8-19-09 Powerpoint Presentation Today

Class was nice today! I read Chapter 1 & 2 surprisingly for the next day. I think it's nice we can take notes. I think they will help me very much.

1.Prewrite
2.Identify the thesis
3.Support the thesis with evidence
4.Organize the evidence
5.Write the first draft
6.Revise the essay
7.Edit and proofread

3 point thesis statement
Introduction
Body Paragraph 1: pt 1 examples, evidence
Body Paragraph 2: pt 2 examples, evidence
Body Paragraph 3: pt 3 examples, evidence
Conclusion: adding unity

This is basically what I have learned from today's powerpoint and yesterdays reading:
*Prewriting can be thinking, jotting down ideas, basically anything is a start.
*Confidence with any of it will help.
*Understanding the assignment is important
*Audience and Purpose is important
*Brainstorm! Brainstorm!
*Gather and organize raw information:facts, anecdotes, quotes, statistics, articles
*Make sure thesis is a controlling narrowed point of view that is effective not broad and not announcing a statement
Recognize limited subject and attitude
Mini outlines are great!
Vivid language is best to make the essay like colors to your reader. Sensory details
Make defensible arguments
Be clear, concise, credible ,correct
