THINKING CRITICALLY ABOUT COORDINATION AND SUBORDINATION

Reading with an eye for coordination and subordination

Read over the first draft of “All-Powerful Coke,” paying special attention to the coordination and subordination. Do you notice any patterns—is there some of each? more of one than the other? Identify the coordination and subordination in one paragraph. Are they used appropriately? If not, revise the paragraph by following the guidelines in this chapter.

Thinking about your own use of coordination and subordination

Analyze two paragraphs from one of your drafts. Do the independent clauses contain the main ideas? How many dependent clauses do you find? Should the ideas in the dependent clauses be subordinate to those in the independent clauses? Revise the paragraphs to use coordination and subordination effectively. What conclusions can you draw about your use of coordination and subordination?
