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.

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. ;)
