Tasting an Oxymoron
After reading the passage where Doc orders a beer milkshake, tastes it, then tells the waitress that it tastes okay, writers will brainstorm other "oxymorons in taste." Writers will choose one oxymoronic food to write about, then they will plan a three-part story where they order the concoction. As they draft and revise, writers will work on taste sensation words and details. This lesson focuses on organization and idea development.
