Lesson 2 | How Do We Arc?

Two steps and three categories

Let's step back and look at the big picture.

What we learned this lesson

1. Making an arc involves two steps.
2. Break up the passage into propositions.
3. Connect propositions with relationships.
4. The 18 logical relationships can be divided into two broad categories:
5. Coordinate relationships – each proposition makes its own independent contribution.
6. Subordinate relationships – one proposition supports the other. Subcategories:
7. Support by Restatement
8. Support by Distinct Statement
9. Support by Contrary Statement
