ESSAYS FUN FUN FUN :D
Well writing essays has its good things and bad things, how about we start with the bad and point out some of the problems I encounter while writing these weekly essays: To begin with I have a hard time understanding what the author is trying to say, mainly if this is a poem we are talking about. The next problem I have is taking a side after I interpret the authors main points, this is always critical when writing an essay since you have to be able to back up what ever you decide is most reasonable. Another bad thing is that I am very tired to process things into my brain at the very last minute so I have an extremely hard time expressing my opinions on a Thursday at 11am :p maybe that is the reason why I never get my full points but we will never known. Enough about the bad things lets talk about the good, if you write essays you expand your knowledge, you can become better at your social skills, it will eventually prepare you for college. Writing essays will also allow you to know how to respond to any situation, not only that but it will help to support it as well. Your teacher will tell you if your good/ smart enough to go to college. Well I am done with that part the next part is explaining step by step how all of this good stuff works:
STEPS:
- Read the title and make inferences as to what it might be about
- Read the passage
- If I did not understand it I have to read it again
- Think of a good thesis statement, and a couple of literary terms or figurative language that the author uses to express his or her argument
- Write down my introduction
- Write my body according to the literary terms that I came up with
- Have to write the body using reasons as to why I think the whole thing makes sense
- Write down the conclusion pretty much just restating my thesis and giving another extra info on the passage
- Save it and send it to my email
- CHARGE MY PHONE AND GIVE MY THUMBS A BREAK!
- Wake up at 5 AM go to school print it out and hope Ms. Noonan understands where I am coming from or my nonsense and gives me a reasonable grade :p
Lol yeah we do the same things
ReplyDeleteI think if I follow your steps, I'll be better. My essay might have the potential of earning a 6 or 7 because right now its not high quality.
ReplyDeleteYours stood out so I had to comment it. I've typed papers on my phone too. It's annoying after awhile because, well it is. And I have a hard time understanding what the author is saying too. Like why can't they be simple with their words? Smh.
