From Sentences To Paragraphs - The Quill
W/ Prof. Edwin L. Peterson, U. of Pittsburgh, Prod. by WQED
Sixth Television class. Prof. sitting in chair gets up & talks to desk & sits down to lectures to camera. Originally a kinescope so a bit soft focus. Educational TV lecture. Talks about turning sentences into paragraphs after covering the Word, then the Sentence. Discusses different kinds of paragraph.
09:25:33 The Explaining Paragraph. The Explanation Paragraph. Handles a fan & likens it to moving from sentence to paragraph as its opened up.
09:27:35 Likens paragraph to talking & gives example of coming home from work after the day has gone wrong. My day, lousy. This is pivot point & then the details form the paragraph & final remark is the summary.
09:30:00 Explains generalization & how it can be useful or destructive. Gossips & politicians can use generalization in a poor way; extracting & distillation can be positive use. Opens a box labeled High School Mementoes showing that all objects have something in common that is specific as well as general. Generalization of the label would have no meaning w/o the specifics of the contents.
09:34:?? Explains all that can be done w/ explaining paragraphs.
09:36:00 Quotes from an amateur writer, a paragraph that tells a lot about a freshman girl’s home. “A label all by its self is not convincing...we have to see the specific evidence that justifies that specific evidence...”
09:40:20 Holding fan as example he quotes her summary sentence. “We who have read have shared...”
09:41:33 “Let’s look next at a bit of amateur writing done by an older woman... in this one the generalization comes near the close...” Prof. reads the paragraph re boy coming home from college & greeted by old dog.
09:44:45 Does a paragraph that has the generalization as a topical sentence at the end.
09:46:00 Summary. Looking at David’s Psalm “The Lord is my Sephard...” moving to the specifics thru use of details. “Explaining paragraph is a universal form...” Peterson gets up and walks away. Announcer speaks.
