<DIV>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have started an experimental online resource to explain the structure of
<STRONG>simple argument essays</STRONG>.</DIV>
<UL>
<LI>My <STRONG>audience </STRONG>is people who are learning the basics of
academic writing.</LI>
<LI>My <STRONG>goal </STRONG>is to demonstrate that an argument essay is not a
collection of parts, but a series of strategic rhetorical moves.</LI>
<LI>I have mapped out the structure of a simple example essay using
<STRONG>Mick O'Donnell's <A
href="http://www.wagsoft.com/RSTTool/">RSTTool</A></STRONG> and written a
commentary with illustrations.</LI></UL>
<DIV>I'm a beginner at RST analysis, so I would be very glad to get
<STRONG>feedback </STRONG>on my analysis, commentary or design. You can find the
pages at my web-site:</DIV>
