An academic paragraph


During this unit we learned the process of writing a good academic paragraph. Previously, in other English courses, my teacher at that time taught to me basic rules about writing a paragraph. However, in the class I learned a lot more because the leaning process helped me remember the details. Personally, ppts and group exercises exercises were useful to practice and make it easier to understand also the teacher’s explanation, and the worksheets were helpful too. One of the exercises was about a worksheet, we had to analyze whether which of the five paragraphs were correct or not. Moreover, we did an exercise that involved analyzing another classmate's paragraph.









One of the difficulties I found was to find out the acceptable paragraphs. Some of them were easy to identify, however, others seemed to be fine, but they were not. If I want to write a paragraph in order that it has unity, I will need to practice more. I truly believe I can increase my knowledge with the exercises on blackboard. Another difficulty I found during the unit was that we had to apply what we learned since week 1. Since I obtained a good grade on my outline paragraph, I felt more confidence that I could achieve the goal for this unit. Finally, this week’s topic was crucial and very helpful for any career. From now, I will apply all the knowledge acquired in this unit, for example, for essays, papers, etc. The task for this week was to write an academic paragraph, I feel very happy because I got a good grade.

Another name for these prewriting techniques is “brainstorming techniques”.  There are five useful strategies which are listing, clustering and freewriting. Listing is a process of generating a lot of information within a short time by generating some ideas and then associate those ideas in more detail. Listing is useful if your starting topic is very general. Furthermore, clustering is a technique that allows you to connect and contrast numerous ideas. Additionally, it lets you see your ideas visually in order to understand various directions your paper could take. Finally, freewriting is a process of generating a lot of information by writing non-stop for a predetermined amount of time. It allows you to focus on a specific topic, ...

Final session!

My final thougths I truly believe that this course was really helpful for me because I learned many important things about academic writing. The structure of the course was well organized, we started from the basics and ended up writing different types of academic essays. Definetly all the knowledge acquired in this course wil be usfeul for my future specially in my carrer which is Translation and Interpreting. I feel more confident about my writing skills than in the past. There were challenges along the way, however, that did not stop me. I really loved the course and hope to take another similar in the future.
