Today, we talked about the stage two in the writing process. We learned that the most important advice this book can offer you is state you are controlling idea and support it. Your writing will be unfocused and your readers may be confused if you have no controlling idea, no topic sentence, or thesis. A topic sentence for a paragraph and the thesis for an essay have both a subject and a focus. The subject is what you write about and the focus is what you intend to do with your subject. We also learned the difference between ineffective and effective.

This chapter covers why it is so important to have a strong thesis.
ReplyDeleteI believe the exercises in this chapter is very helpful. I'm glad we did the exercises because it helps me write a much more productive paper.
ReplyDeleteI think this chapter was very helpful to me. Now I know that the subject is who or what and the focus is an explanation about the subject.
