A Child Is Born

A Child is born when A is completed according to the following rules. Note: A child should be born of positive, not negative ideas (those which disagree with a positive idea).

1. Ideas - As an exercise, think of two uses, a future use and two types for each object.
2. Breasoning - Think of the x, y, z dimensions and colour of each object.
3. Rebreasoning - Think of the fact that the person and the object in a sentence are connected by a verb (an action) that means they touch.
4. Breathsoning - Think of a reason that the object is good.
5. Rebreathsoning - Think of a reason that the verb (action) is done well.
6. Space - Think of spatial characteristics of the person in relation to the object.
7. Time - Think of temporal characteristics of the person in relation to the object.

See also:

1. Structure of a Paragraph - Think of a reason, its manifestation and a link to the main conclusion.
2. Test Links Using Control of Body, Money and Computers - Think of how the object is controlled by the body, how much the object costs and how the object functions can be used to think of a link between the reason and the main conclusion.
3. Mindmap - Brainstorm or "mind-map" ideas for your essay.
4. Learn how essays are graded, in terms of making distinctions between objects, in:
1. Marking Scheme - Humanities
2. Marking Scheme - Creative Arts and Science - Creative Arts and Science
5. Detailed Reasoning - Each reason in the essay should be checked using this technique for ample marks.
6. Essay Requirements - One may be awarded a certain grade based on the content of the essay.

Pedagogical Closure

Think of 5 points at University (or 1 point in primary school or 2 points in secondary school) of an algorithm for each reason. In addition, write complete algorithms for five of the reasons.

Critical Evaluation

Critically evaluate an idea at the start of each paragraph by thinking of a perspective (e.g. politics, law, theology, etc.) from which it will be successful (when agreeing) or unsuccessful (when differing in opinion). An example of agreement from a perspective is "Smith argued for the planning of science because no two research students should work on the same project" should be agreed with by writing "A supervisor should cite the research student's idea from the project he worked on".

The Critical Evaluation may be interpreted as an algorithm (e.g. the point at which the supervisor's to-do list should be suspended was found, which is why he didn't cite the student's work). See Structure of a Paragraph.

Object from Critical Evaluation

One should include a second object when discussing the computer algorithm in the structure of a paragraph, or when making a critical evaluation of the first example.

Poles

In an essay about two writers, whose' works are at opposite poles of a contention, argue for either one and not against one.
