I think Mick Markel does a good job explaining how
to write a document with definitions, descriptions and instructions. The
examples presented give a good idea on how to express a certain subject. As a visual learner and a second language
student, pictures and definitions are a life saver because English can mean a
lot of different things with only one word. Extended definitions that include
examples, partitions, comparison and contrast, make a lot of sense and they are
easier to remember when taking a test. This
information could also be available in long term memory.
I have taken other English classes before and I feel
this course will be just what I need.
The 1984 novel is kind of challenging for me because it has a lot of new
words in every single paragraph, but I know it will be very rewarding in the
end. In one of my passed ENG classes I had to read “How to Kill a Mockingbird”. I now see that was easy literature compared
to the 1984 novel. I realized that
writing an instruction manual without some basic knowledge on the subject can
be very challenging. The importance of being very specific can never be over
expressed. I am currently taking a UCOLL class that has also reminded me about
Egos, Pathos, and Logos. I think it will
be of help in this class. My science classes do not require much writing so I
can be very rusty.
