I referred to unit 7’s discussion post where you outlined your essay. So far your research has proven to make for an interesting essay. I’m sorry I did not find a persuasive thesis statement in Unit 8 though, meaning I’m not convinced that there should be a policy change. I know you stated this is a working thesis statement which was not included in unit 8’s post. If you don’t mind, I would like to give some guidance.
I do believe my speech went horribly, but there were some positive attributes. I think that my topic connected with the audience well because it something everyone could relay to. Also, I will be more cautious in the future when editing my speech and make sure that I do not edit out important information I think that I overall had a good speech. Overall, my speech was not as fluent or organized as I prepared or expected it to be but I think that I had a vital learning
Some of my strengths I improved upon were hooking my reader into my paper, having enough information, and grammar. In high school teachers didn’t pay much attention to the grammar mistakes that I was making, during the English 101 class I noticed that grammar was being emphasized more, if I didn’t fix my grammar mistakes I would do poorly on all of my papers. In the diagnostic essay my paragraphs didn’t have a good structure. The introduction of my diagnostic essay was lacking because I didn’t mention everything I was going to talk about. At the end of my conclusion I wrote, “All of the weaknesses can be toned down if I just proofread my essays and think to myself if the paper met all the goals I was aiming for”, instead of putting this at the end of my sentence I would have put a solid thesis statement instead.
I have revised my thesis statement to two sentences, rather than one. This is so that my point can be understood in a more effective way. My thesis statement is as follows. “There should be more stringent screening processes for individuals wanting to own guns in the United States because the current laws and regulations do not require mental health background checks and evaluations. Too many people with mental health issues are slipping through the cracks and obtaining weapons and then using them on innocent people.”
For example, you laid out a roadmap at the beginning of the speech to explain what you will talk about first, second, and last. I knew exactly where you were going with your speech at the beginning, where it was going in the middle, and what you had talked about by the end. Moving on your transitions -- and just your transitions -- was also helpful for your audience because we knew you were moving onto the next point. You used fluctuation to show the importance of some of your points.
Giving a speech whether being for the public or not, offers personal, professional, and public benefits for the individual. The individual might find it easier to obtain a profession, build better relationships amongst peers, or even propel social movements by carefully constructing and delivering a well thought out speech. A speech needs to be excellent in order to do such things; it needs to have a clear concise thesis, a preview statement, a great organizational pattern, supporting material, memory, delivery and good representation of oneself. Thus, during the process of constructing and delivering a speech, one must have those aspects. This will ensure the speaker will deliver a powerful and moving speech.
A virus is considered non- living but shows two things of living, they are made up of protein and genetic material. Viruses are very small, they can be seen with a microscope, and invade living cells. Since viruses don’t consist of cells, they have to depend on a host cell to help them make copies of their selves. When a virus enters a cell it uses that cells ATP to replicate.
What is English Composition II? English Composition II is an advanced English course that challenges a writer to grow and develop better writing skills. Throughout the course, the writer learns about APA format, interpretation, claims, evidence, citations, and thesis statements. During English Composition II, many distinct aspects of my writing have improved, I believe I have improved most through my argumentative thesis statements, as dictated by my entrance essay, rhetorical analysis essay, and long research paper; this will be proven by analysis of each chronologically whilst also relating them to my writing experience in English Composition II. Initially, in my entrance essay, my thesis was not up to college level and was dull when
Goodmorning Ms. Scoggins, Hopefully you are having a great weekend in this lovely morning. The reason that I am reach out to you is that I have some concern about the course, and how it will impact my life once I leave Collins. Since I was a little girl, I really have never been a fanatic of english the reason for this I struggle to talk write and read the language. Now I have improve on talking and reading, but as much as I have improve in those area I am still lacking on my writing. I am having problems with my grammar and my thesis statement; I am able to understand the topic and write a lot more than what is required from me.
A thesis statement is a sentence that tells the reader exactly what the paper is going to be about. It can be used argumentatively in order to clearly depict the writers viewpoints and opinions on the subject of the paper. The thesis’ main purpose is to organize the key points that will be used as an overall subject for each body paragraph. The thesis creates a central idea that the writing piece is trying to explain. For argument papers, the thesis statement forms the reader’s claim which is proven by the end of the paper with supporting details and evidence from credible experts.
Being confident shows your audience you are comfortable talking about your topic and that you are well informed on what you are specking of. Another thing that I can improve on is relaxing, for example, to not be so nervous. If I can think two steps ahead before I speak it would prepare me for what I am about to say which will allow my words to flow out smoothly and correctly. I plan on improving these skills by practicing more speeches in front of people and doing some relaxation exercises before my speech. I believe by implementing more speeches and doing some of the exercises, it will have me more relaxed, keep my mind focused and boost up my confidence so that I may present my speech flawlessly for an A plus grade.

“A good essay must have this permanent quality about it; it must draw its curtain round us, but it must be a curtain that shuts us in not out” (Woolf, 1925). Though not put quite this way, what I took away from the Read assignment (Bethel University, 2014) was how to write a well written essay and achieve “[the] curtain that shuts us in not out [type of essay].” The Read assignment first addresses the introduction and thesis statement. A well written introduction and thesis statement should be appealing and compel the reader to want to read more, not lose interest and stop without going further. This is accomplished by first making clear what the topic is; it may also provide the authors position, opinion, or attitude (Bethel University,
In the future, I hope to teach English to ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelve grade students. I understand that I will have students that have many different cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and I also understand that they will all respond to their successes and failures very differently. I want to be aware of the differences in the way the students achieve motivation and recognize a sense of self-worth, a sense of autonomy, address the need for relatedness, implement values and goals, and have attributions. One particular example of addressing motivation takes place within a tenth grade classroom. If I am teaching a lesson about how to create a thesis statement and the students are required to complete a worksheet for credit, many of my students
Position statement: For college Should I or should I not, that is the decision we all encounter when we finally reach high school. Now, there are many factors that will affect a person’s life. The most important of these factors is whether or not one has a college degree. Through out this essay I will discuss why I believe that it would be advantageous for students to continue their education in college. I believe this because the unemployment rate (proven by FRED) among high school graduates is incredibly much higher than people that have graduated from college.
