Our essay will, of course, have an introduction, supporting paragraphs describing how we fill about the essay, and a closing statement. The point of the essay will be to persuade others to agree with our point of view. It does not matter if we agree or disagree with the topic, we need to convince the reader to agree with us.
I feel that the assignment is fully directed towards us, the students. We are not being told what we have to read, we get to choose. That in itself, should help us succeed in this assignment. We get to be the teacher, analyzing what someone else wrote, and being able to put our opinions about the subject. Ultimately, we will be graded for grading another paper.
We get to be the teacher, I never thought of it like that. Simple, yet astute observation of the assignment. But, it is that simple. We have to put everything we've learned thus far together and dissect someone else's writing skills. That is the assignment. Nice picture by the way. Evidently we have the same idea in mind there.
ReplyDeleteTyler,
ReplyDeleteI really liked how you mentioned that we would be acting as teachers. That is such a neat way of looking at it! I also think it is great that we are able to use a writing piece that we are interested in- not one that has been predetermined for us. You did a fantastic job summarizing our job for essay two. Nice work!
