We started class with the lesson of exemplification in our workbook. I liked the lesson and the examples that went with it. It showed examples and techniques for the exemplification. We then moved on to the blogging and moodle assignment. It was a good day and, as always, informative.
ReplyDeleteI feel like blogging days will always be the same and of course always informative. I agree with you, I liked how we went through examples as a class.
DeleteToday's class was informative and the lesson was easy to understand.
DeleteIt was a good day
DeleteYes, today was a good day and it was pretty relaxing too.
DeleteIt was a good, relaxing, and informative day.
DeleteIt was a heavy day for me, but in the class, it was good:)

ReplyDeleteToday’s activities included learning about writing exemplification, techniques for finding exemplifications, and a few exercises to review exemplifications. I am not sure if I understand this lesson because my mind is drifting from the subject. My main focus is on the essay that I have not started and it is due next class. OH NO! D: But overall, it seemed like a relaxed day. Is anyone else struggling with this essay?
Don't stress too much! Don't worry, you'll be able to finish it! I still need to start on mine too :(
DeleteI'm definitely struggling with my essay as well! I have yet to get a peer review!
DeleteMy mind has also been drifting from the lessons for the past days. I didn't realize the essay is due next week either. I have a bunch of brainstorming ideas but not one topic that I have settled on yet. However, we will get through this essay! Good luck!
DeleteI'm struggling too! What I took from the activities is to provide examples to strengthen your point.
DeleteIn the beginning of class i check when our next essay is due and i realized i had to start on mine this weekend. I thought i had more time to finish it but it shouldn't be too hard.
DeleteI haven't started the test 2 essay as well. It seems pretty easy though. I wish you luck.
DeleteIt really is due next class?! OH MY GOSH!
DeleteI am kind of struggling with the essay.
DeleteToday we did a lot of exercises. We kind of did something similar to an essay brain stretcher or listing. We did a lot of readings or examples. Although it may seem like we did these things before there are some differences. It is always good to learn new ways or new things to start your essay. It is an upper hand for us. We also learned more transitional words. Class overall today was good!
ReplyDeleteYes, the lessons each day sound familiar. I definitely agree that their our differences, you just got to be paying attention.
DeleteIt is exciting to learn how to make an essay more exciting
DeleteI believe it's because they all connect with each other. Today was a good day =)
DeleteI like to keep learning more transitional words. It's very interesting and informative.
DeleteI liked today's activities because for me, I learned something new. We went over exemplification and that's something I never knew about, so I'm glad we went over it today. We also did some exercises from the book and I liked that too because I like hearing everyone's own opinion about the work. Overall, today's class was great =)
ReplyDeleteYes, hearing others opinions is always good. We would probably have even better ideas or might revise our own. I love how our class always shares their opinions.
DeleteI like hearing other people's opinion because others have a different point of view from what your opinion is. So it is always refreshing to hear new ideas.
DeleteI agree, I enjoyed the class as well as people sharing their own opinion.
DeleteI agree with you. I never heard the word exemplification before until today. I am now educated as to what it is.
Deletelearning something new is always refreshing. I enjoy the classes also especially when we go the the computer labs.
DeleteFor real! The different opinions give me a different point of view.. =)
DeleteToday's activities were fun and i enjoyed reading the essays in class.
DeleteI agree with you:) I like to hear from different people.
DeleteIn today’s class, I really liked the acronym for transitional words. In essays, I’m not really good with using transitional words. We also learned that it helps connect sentences, ideas and paragraphs. HOTSHOT CAT is definitely an acronym that I will be referring to more often, now. The topic about exemplification was also interesting. I know it as describing your topic so that was a new thing. When you write essays, using exemplification will definitely help. It helps give examples, convince or amuse. Overall, I was a bit out of it. The essay readings made me drowsy because it seemed long. Exemplification and HOTSHOT CAT was what got me interested in the beginning.
ReplyDeleteOh I feel the same way about using transitional words and also being out of it. I must have been really out of it that I did not hear that word. The only thing that engaged me in this class was the part where we had to do the exercises because it was simple.
DeleteI agree with you. I think today's lesson really helped me write a better essay. Transitional words would be a better use for me especially since I always had a hard time trying to find out what words to use.
DeleteToday consisted on reading and exercises. Exemplification is really important if you want your audience to have a specific idea on what is being read. The best examples should be specific, vivid and representative. It definitely helps when writing an essay. Overall, today’s class was very relaxing along with informative.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, exemplification is important. Definitely be using it when it comes to writing my essays. =)
DeleteI agree, the best examples have specific and vivid which is something I struggle with.
DeleteI agree, today's class was relaxing and informative.
DeleteSo that's what exemplifications are... I think I understand them now. Class was very relaxing and informative.
DeleteI do believe that it is helpful with writing essays. It gives us a reason to make our essay longer because we have to explain (:
DeleteI liked writing the paragraph in the beginning of our activity, it was like making my own little story about what I think could be going on. I love when everyone shares, even on the smallest of things like the list of what you've seen people put aside to watch tv. I rarely watch tv but when I do, nothing comes in the way of that. For example, I watched One Tree Hill reruns all day yesterday. I didn't do my daily run, I even ate while sitting on the couch watching it. I see how attached I get to things, like youtube. I see how much it has somewhat brainwashed people to think that it's okay to humiliate people on purpose. I for one, used to think it was okay also and thought things like that were funny. As much as I despise critical thinking, I actually enjoy doing it in this class and enjoy how challenging I find it.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoy when everyone gives their opinions =) it gives you a whole different sense of the subject.
DeleteI agree with you Richille! I too, liked the writing activities with regards to the photo and all the different activities going on in that photo... What was suppose to be a paragraph ended being maybe, two going or three paragraphs. The photo allowed me to make my own imaginary concoction of a fictional story...
DeleteToday’s class was pretty relaxed. We went over exemplification; which is just writing with examples. We went over a few activities which helped reinforce the lesson and read and analyzed essays.
ReplyDeletetoday's class was pretty chill. We did a lot of readings and examples but I'm glad we did it as a class. It is all good because we learn new things.
DeleteThe activities also helped me reinforce the lesson. It was a good refresher!
DeleteI thought today was also very relaxing. None of the activities we did were too tedious so i didn't mind it at all.
Deletehonestly, youtube is very addicting. -.-
DeleteToday’s activities focused on writing exemplifications. Exemplification means using examples to convince or explain. You can get your examples through the writing process so you can further expand. The examples helped me understand the subject. The essay was helpful because it expanded on points with exemplifications to support it. Overall, it was an informatively great day.
ReplyDeleteI liked how we went over the examples, they're a big help for me too. =)
DeleteIt is interesting to see how the teachers would most likely grade our essay's. We could use this to our advantage by apply correcting our essay based on these rubrics, before we turn it in. today was an interesting environment. I prefer to have class in the other computer room, because it feels more lively. I was falling asleep during class, but for the other classroom it feels as if class is to short.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you! The rubric that it shown above definitely will help us understand how we are graded.
DeleteI wasn't falling asleep, but I do feel that the class drags more in here than in the other two rooms.
DeleteI don't mind having class in either computer room. I'm pretty tired as well and sometimes my mind would drift away from the lesson.
DeleteI like looking at rubrics because it does help how the essay should be, and we always want to look at the side and boxes that have a good one.
DeleteToday was a chill day and I really enjoy this class. We went over exemplifications and did class activities that was not hard so I didn't really mind it. I also had to do a make-up essay because i missed class last Tuesday, but it wasn't hard at all. Overall, today was relaxing and enjoy going to labs than going to regular classrooms.
ReplyDeleteYeah the lesson today wasn't so hard and I like how our class is chill also.
DeleteI like going to the computer lab better than the regular classroom too! I really enjoy how this class goes! Informative as well as relaxing!
DeleteOur lesson today covered exemplification and how it teaches us to use examples to explain, convince, and amuse. The exercises within the lesson helped me gain knowledge of how to use exemplification within my writing. Overall, today seems to be a good day, and class is always informative and relaxing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. I hope I can use exemplification to my advantage when writing my essay. Plus, class is always informative and relaxing. #collegerules
DeleteToday we went over exemplification. We did an exercise where we look at a picture and named all the exercises that were taking place in the picture. This was an easy exercise and I enjoyed it. We then had to write a paragraph based on this and I think that my paragraph was very good. We then read an essay about youtube, conspiracies and privacy. This was a interesting story and I enjoyed reading it.
ReplyDeleteI agree. The stories we read were quite interesting!
DeleteToday’s activities included the topic on exemplification. It’s basically using examples to convince and amuse people more (ex. Phrases and cartoons). This method helps for readers and audiences to develop more and more ideas. I also need my essay to be peer reviewed next class. I hope it sounds ok.
ReplyDeleteI bet it does. I like when you share your essays and brainstorms in class. You are a great writer. I love listening to what you have to say.
DeleteThank God you said this, I was thinking it's due tuesday!
DeleteOh my gosh, you already wrote your essay?! Man, I need to start writing mine!
DeleteFor today’s activities, we went over writing exemplifications. Exemplification means using examples to explain, convince, or amuse. It was informative to read about exemplifications because I realized how useful it could be in an essay. Today was enjoyable because everyone was interacting with one another and there was a lot of reading. To me, I have a love/hate relationship with reading. Today, I actually loved reading the section and following along with the others.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. I do have a love and hate relationship with reading, but hey it does help.
DeleteI agree, I love how our class just interacts with each other. Its such a lively class everyday.
DeleteI enjoyed today's class as well! Very informative!
DeleteI like the interactions between our colleagues. It is fun and enjoyable :D
DeleteExemplification: Examples to explain, examples to convince, and examples to amuse. One of the most common and effective ways of developing ideas. This is something I will take into consideration in my next Essay Writing Test; the Narration. Much to learn, and lots to remember!
ReplyDeleteI feel like exemplification could be a good use for this coming essay.
DeleteI like how you explained exemplification! I don't need to look in the book to find out what it is, thanks! This is definitely something to consider in our essays.
DeleteExemplification will greatly help us in our next test essay.
DeleteThe activity that we discussed today is the analytic scoring rubric for writing. This is very convenient to know how we are being scored. So that we know what to focus on so that we could get a better grade. While making a great essay and getting a great grade. I also like how it shows us what to use or what to do to get a better grade. For example, under composing it says to focuses on central ideas with an organized and elaborating text. So I believe that would be very helpful.
ReplyDeleteFor today’s class, we learned about exemplification. We went over the different approach in writing a narrative essay. These different approaches were listing topics and clustering, which is basically the same as the first stage of writing the descriptive essay or any other essay. I enjoyed reading the selection we went over in class; “Little Brother is watching” and “Traveling the World at Home”. I enjoyed doing the exercise, too, where we listed the activities that people are doing in this small picture. After listing, I also used my imagination and wrote a paragraph regarding the activities. I was imagining that I was actually at the park looking at these extremely busy and active people. Other than the activities, I had a hard time staying focused because I realized that the next test is next week. Good luck, guys!
ReplyDeleteToday's activity was a new chance to learn something new for me and I pretty much like it. Exemplification is using the samples to explain something. It's important in writing an essay and is the most effective ways of developing ideas. By the way, I realized I didn't know what means "i.e.", but after we went over the transitional words part, I knew it and I will never forget it. Overall, I love what we learned in class.
ReplyDeleteReading and learning about exemplification is the best way for me to learn. Giving examples to help explain is the best way to help others understand especially if the given example is relatable. Using examples in my papers is a good way to connect with my audience and keep them interested in my topic.
