably comes down to tone or style in writing. The difference, for example, between saying, "The fact that umbrellas block rain suggests that they would effectively keep someone dry" sounds more academic (if not overly so) than "Umbrellas keep people dry because they block rain." Either works, honestly, but the first gets the job done with a more formal style

      I'm not familiar with the term, but it sounds like a more specific kind of analysis. These are the basic general steps of analytical writing, but different kinds of analysis will push you to pay attention to different particular aspects of something

    • @WritingwithAndrew
      @WritingwithAndrew  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      It means that, if the ultimate goal of the thing you're analyzing is to motivate someone to do something (for example, buy a product), how do the different details of the advertisement work to make someone want to buy the product? Don't just say that the details do something--explain how they do it
