Recommended: Essays on critical thinking skills

The two most important things I learned during this module include knowing how to make a viable argument and how to provide evidence to back up my thesis. For example, I made an argument about the representation of posthumans and its challenges to the ideas of community in Project Two on the movie, “Captain America: The First Avenger.” I did so by researching the topics on the topic list, making a list of ideas I could write about on each, choosing the option I could best write on, and then choosing a side and determining an argument. Also, in Project Two, I backed my thesis statement with evidence relating to my argument. I researched the topic thoroughly and then provided background on the subject, quotes, examples that supported my evidence, and even opposing views. …show more content…

I will always be aware of making an argument that best suits my knowledge and providing evidence to support my thesis statement. I now realize the importance of making an argument because you are stating your stance on the topic at hand. Also, I realize the importance of giving sufficient and appropriate evidence to show the agreeing and opposing views. Learning this at this point in the semester will further my understanding of writing in this course. On the final assignments in this course, I will be sure to state my argument and supply evidence. The experience of learning from this module will positively affect my performance in future writing courses majorly. Like I stated earlier, on further writing assignments I will apply what I have learned because it will stick with me forever. Whether I am writing a science paper, business report, or even creating a report at work in the future, I will be able to use the skills I have

  • Darwin, Booker T. Washington and the Feminist Movement: How They Have All Influenced Modern Society

    1504 Words  | 4 Pages

    For my Project Learning Summary I chose to focus on two people and one movement that I believe have a strong impact on society today. Each of the topics has had an influence during their respective eras, and each proved that their work has gone onto make changes in the world as we see it today. I first looked at Darwin, for his work on natural selection and the significance it has had on science and religion. I then took another look at Booker T. Washington, and how his stance on integration of African Americans into a “white” society was at the end of slavery and what his efforts have done since. Lastly, I looked at the Feminist Movement and the efforts that were taken for improving equality as a whole in society.

    When I first encountered the word argument in this chapter I thought that I would be informed on what an argument is and how to construct an argument in an essay. After reading the chapter I think arguments much more than creating diversity over a topic. Also, it is much more than making a claim. There are many different styles and ways to present an argument.

  • A Reflection on My Writing

    974 Words  | 2 Pages

    In this class I have really learned to use a different level of thinking in my papers. Teachers often have complemented my ability to prove a point with the spoken word, but always offer advice when referencing my ability to compel by the written word. My first lesson in Literature was to bring myself down a level. I used to have an opinion, and write it, never citing or backing it up. My teachers taught me to incorporate others opinions into my own, explaining that until there is a credit to my name, no one is concerned about my opinion without someone credible backing it up. I took that knowledge and used it, learning to be an aggressive researcher, never resting until I have exhausted all sources.

  • Captain America The Winter Soldiers

    737 Words  | 2 Pages

    In our government we have an agency that protects not only us but sensitive information that could jeopardize the future of our nation. In the movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier, they had a similar agency. That agency was Shield. Just like the National Security Agency like we have, Shield had eyes and ears everywhere. Nobody is perfect though. Just because they are the National Security agency, doesn’t mean they know about all the threats out there. In Captain America, members of Hydra tried to end Nick Fury’s (the director of shield) life. Attempts have been made to harm presidents in the past, even though something so important should be investigated and stopped, sometimes no body know to stop it. The information could have never

    Throughout this semester I have learned many ways of writing through two main essays literacy narrative and comparison and contrast. These two essays have taught me how to correctly fix my comma splices, thesis statements, and capitalization. I have engaged in numerous learning material during this summer class. Many times when I thought it would be hard to work on those three developments I never gave up. I gain more positive feedback from my teacher because he pointed out most of my mistakes I made on both literacy narrative and comparison and contrast essays to help me understand what is it that I need to work on. My development as a writer became stronger.

  • Final Reflection: Grasping the Writing Process

    899 Words  | 2 Pages

    ...ragraphs that support the argument. The easiest part of this component was actually inserting it in my essay after I understood the purpose for it, because at the beginning I was confused on the whole thesis concept. The thesis was the most challenging because I kept asking myself "Can I really argue this for five to six pages?" and also "Is this even considered a thesis statement?" I noticed that I can speak and write more effectively when I'm thinking critically and intellectually. My sentence structure has always been strong and I feel it has grown because of the practice we have had in class with finding thesis statements in our readings. My overall issue with this component of the writing process is using a justifiable argument and remembering to support my argument with claims and trying not to put unnecessary points in my paper while maintaining my ethos.

  • What I Learned in Writing 101

    954 Words  | 2 Pages

    Writing can be very frustrating; laying your ideas out on paper so that others can grasp the concept you are trying to convey is a very difficult task. In Writing 101 I have learned how to formulate good theses that are arguable and also how to validate articles that have to do with my topic. The most important element of a paper is the thesis statement. It captures the reader's attention and tells them what the essay is about. Having a well-structured thesis along with evidence to support that thesis are the main ingredients to a well-written essay. I have also learned how important it is to research an author’s background to ensure their credibility. This is a very important step in writing because today we can find information on a topic, however, it is not valid. By researching the author, we can see if he or she is an expert in the area and so this would make his or her information more credible. There is a ...

  • Rhetoric Reflection

    2375 Words  | 5 Pages

    Each rhetorical strategy has helped me realize how much more knowledge I will walk away with from this class. When learning about ways to arrange an argument, the subtopics of process and problem-solution have seemed to help me that greatest amount. When giving a pitch for my business class, I arranged it in a type of process and ended it with a problem-solution. The way that an argument is arranged can make or break an argument. After learning tips on arrangement, my arguments have become stronger because there is organization. Learning strategies of persuasion have helped me to get inside my opponent’s head and persuade them in a more organized manner. Using things like description and cause and effect and helped me to lay out the core of my argument to make it easier for me to persuade. Rhetorical appeals can be helpful in any environment when speaking or writing. Pathos helps engage emotions of others so they can put themselves in your place and really feel for me when I am trying to prove a point. When completing a task such as persuading my parents, I can tap into their emotions to receive what I want. When using ethos, ethics can be useful to help me prove an idea because of credibility. When talking to someone about being a business student, I now make sure to emphasis that I am a direct admit student in the business school and involved in a business fraternity at the university. Others can understand my involvement and experience in business and trust my opinion. Out of all the rhetorical appeals, I believe that logos is the easiest and most effective to use because when arguing with others, facts and statistics help me to prove that I am actually correct if I have evidence. The last helpful skill that this class has taught me is the art of evaluating sources. For future papers, I now

  • What I Learned in Communication Skills Class

    760 Words  | 2 Pages

    During the course of this semester; the variety of writing styles and essays assigned to me in my communication skills class encouraged the development of my writing skills, as well as provided me with more self-assurance in my abilities. My writing, research, and presentation abilities enhanced through practice, determination, and the understanding I gained during this course. With every single writing assignment, I learned new innovative approaches and skills, which enhanced my abilities to improve my thoughts logically, enabling me to write more clearly, and to organize my papers more effectively. At the beginning of this semester; despite the fact that I already knew the terminology MAP: message, audience, purpose; I never really understood the significance of MAP. For this reason, my writing lacked clarity, organization, and my writings appeared less focused on the topics. As a result my research papers and essays did not flow as smoothly from one passage to the next. Furthermore, I was unaccustomed with the precise procedures used when writing an essay. For instance, my previous classes before college, although requiring a reference page, did not require me to include proper citations in my writings. After evaluating the quality of my writing toward the end of the semester, I recognized vast improvements in several areas of my writing. By concentrating on the beginning stages of my writings, I could distinguish ahead of time my audience and my message. As a result, my essays are clear, and I remain on topic. In addition to that using transition phrases efficiently also helps my writing to flow smoothly. The proper use of transitions makes my writings easy to follow from one topic to the next. I also learned that pre-writing...
