The paragraph structure

Paragraph Hamburger | Taller de escritura, Actividades para niños ...
After completely understand the definition of a sentence and how it is structured. We continue with the paragraph. The slides during class, the teacher's explanation and the documents on blackboard helped me to understand completely how to make a good paragraph. However, I believe I need to practice more.  


One of the most difficulties from this unit was the topic sentence. It is complicated for me to build a good structure for a topic sentence and since it is the most important part of a paragraph because it defines the central theme, I need to improve this. In the past, some teachers taught about the paragraph and its topic sentence, however, I tried to apply the knowledge to my papers with an unsuccessful result.

Finally, I believe I have achieved the learning objective. For this unit, the task was to make an outline of a paragraph.

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 exerci...

Academic sources

The goal for this unit was learning more about plagiarism and how to support the arguments with evidence using APA style. The ppts and documents on blackboard helped me understand better about academic sources. We started the unit watching a video about plagiarism. This video helped a lot because it solved my doubts. According to the APA style, the hand outs were useful. In the past, I have always had trouble with appropriate citation; however, I will keep these two documents on blackboard for my personal use due to its concise information. Moreover, the exercises in class allowed me to practice harder and differentiate paraphrasing, summarizing and quoting. I found the chart below particularly interesting because it is very clear and easy to understand. Besides, we did many exercises about paraphrasing and summarizing. Since they are very similar, I really got a little bit confused; however, I could practice better in padlet during class. Personally, I bel...

Pre-writing techniques

In our second class, the teacher introduced us the pre-writing techniques. These techniques are used in writing to generate and classify ideas. There are several effective prewriting activities to implement than directly start by making an outline. 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, ...
