Second Week of Online Class

Good evening everyone, today we did not get to meet face-to-face, but instead we had our class online. Our task was to discuss the purpose and the important keys of editing, and the different types of paragraphs in an essay. We all should already know the main points of editing, or in other words proofreading. To refresh your memory, editing is the last stage in the writing process. It is where we look over your paper for any errors in capitalization, grammar, punctuation, and spelling. In my opinion, proofreading is the most important step in your writing process. If you skip proofreading your paper before your submission, you may get it back with a lot of red marks and a low grade! It is always best to double check your work. Moving forward in our lesson, we learned about the types of paragraphs in an essay. The strategy in writing an essay is ins sequential order. The first paragraph of your essay is your introduction, where you will find your thesis statement and discuss about your topic. In support for your topic you have the developmental and transitional paragraphs. To wrap up your whole paper, you have your final concluding paragraph. These paragraphs will hep remind us how the outline of our overall paper will look like.
