Stage 2 Mix
Knead it
Physically, this is the hard work of
baking. It involves pulling and folding
- two tiny particles which started off
next to each other can end up
separated in an unpredictable fashion.
Our counterpart is about ordering the
content about determining which bits to
put first
Shape it
Leave it to Rise
It's the failure to engage in this
and the next two stages
which leads to so-called "halfbaked" essays. It is not a
problem with the baking, it's a
problem with the rising and
after.
Knock it Back
The risen dough does not go
straight into the oven. Bakers
"knock it back", and pummel
the air (redundant ideas and
padding) out of it, then they
knead it
Bake it

Developing an argument
a fact or assertion offered as evidence that
something is true; "it was a strong argument
that his hypothesis was true"
www.cogsci.princeton.edu/cgi-bin/webwn
Hart (1998) states that an argument involves
putting forward reasons to influence someone's
beliefs that what is being proposed is in fact the
case.
