We had a great discussion in our class. This was really an enjoyable one. But, I thought we will have our first prelim exam. However , I am thankful that it was moved in our next meeting. We had an activity with regards to the words about our senses. It is called the sensory word bins. I was confuse with the words because it was very unfamiliar to me. But still, I learned many new words that will add my vocabulary. Our teacher discussed on the importance of writing a term paper. It was my first time to hear the word term paper. I have no clue on how it is to be done. I never experienced writing a term paper in high school. But, I think this activity will be really challenging to me because it involves many researches to do. As what our teacher discussed, I learned that term paper is really important because everything that we learn are all products of research. I also gained knowledge about the types of descriptive writing. These are the remembrance, description of a place, character profile and travel brochure.
Our next blog assignment is writing a descriptive essay. I learned that there are steps to follow in writing a descriptive essay. You must create a main impression, organize details, and use vivid words. Ma'am Lynnie reminded us that when we blog, we should first have a skeletal diagram in order to organize well the ideas. I also learned that when writing, you must think of your audience.
We had our make up class. The discussion was all about writing better sentences by avoiding fragments and run-ons. It was my first to encounter the word run-on sentences. I gained knowledge that run-on sentences result in problems of unclear meaning. A sentence is called a fragment when the subject or the verb is missing.
In our whole discussion, i really much informed of many things most specially in writing better sentences.
