#3 My Narrative Essay Will Be About...

#3 My Narrative Essay Will Be About...

     I really like this chapter on Narration. When it was explained to me from the book all my walls of fear kinda broke down because it explained it in a nice, soft, non threatening manner. It talks about how a narration is just a simple story from ones life of point of view. It gave helpful tips about being descriptive in your narration which will help your reader stay focused and engaged in your paper, also to help them feel like they are right there experiencing your story.


#2 Responding To Chapters 5&5

#2 Responding to chapters 4&5.

       These chapters talks about writing in academic settings, and has some good information. It talks about how sometimes we will write things based on the material we have learned in the classroom. I really like the section on "writing in response to reading" because I feel like I don't learn as much if I don't write down what I had just read, and it helps me remember the context much easier.

      I enjoyed the section on summarizing. I never thought that it would be an important tool to know how to do in my classes. I can see now that I have learned that summarizing is a useful tool to have because it teaches you how to locate the most important information in a piece of writing.
