On May 25, 2022 I blogged about 20 Excellent brief YouTube videos from the fall 2016 writing workshops for University of Michigan law students given by Patrick Barry on poise, rhythm, optimism, being dynamic, and the unexpected. Professor Barry (who also has a PhD in English) has a dozen more YouTube videos, all about Sentence Flow. You can watch them all in about twenty minutes. They are:

 

Sentence Flow: make your reader feel smart (1:14)

 

Sentence Flow: sentences - ideas - persuasion (1:18)

 

Sentence Flow: Benjamin Franklin (0:50)

 

Sentence Flow: for want of a nail (2:21)

 

Sentence Flow: mix of old and new (1:11)

 

Sentence Flow: bored and confused (1:02)

 

Sentence Flow: principle 1, principle 2 (0:48)

 

Sentence Flow: too ignorant to talk to (2:41)

 

Sentence Flow: audience and function (1:38)

 

Sentence Flow: the curse of knowledge (3:35)

 

Sentence Flow: why good people write bad prose (1:07)

 

Sentence Flow: writing as teaching (1:42)

 

On June 25,2019 I had blogged about how to Overcome the Curse of Knowledge by bringing numbers down to earth.
