Major Assignment1-Diagnostic Portfolio-Module 3 P-I-E_your name
Module 3. P-I-E structure DUE-Feb.11 Tue.
1. Take the first body paragraph of your original diagnostic essay, labeling each sentence based on its function (point, sub-point,
illustration, explanation, and closing sentence). It is possible that sentences
have more than one function or you may not know what the function is. Don't
revise it yet, just see what you HAVE already and label as much as possible.
Write a diagnosis for the organizational structure and level of support
provided in this paragraph so far (about 3-4 sentences). Identify one or two
things you think are done well/included appropriately, based on what you
learned in the PIE structure presentation. Also, identify one or two
things you think you could work on for a future revision.
2. Revise the first body paragraph using the P-I-E principle.
