Last Week of Intersession :D
Wow! I can't believe this session is coming to an end! Three more days left and then we are off to pursue higher endeavors pertaining english! Today is the last day for our online moodle session. We had a lot of topics to cover! First we had cause and effect which deals with reasons and results. Causes and effects is based on our natural thought processes and how we imagine things will turn out. This type of writing is also persuasive. We also had to discuss about establishing groups through classification. Classification is explaining your thesis by putting people, places, things, or ideas into groups or classes based on their characteristics. I find classification the easiest form of writing over all the other types we learned. Today, we went over writing definition and argument papers. Definitions consist of synonyms, phrases, or sentences to describe the definition of a word. Another way to write to persuade is through an argument. An argument is a persuasion on a topic about which reasonable people disagree, and is often controversial.
