Post 7: Comparing and Contrasting

 Hello Bloggers, 👋

Can you believe it?😱 We are almost at the finish line.🥳 Even though this was a short session, it was very informative. It almost feels as if the info was crammed, but that's neither here nor there. Tonight's topic is Comparing and Contrasting "Academic Writing in High School with Academic Writing in College." While both share similarities, they are certainly different. The design of both is to display info in the correct grammatical form, research ideas, and convince your readers. In both parts, you are to use proper citations to avoid plagiarism and credit the original authors. Here are a few points of view on high school and college writing. 

            High School: 

  • In high school, academic writing is used to show knowledge to understand a particular subject. 
  • Writing often draws attention to a formal, neutral voice. 

            College
  • College academic writing is generally more complex than high school writing, both in terms of the topics covered and the level of research required.
  • writing is often written for a specific academic audience, such as professors and other scholars.

Kate McKinney Maddalena's essay "Why First Person Is Important in College Writing" argues that first-person pronouns can be used effectively in college writing to strengthen arguments and establish credibility. This is a significant departure from the traditional guidelines in high school writing, which often discourage the use of first-person pronouns.

 Hello fellow bloggers, So, I am going to get straight to the point BUT I want this piece to be enjoyable to read also. But in my essay, I wanted to give some insight into why the education major would be a good fit and what some of the benefits of possibly having that degree are. It was supposed to be a little persuasive and slightly argumentative on how this major would be better than any others but I don't think I did a good job on that part. I tried to throw in a little logic only Because at the end of the day, this is just my opinion and not facts. From what I researched and from what I experienced pursuing this Education degree, you would be  Making a Difference , you will have the opportunity to directly impact the lives of young children, helping them reach their full potential and that is just to name a few. Who's to say other degrees won't have the same effect, but this is what I have chosen. A figure from Rebecca Jones just to show that I really don't have an...

Post 3: Read and Write like Mike Bunn

Hey there,  Thank you for reading my blog. It's a beautiful day or should I say "Night" haha to write blog # THREE!!! Here goes nothing. So after taking the time to read and try to analyze Mike Bunn's How to Read Like a Writer I've come up with a few things that I enjoyed and want to share with you all. I liked how Bunn explains what it Means to Read like a writer. Instead of writing just so that people would read your article you have to actually set a tone and make it so that your audience can understand and grasp what you have written. I noticed that Bunn mentions how he uses paraphrases instead of drawn-out quotes. Which I think is a plus. Because if you use a quote that only you understand how would you expect your readers to know what you are talking about. UNLESS they look it up but I doubt they would go that far. That's just a little bit of my take on the Mike Bunn portion of the reading space.  Again thank you to all who considered reading my blogs or...
