Moodle Session

On Wednesday, I turned in both of my forums on Moodle and forgot to blog about it. So, I'm blogging now. Today is Friday and the weather is crazy! Please be careful when driving on the road!

3-30-2011

Today we had a other moodle online session again . We discuss about the Cause and Effect analysis and read over a Writing Process Worksheet by Richard Blaylock! I really enjoy reading this essay .

03-30-11

We had another moodle session today. We were assigned to describe what cause and effect is and what does is deal with and to also give examples. In our second assignment we had to read the Work Process Worksheet that a writer did for his wordpiece, and we had to give our thoughts on it. Aside from that I hope everyone will have an awesome and safe weekend! See you all next week!

Moodle Mar 30, 2011

Today was a two part moodle session again. First we had to discuss what causes and effects deals with. Then we also had to put some writing examples about it. Second part of moodle was to discuss our thoughts on Richard Blaylock's essay and if we are comfortable with the process he displayed. I really found it understandable and I will like to use his process later. Enjoy your weekend! ;)

Missed! Mar 28, 2011

Second day meeting in our classmate, but I wasn't feeling to well so I missed this class session. I just went ahead and read Chapter 10 on the Process Analysis: Writing About Doing which was assigned. With this headache and cold I have yet to do the exercises. The start of a busy and bumpy week im hoping it gets better. Hope everyone has a good and safe week/weekend and see you all next week! :)

Moodle Session, 03/30/2011

Today we had to discuss about the Cause and Effect analysis and read over an example from the book utilizing the Writing Process Worksheet. I think it would be a great idea for us to use the same worksheet Blaylock completed. It is very organized and will teach us to organize our own writing. The analysis we had to go over today is very common, it is used to determine the reasoning and outcome of a given situation. It is great to use when we are given a writing assignment. When we come across the issue of writer's block, this is another writing form we could try to work with and maybe even input into our argument.

I hope everyone did great on the last test! It is almost the end of this semester, lets keep working diligently until the end. It will only help us in the long run. Have a good weekend everyone and stay safe!

03/30/11

Today's session on moodle was to read Chapter 10 about Cause and Effect and explain what it deals with in writing and to illustrate some examples. I gave an example about a dying dog. I also read through the Writing Process Worksheet written by Richard Blaylock " The Classroom and Beyond". I liked how the author writes using cause and effect.

Cause and Effect 03/30/2011

Cause and Effect

The approach of cause and effect analysis deals with a breakdown of logical thinking (cause/reasons) and the product of an outcome (effect/results) in which both thought processes are a natural assembly of explanations. When considering kinds of cause and effect, there are distinctions that follow:

Primary or Secondary, Immediate or Remote. A primary cause is a sufficient evidence that leads to a situation however secondary cause is a minor support that may be significant but can't always bring about a situation. Immediate effect is a first-hand direct (instant) consequence of an action, while remote effect is a long-range outcome that usually occurs after the immediate effect.

Brief Summary on Mondays class

We went over chapter 9 which was basically about the Directive and Informative Process Analysis. The directive process shows what we are gonna do and the informative tells us what to do. After all the discussions on the methods of both process analysis, we did some exercises which were pretty okay. We also had to choose between writing about how typhoons were formed or how we can save ourselves from one. I chose the second option. Because I definitely do not know how typhoons are formed. All I know is that it carries a whole of rain and wind. Well, I do hope to see you post online on moodle and blog today.

3-28-2011

To day we went over chaper 9 , which was about process analysis - writing and doing . We aslo practied three exercises .After that we had a speaker come in class and let us do a survey.

English Today

Today we read about process analysis: writing about doing. We also had some do some activities, one was about changing the oil of a car. I do not know anything about cars, so that did not go to well. Luckily we had a guest speaker today, but it did not relate to me since I didn't qualify. So I left class a bit earlier than everyone else. Other than that, everything was good. See you guys next week!

03-28-11

In today's class session we were located in the classroom, which we have not used since the first day of class. We went over chapter 9, which was about Directive and Informative Process Analysis. We practiced a few exercises in the lesson. One of them was informative and we were assigned to list on how to prepare for a typhoon , which was pretty cool considering the fact that we all are familiar with the standard procedure when a typhoon hits Guam. After, a guest speaker came into the class during the lesson, announcing that she is doing a demographic survey and asked us if we can fill out the paper she handed out. Anyways, overall it was a good lesson today!

Today was pretty interesting because we actually got to meet in the classroom setting. We just discussed the Process of Analysis and how it work. We also got to do some of the chapters exercises, which was interesting as well even though I did not get it. We also had a guest speaker who just did a quick presentation on herself. She is giving out a survey to us if we would be interested to be her project, but I was not interested to a project. However, She is trying to get a doctor's degree I believe. That's cool!! Good session Today!!

03-23-11

Oh my goodness! I can't believe I missed our test today! I did not even realize, I was so mixed up in these passed few days. I honestly thought today was an online session, but then when I checked our schedule, we were taking a test. I hope that Dr. Rivera will give me a rescheduled test.

Missed out on the 2nd test

I will be taking the test tomorrow so I hope I bomb this test. I really do apologize for not being absent twice. I confused myself and now I just have to make it up on my own time. Well, I wish you good luck on your results class. See you next week and have an awesome weekend.

Mar.23.2011

Today we took the test#2 . I did my best but still kind of worry about it. Hopefully everyone did their best and see you guys next week!!

23 March 2011 - Test day

Today's test was on chapter 5 and 6. I believe I did okay compared to the first test we had. I hope everyone else did good and that next time the third test will be easier. The third test is on April 4th so put that on your calenders so I can ask one of you guys for it later. Ashley and I studied last minute but oh well. This semester is pretty busy for my first time on Guam taking classes here.

Remember April 4th is the test. Good luck, amen.

Test No.02, 03/23/2011

Today's test was alot better than the first test we encountered. I think it was less surprising because we have become familiar with the kind of tests Dr.Rivera is giving to us. I studied for the test today but was surprised to see some topics included that I probably overlooked while I was reading over the chapter. I hope the extra credit will help my score on this test. Has anyone gotten their results from the last test we took?

Well I hope everyone feels alot more confident this time around and did great. Mid term is always a stressful period in the semester. Good luck on any other tests you all are going to take or have taken! Have fun this weekend everyone and stay safe!

Thank you very much to Dr.Rivera for the beads!

Test #2 03/23/2011

Today we just had gone through our test number 3 and although i feel a bit uneasy, i hopefully
did a good job. I think that there was one section in the test that i probably had not gone through-- i might have skipped that page of the section. So, i hope everyone did a good job as well and see you guys next class!

03.23.11 English today.

Today in English, we took our test #2. Unfortunately, i missed test #1 but I have an appointment with out teacher tomorrow to take the test.

Class was pretty good today. See you guys next time!

Test #2

Today we took test number two. I'm scared. hopefully we all tried our best. So, next time, STUDY harder:)
Good Luck Everyone!!

Test #2 Mar 23, 2011

Today's class meeting in the Lab was just to take test #2. This time I'm hoping to do better because I kind of knew what to expect. I sure did some studying days ahead and before class. Then we also did the raffle which was my first time which was pretty okay. I thought it was funny because I pulled my own name so I basically made myself win. Well hope everyone has a good and safe weekend. See you next week!

English Today

Today we took test number two. It was hard for me, I am trying to have a positive outlook and hoping that I passed. Lesson learned, I should be more prepared when it comes to these things. I hate having second thoughts about an answer. Other than that it's my mom's birthday, and I am ready to celebrate with her. Hope you all had a great day!

03-21-11

In our online session we had to discuss the analysis by division and give examples. Second, we we were also assigned to do a excercise in the book, which was to read a word piece about a resturaunt's review and explain our thoughts on it. Then we had to discuss the points on analysis by division that was used in the essay. Well I will see everyone next week. It has been a while. See you all later!!!

Moodle today

Yesterday I could not blog, or do the last forum because my internet just stopped working. Other than that we had to discuss the importance of analysis by division, and give some examples. On our other forum we had to discuss our thoughts on the Bachelor's restaurant review. Well i hope you all had a great start to your week, and don't forget to study for tomorrow!

Moodle Session

Yesterday and I went on Moodle to enter my Forum. What we had to discuss was the Analysis of Division. What this does, is that you take one unit or subject and you basically describe that one particular item. Now I know what it means, the second session we had to discuss John Bachelor's Essay. We just gave an opinion to the essay and we also had to give an example of Analysis of division.

March 21, 2011

Today we had our online class and our assignment was to read about the Analysis of Division. I learned that it is about breaking down a unit into different parts meaning a into paragraphs but to stay on point with the unit. I noticed that it is about being organized in writing an essay. Having an essay with one topic and talking about another topic not relating to the main unit (subject) the reader will most likely be lost. So far this semester the subjects we are going through are adding up and are falling into place. Why we need it and how it benefits in the long run. These subjects have been confusing at first but it is simple when practiced.

I will see you all next class! GOOD NIGHT!

Moodle Session, 03/21/2011

Today our moodle session was about the writing procedure analysis by division. Analyzing a subject is breaking it down into subparts and presenting how these parts work together to create one whole, cohesive unit. We also had to read a restaurant review by John Batchelor. He described a restaurant that he says to have great food but lacked in their service. He used very descriptive words to explain why he gave the review that he did about all the different aspects of the restaurant. I hope that we all remember this lesson, it will make a big difference in the writing we will need to be doing in our following years of college.

See you all next time!

Moodle March 21, 2011

WOW! Having four back to back moodle session I am really enjoying it. For todays session we had to discuss the importance of Analysis by Division which is what we need to explain how something works or exists as a unit. "UNIT" being the most important word. Then we just had to read the essay on the Restuarant Review by Batchelor. I really thought his essay was really good and something i will look forward to reading later again. It was just funny with the information he had to present about it. I really enjoyed reading the essay. Having such a busy and fun weekend I am hoping for a good day on Wednesday for our Test #2. See you all later!

3-21-11

Our assignment today was to read chapter 9 and answer some questions on moodle. Analysis by division means a unit that is substituted as a subject is broken down into parts that will be used to illustrate or demonstrate the functions of that particular unit. I thought the essay written by Batchelor was incredibly funny. I loved how the author was creative with his writing. His topic was just based on the casual Italian food or appetizers from the restaurant he constantly goes to with his family.

Process analysis 03/21/2011

Process analysis classifies your topic into stages in which it explains a process that signify an understanding of preparation and procedures. (How something is done, or How to do it?) In terms of process analysis, there are two distinctions-- Directive and Informative. Directive Process Analysis explains how to do something in which it controls over directions for the reader to follow. [ e.g. Read me and you can be able to make Red Rice](194) On the other hand, informative Process analysis explains how something was (is) done by declaring the ongoing facts--information of what has occurred or what is occurring.(195)

Moodle Session, 03/16/2011

Today we had to discuss about Exemplification. I think this aspect of writing is important because it emphasizes the need to be specific. Sometimes when we write, we tend to forget to include examples to help our readers understand what we are trying to present in a much deeper scale. We also had to read an example of a student using exemplification and talk about our reaction towards the essay. I enjoyed reading Yegavian's work because I could actually imagine myself going about his day because he described everything he encountered so clearly. I appreciate the reminder that being specific makes all the difference when composing a writing piece.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Moodle today

Today we had to read chapter eight, and it was about exemplification: writing with examples. The chapter was interesting, like how simple things can draw the reader's attention. We also had to do two forums. In one of them we had to explain what exemplification was and state some examples. The other one we had to read Garabed Yegavin's essay and talk share our thoughts about it. Other than that I hope you all had a good day, and have a splendid weekend!

Post for 14 March 2011

Last class i was told class had been cancelled and to send our Reflective essays to Dr. Rivera but when I tried to send it, it showed that it could not be sent. I am not too sure where to send it to so I have a hard copy ready for next class. I hope it doesn't count as late work for I have no control over sending the email which is currently unable to be sent.

16 March, 2011 - Exemplification

Today's topic is about exemplification and writing examples of it. This technique is often used among college students. I although did not know what type of writing it is until this class session. I have learned that this gives a better understanding to the readers towards the topic of what is being told. This gives the subject a vivid outlook and a mind catching feeling. I would love to read something that speaks vividly so that I could pay attention more.

See you all next class!!

Moodle March 16, 2011

Today we had to do two moodle assignments. The first one we just had to explain the importance of exemplification. The best examples are specific, vivid, and representative. Then for the second assignment we just had to read an essay by Yegavian on "Traveling the World at Home" and express our thoughts about it. I had such a good day today and I hope everyone else did too. See you all next class meeting.

03-16-11

In today's online session we had to talk about on our Moodle section the importance of exemplifications and describe the different examples that it gives. We also had another assignment which was to read a section on an essay that a person wrote and explain our opinions on it and describe also the different exemplifications the writer gave. Other than that have a great weekend everyone!!!

Today i posted up two forums. The first one was when we had to discuss about exemplification and what it meant and the second topic was when we had to discuss about Yegavian's essay.
I did not turn in my mid terms because i'm a bit confused of what's going on. So, hopefully I get it done before Friday...

Exemplification 03/16/2011

Exemplification is an effective tool in which it uses example to explain, convince or amuse in light of illustrating a developing idea. (138) To efficiently achieve the full effect of exemplification, one must present a specific, vivid and representative detail in which they directly relate to the supporting topic sentence. (138) Exemplification embraces such composition to the extent that it rejects the characteristic of a vague and broad subject and in return it forms into a vivid comprehensible statement/essay.

03/16/11

Todays readings was on Chapter 8. The chapter discusses about Exemplification : Writing with Examples. Exemplification means using examples to convince, amuse, or explain. Exemplification is used in ways of developing ideas, sentences or phrases. There are characteristics of a good example, techniques of finding the examples, and a number with limits of examples. One section of of the readings was mentioned. The section was for a class, but since we are doing it online, I answered it on my own instead. I read through the seven amazing stories and what they are is "Dropping way out" by Levine, "Little brother is watching" by Gall, "Who's change" by Lara, "Tortillas" by Burciaga, "Like for myself" by Angelou, "Traveling the world at home" by Yegavian, and last but not least, "Grading a professor's writing" by Arnold. After all that reading I answered the questions is the end. My task after reading all these great stories was to look through vocabularies, find the exemplifications, and just basically finding out what the whole essay was mainly about. See you all next class. Have a great weekend.

03-15-11

Yesterday we had to do a Moodle session. And to discover I did not know that the Midterm essay was due yesterday. I was a bit mixed up with the due date. So today I sent it to Dr. Rivera. I am sort of confused on what to do. Hopefully I did the essay right. I hope that I get a good grade for it.

Mid Term Paper, 03/14/2011

Today was a bit confusing, but as I read everyone else's blog entry I found out I wasn't alone. I emailed Dr. Rivera my Mid Term Self-Reflection paper as well, I hope she receives it on time to receive full credit. I went to class today, but the computer lab was locked. Thanks to Connie, I learned that we needed to submit our papers online.

If there is anything else I need to do for today's class session, please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks guys, hope everyone had a good Monday!

MOODLE March 14, 2011

Happy Monday everyone! Today's session was changed for a moodle session but i did not see the link for today's assignment. So instead I just emailed my self reflection assignment that was due today because instead of uploading it on moodle. I was scared I was the only one that did not see the link but im glad i saw two of our classmates and checked if they noticed too. Then for the book assignment work on Critical Thinking, Discussion, and Writing-Student Paragraphs and Essays I am lost. I am not sure if we are suppose to do the exeercises or just read. Other than that i guess i will see you all on our next Moodle session this Wednesday!

Moodle today.

Today our Midterm essay was due, but I did not see the forum for it. So I will be emailing it to Dr. Rivera later on tonight. Other than I went ahead and continued reading about descriptive narration. It is a really long chapter, so I am trying to really understand it. That way I could be more prepared for the next test. Well I hope you all had a great day!

03/14/11

I emailed my Mid-term essay assignment to Dr. Rivera because I could not upload it onto Moodle. This is not the only thing I did today. Today's chapter was based on the readings of Critical thinking, Discussions, and writing. I was not sure whether I was suppose to answer the exercises or not, but I did it instead so that I could understand the subject of this chapter better. I also do not know which page or which part of the readings should I stop on, but I ended at page 139. A brief summary on what I have read so far is the story of Shastri and the decisions she has to make with her life, Kavanagh and the topic he has come up with for his essay "The Drag", Rensky writing about his life, and the cashier, Ross who chose to write a narrative about an incident that occurred between two elders and a plastic binding material at work. All this Authors had great topics and great stories. I hope I write as well as they all did. The last part of the chapter is the suggested topics and prompts for writing descriptive narration. There is so many that goes by categories, but I'll just jot them all down. Reading-Based Writing: Summary, Reaction, and the Two-Part Response. Reading-Based Writing topics: "The Story of a well-made shield", "No tears for Frankie", "More", "Yearning for love", and "Rituals as comfort food for the soul". General topics: Objective Description and Subjective Description. Cross-Curricular topics, and Career-Related topics. Last but not least the Writers Guidelines of a Descriptive Narration is the Narration, Description, and the Incident Report. Hope this summary was good enough. I also tried to finish up my Writing Process Worksheet from last weeks activity on a topic we were all assigned to write about. See you all next class.

Moodle Session, 03/09/2011

Today was another moodle session, this time it was about the topic Descriptive Narration. I like this topic alot because it explains the importance of the relationship between description and narration. Without each other, they would individually fail at their task of presenting a story to the audience. Not only does an audience want to listen to a story, they also want to be able to use their imagination to picture the situation or scenarios in their minds. The chapter talks about the five narrative patterns, which are Situation, Conflict, Struggle, Outcome and Meaning. The two types of description are called objective and subjective (also known as emotional) description. These elements are used to create a Descriptive Narrative. The chapter also emphasizes the Point of View, Dialogue and Order of a descriptive narrative.

I hope everyone has a safe and great weekend! See you all next week.

Moodle Online!

Today i went on Moodle and discussed what a Descriptive Narration is. Writing a Descriptive Narration has different patterns. These patterns are described as they relate directly to the action. These are the Situation, Conflict, Struggle, Outcome and Meaning.
The situation is the background for the action. It’s basically self explanatory. The conflict is friction, such as a problem in the surroundings with another person or individual this is the heart of a narrative description and with this, it produces a struggle. The struggle is not always physical. It just generates the plot. The outcome is just the result of the struggle. The Meaning is the significance of a story.

Moddle Today

Today we read about "Descriptive Narration: Moving Through Space and Time." On our forum we had to discuss about the importance of descriptive narration, and list some examples using that form of writing. Well today was a good day, I enjoyed it. So I hope you all did too! :)

01-09-11

In today's online Moodle session we had to discuss the importance of descriptive narration and examples of it. I rushed to do the homework so I would not forget to do it later on tonight. Well we won't be able to see eachother for four class days. I wish you a safe trip Dr. Rivera. See everyone in our next class session!

03/09/11

Today was just another day on a new chapter. We were assigned to read Chapter 7 of Descriptive Narration: Moving through space and time. I read about how Narration and Descriptions are almost always together and used in some ways. I also learned about patterns and types this two techniques acquire. I read through most of them, but unfortunately I don't have the time to explain the rest. It's all on Moodle. See you next class. I have a question tho. Can anyone tell me if we have class on the 23rd, or stay online?

Decriptive Narration 03/09/2011

Today is another online session via UOG Moodle that in which we were to discuss about the importance of Descriptive Narration. Description and Narration are among the correlative elements that moves through time (narrative) and space (descriptive).

Narrative is an account of an incident or series of incidents that make up a complete and significant action that involves a situation, conflict, struggle, outcome and meaning.(102) When relating to the experience in time order, verb tenses are significant in which they must indicate appropriate time period--
e.g.=Past: He walked into the classroom. -
Present: He walks into the classroom.

Descriptive is the use of words to represent the appearance or nature of something. (105) In other words, detail is considerably substantial in communicating with your reader/audience. Relatively, objective description presents the subject clearly and directly as it exists outside the realm of emotions.(105) On the other hand, subjective description is concerned with clarity and it may be direct, but it conveys a feeling about the subject and sets a mood while making a point. (105)

Moodle Mar 09, 2011

Today's assignment is on a new chapter which is the Descriptive Narration. I tried to make it as simple as possible on describing the importance of descriptive narration. We had to give some examples of this form of writing. The narrative consists of five parts: Situation, Conflict, Struggle, Outcome, and Meaning. I will see you all after our four back to back online moodle session. Have a Good Weekend!

3-7-2011

Today we wrote the Writing process worksheet. I chose the title called ''A death in the family can teach a person a great deal about life.'' I wrote about my grandfather who died 5 years ago because he got the lung cancer. It makes every smokers in my family realized this is a very serious problem if they keep on doing that. So a lot of members in my family has changed this bad habit because they do not want to end up like this way!!

The Writing Process Worksheet

Today we basically went over the whole Writing Process. In our activity, we have to interpret the whole thing by writing whatever we need to know about the subject. We also had to go over the three different stages. Stage one is Freewriting, Brainstorming, Clustering and Note-taking.
Stage Two is when you organize your ideas and write a topic or thesis sentence. Stage Three is when you write your draft. In this stage, you have to edit and revise your draft by using CLUESS and COPS. After that, you keep on writing drafts until you feel like it's perfect, then you can finish your essay.

03/07/11 session

Today's session was okay. We all read through Chapter 6-Writing the Essay and after the reading, we all started with our Writing Process Worksheet. Our task was to basically choose one topic and follow the example given by Leah's outline, the usages of stages one and two, etc. We do not neccessarily have to focus on all the strategies, but at least we get the whole process of writing an essay. Some of us shared our work with the class and so forth, the topics were interesting. I will see you next class everyone.

Lab Session Mar 07, 2011

Today's lab meeting we continued on the Student Demonstration of All Stages of the Writing Process. We went over Leah's essays using the Writing Process in detailed from Stage one to Stage three. Leah's final draft of her essay turned out really good. Then we just did one exercise completing the writing process worksheet and pick one out of the ten topics followed. The topic i chose was the the first one The Date was a successful day although i did not want to share. I just wrote about October 1, 2007 being a successful day because it's the day i gave birth to my daughter. Great class session today!

Demonstrating All Stages of the Writing Process 03/17/2011

Today we have continued our lesson in demonstrating All the Stages of the Writing Process in which we discussed (read) about the complete use of each of the three stages-- Exploring, Organizing, and Writing. Relatively, we were assigned to expound upon the lesson by displaying the techniques we have learned through the Writing Process Worksheet in which we selected a topic to explore, organize, and write about.


See you guys on March 23! And remember we have a test on that day.

03-07-11

In today's lab session we viewed over chapter 6,"Writing the Essay". We read over the Writing Worksheet and the process that Leah did in order to write a good essay that her readers could clearly understand what her topic is. There were three stages that were used: Stage 1-Explore, Stage 2-Organize, and Stage 3-Write. We were assigned to do an exercise using the Writing Process Worksheet and explain it. The thesis I wrote about was "The way I keep my room is a reflection of the way I think". Which by the way is so true in my experience. This worksheet is a very useful tool in preparation of writing out essays. After, we discovered that Donna is a singer and she has a CD out!! I am going to so get the disk and have her sign it!

English Today

Today we got to see our grade from the test we took last week. I'm not really satisfied on what got, but I'm happy that i passed. I hope you all did too. During class we discussed about the writing process and did a worksheet on it. Lastly, next week we have our midterm essay due. We should all get started on that. Well I'll see you all on March 23rd, and have a safe flight Dr. Rivera.

Moodle Session, 03/02/2011

Another moodle session, this time we had to discuss one of my favorite things to do, writing the essay. I like writing papers, it gives me the freedom to speak my mind and at the same time, explore the different ways I could improve my writing skills. I tend to over think when I start writing, so I find it better for me to be alone in my own little space to really think and develop my ideas to put onto the paper. Im still really worried about the test, I hope I passed. Im just happy I know what to expect from the next test we have. Have a good and safe weekend, everyone! See you guys next week.

Writing the Essay 03/02/2011

Today was another online session in which we were to discuss the importance of an essay.
An essay is a group of paragraphs each with the function of supporting a controlling idea called a thesis. (82) Such an essay may consist of an introduction, developmental paragraph(explanation, detail, example) and a final view of a conclusion in which each element expounds its justified ideas upon the main subject. This developmental structure must be focus upon organization, support, and transition throughout the composition to maintain it reading effectiveness.

To start off, each essay must consist of an introduction in which it must emphasize the main idea (thesis statement). The key to a successful introduction is that one must take into an account that the writer must lure its reader into a thicket of attention-grabbing components-- that is, the writer must attract its reader to take interest in his/her work. On the other hand, when one carries out its conclusion, one must understand that the conclusion is an essential part of the essay and is often a reflection of the introduction.(88) All in all, each component in an essay provides support to its thesis in which it develops a structural foundation that embraces the main idea.

March 3, 2011 - Writing the Essay

Good evening all! Well i have just finished my online assignment on moodle and i found it interesting. Online classes seem to be fun and interesting! I have read chapter 6 and it was very informational. I liked how the chapter broke down the steps of how an essay is suppose to be. This links to the three stages of the writing process which is very, very, very helpful! I admit I am not much of an essay writer but this guide has gave me a better outlook upon essay writings! I am thinking of going to the writing gym as well but I will need to find the time!

Good night everyone, see you next class!

Be safe, drive defensively, do the right thing.

Moodle today

Today we had an online class and had to discuss what an essay was, and what it includes. We also had to talk about our experiences in writing essays. As for me I do not like writing, it's just not one of the things I am good at. Well I hope you all have a great weekend, see you on Monday!

Today's online Moodle session, we had to discuss what an essay is and the main parts that includes it. Then we had to write our experiences in writing essays. I hate writing essays. I was never good at it, but there is no way in avoiding it in life. Hopefull I will get better at it in the duration of these years in college. Anyway, I am really enjoying these online session days. Well see everyone in our next class session next week!!! Man I just found out that my Moodle forum didnt go through when I typed it out and posted it lastnight. I thought it posted, but I guess not. Then I found out this morning to check, and it wasn't there.

I just read through Chapter 6 and what I read about was mostly just on an essay. The outline of an essay, what methods it includes and how long it is expected to be as a college student. The four main parts of an essay is Introduction, Development, Transition, and Conclusion. There are additional sentences to an essay and what that means is we must write more than just one sentence for a paragraph. We all should already know by now that a paragraph has 5 to 6 sentences and not one or zero. Well, I hope to see you all next class.

Today's online session was pretty easy which was just to talk about Writing the Essay. What an Essay is and the main parts to it. Then just write our experience while writing an essay. I hope everyone makes use of the writing gym because it is really helpful. After you get a little help with just writing your introduction it will be much easier to finish and complete your essay. I was pretty shocked of how good my essay turned out from getting help from them. Well i hope everyone has a good weekend and see you all next class. ;)
