In-class writing, exercise 2: Eliminating wordinessIn-class writing, exercise 2: Eliminating wordiness
You are writing a paper on the advantages and disadvantages of using ash or mud to cleanse the
hands, a practice that is found in low-income communities in developing countries. You wish to
include a quote that explains
1) That received wisdom in some communities makes education on the use of soap
difficult;
2) that a barrier to education is the fact that in such communities, soap is expensive;
3) that despite the fact that it is suboptimal, washing hands with ash or mud is better
than nothing;
4) current attitudes towards developing handwashing promotion programs.
To accomplish this, produce a paraphrased version of the below text (see page 2 of this
document). Utilize the paraphrasing techniques discussed during lecture (downloadable as
“lecture_12” in the Files section of Canvas), i.e. removing material by means of ellipses, adding
material in square brackets for context, and italicizing material for emphasis.
