In this brief, informal journal assignment, you will discuss what you have learned about the foundations of writing. You will complete this assignment in your chosen Word processor using the built-in note-taking / comment function (see module resources).
To complete the exercise, review the module readings on introductions and conclusions, the anatomy of a body paragraph, and revision strategies. Then, in a brief journal entry, discuss what you have learned. Consider addressing the following prompts:
- What did you learn about revision that surprised you? Why was this surprising?
- What did you learn about the composition of body paragraphs that you didn’t know before?
- What did you learn about the composition of introductions and conclusions that helped you better understand how to draft an essay?
- Which specific pieces of advice do you think are the most important to carry with you throughout this semester? Why?
- If you knew all of this, talk about the advice that you think is the most important to remember and why.
