There were three main points to the reading today. First off was cause and effect. This just basically told us how to organize and analyze different kinds of causes and effects. There are several ways to do this but I believe that the best way to is by identifying a cause and then discuss the effects.
Next was classifying and dividing information. When you classify something you are grouping it with similar things. The book uses the example of how a linguist would classify certain languages as romance languages.
The last part of our reading was comparing and contrasting. There are two ways to do this. One is the block method. In this method you find all of the information about one object at one time and then move on to the next item. The second method is the point-by-point method. Here you focus on specific points of comparison.
