IPHY 3700 Slides for Wednesday, September 17Organizing Content and Writing a DraftA Process for Organizing ContentDecide on a design, or layout, for your “organizing plan”Take a principled approach to organizing content Organize your paper’s major sectionsOrganize your paper’s subsectionsDecide which parts of your plan to emphasize and allot space to those partsOrganizing Principles1. Follow instructions that come with your assignment 2. Follow discipline-specific conventions3. Apply recognizable organizing themes 4. Arrange your paper's parts to serve its overall function 5. Apply your audience analysis 6. Reinforce global unity 7. Use good old-fashioned common sense Organizing Themes1. Goal-based2. Topic-based3. Chronological 4. Sequential5. Spatial6. Most-to-least important7. Least-to-most important8. Whole to part9. Part to whole10. General to specific11. Specific to general12.

Introduction: Define the Issue (~2 pages)-- Convince readers that the issue is unresolved-- Convince readers that the issue is important-- Present my claim supporting strength training2. Convince Readers to Accept My Evidence and Reasoning (~4 pages)-- Increased muscle mass and strength-- Improved postural control-- Independence in daily living3. Acknowledge Opposing Lines of Evidence and Reasoning (~1 page)-- Studies showing no mass/strength increase-- Increased risk for injury4. Refute the Opposing Argument (~2 pages)-- Methodological flaws in studies showing no effects-- Relatively low injury risk5. Sum up My Main Arguments in a Conclusion (~1 page)A Sample Paragraph-level OutlinePower Goal for the Paragraph(s): To discuss met hodological limitations of the study and their impact on the fi ndings and conclusionsResearchers should allow suffi cient time f or subjects to recover f rom testing on day 1Or, researchers could "counterbalance" the order of testing this way: half of the subj ects perf orm with caff eine on day 1 and without caff eine on day 2, while the other half gets t he reverse orderSuggest alternative designs f or f uture studies, to avoid this limitation10-Deplet ed glycogen stores might have caused f at igue on day 2 because . . .
