Hi again! I was unable to make it to class today, so although I am not able to answer the following questions from the perspective of someone who did it firsthand in class, I was still able to do something of the same idea. For this assignment, we needed to basically try to look at our essay in a different way and take each paragraph separately to see if each paragraph was able to relate back to our original thesis. The following questions were asked by our professor to be our blog assignment for tonight.
1. Experiment with the order / structure of your paragraphs. Try at least two different set-ups. How are they different? What did you learn? Even though I wasn't able to literally cut my essay into different paragraphs and do what the rest of the class did, i did take my essay apart and switch the paragraphs around to see if each related back to the thesis. I definitely liked my second re-arrangement than the first because it flowed so much better. I was able to see where my paragraphs fit best as well as what should be erased from them to make sure that they ultimately relate back to my original thesis. I learned that some of my paragraphs did need to have some revisions because my thoughts were not necessarily in order the way that they should have been.
2. How did this whole process help you re-see your essay? This exercise helped me see my essay differently because it allowed me to realize that all of my thoughts were jumbled and not put together very well the way that they should have been. I learned how to make sure that my essay stays on topic and that I am able to always tell exactly what my paper is supposed to be about and what point I am trying to get across.
