I hate green.  I love that shirt.

These are two simple statements.  If you plunk them down right next to each other, your reader will assume they are related. But how?  The English language gives you countless ways to SHOW your reader the connection between these statements.
I can't always promise to write up a summary of the exercises we did in class; however, because we won't see each other again until the assignment is due, I thought it would be useful for me to offer a bit of a refresher.

Summary of what we did in class on Thursday.

1) List examples of misconceptions.

2) Choose one, and associate it with a specific source --  that is, a specific advertisement that relies upon a misconception to deliver its message, a specific speech that a politician gave on a particular date, a specific law or university policy, or a belief that led you to act in a certain way that you no longer condone.

3) I suggested a formula, but pointed out that the formula is just a tool to help you organize your ideas, not an example of language that you should use in your paragraph.
