Part I: Throughout this unit, we have discussed ways that illustrations can help to convey a point or to exemplify an idea that a writer is trying to communicate. No doubt, you find yourself in situations all the time in which you must use illustrations. Think about a time when you conveyed a point to someone—a friend, relative, coworker, or colleague—and used an exceptionally apt illustration to drive home a point. You can also write about a time that someone provided you with an enlightening example that crystalized an idea for you. You might also choose to write about how you use illustrations in your daily life.

 

 

 

Do you use illustrations to teach others? How have you used examples to win an argument, teach your child a difficult lesson, or to explain a problem? In what ways are illustrations a part of your daily interactions with others?

 

 

 

Part II (200 words): An illustration essay operates on the principle that an argument must be supported with illustrations in order to be effective. Though you will not write an extended illustration essay in this course, it is important to understand the types of illustrations and how they function to support a point. Remember that there are three types of illustrations: precise, general, and hypothetical. Write a paragraph to support one of the following prompts; use formal academic tone and at least two specific illustrations to help support the prompt. If you use any source materials for information, be sure to cite appropriately! Please see the attached page for an example of an effective illustration paragraph.
