• - we reviewed the answers to Outliers chapter 2.

• We reviewed the modes of discourse as they apply to Outliers chapter 2.

• Narration - one might think of it as telling a story

• Description - to describe something—object, person, place, experience, emotion, situation, etc. (the goal is to paint an image that is vivid and moving in the mind of the reader).

• Exposition - to investigate an idea, evaluate evidence, expound on the idea, and set forth an argument concerning that idea in a clear and concise manner. (This can be accomplished through comparison and contrast, definition, example, the analysis of cause and effect, etc.)

• Argumentation - to investigate a topic; collect, generate, and evaluate evidence; and establish a position on the topic in a concise manner. This writing is similar to “exposition,” but requires more extensive research.
