English Lab, 02/07/2011

Today we discussed stage two of the writing process. We learned that it is important when writing a sentence and an essay that there is a controlling idea. A topic sentence or a thesis statement has both a subject and a focus. We must avoid writing sentences that are unclear and not specific. We practiced these writing skills with a number of activities. First, we had to distinguish effective and ineffective sentences, then we completed a sentence using our own words and finally we had the chance to create our own thesis statement for a specific topic.

Next class is on Moodle, so see you guys next week!
