Ronny's Blog for English

This week we contiuned work on our Essays and we learned the importance of clearly defing your why. or the reason your audience shouod care. This "why?" is what links your writing to the bigger picture.

This week we gave counter arguments for our partners thesis. For me my partner is arguing against protesters being allowed to block major roadways. I generally disagree though I do believe it is gray area for sure. For me I am writing on the role of a University and specifically in a criminal case. I am planning on using the general consensus on what the role of a University in general is and how that can be appiled here.

This week we went over numerous ways in which one should go about research. Luckily for me my highschool sent me off with some long research papers under my belt which hopefully will help me with this.

This past week we went over structured responses in order to present our ideas clealry. This feels similar to training while knowing the answer which is very helpful with a new idea.

This week we went over rhetorical appeals. Luckily I have had some experience with these before so this week has served as a great refresher. Also this week I did my last assigned draft for my Essay 2 though I do plan on revising it at a later date.

This weeks lessons centred on learning how to write to an audience. This is done by both using words or phrases that certain groups use, such as religious people responding better to a religous argument then a legal one, and that having a focued purpose your writing will he clearer and be better understood.
