ENGL&101 – English Composition I (Hybrid)
Trimble Writing Exercise #3
This writing exercise has three parts. Please use this form to complete all three parts and
then submit it to me using the drop box In the Week 3 Module. This week’s exercise asks
you to quote passages from your Personal Narrative.
Part 1: After reading Trimble’s section on the Importance of Continuity (40-2) quote one
sentence from your Personal Narrative that effectively uses a bookish adverb. Make
sure to also quote the sentence that comes before it, as a way of displaying how you use
the bookish adverb to create continuity.
Part 2: Quote a paragraph from your Personal Narrative that makes effective use of
imagery. Bold (or otherwise indicate) all the words that you feel evoke concrete,
sensory details.
Part 3: On page 43, Trimble discusses bridge sentences. Quote a bridge sentence from
your own Personal Narrative and explain how it forms a bridge between points.
