Blog # 7 today's class discussion

Today in class we discuss our writing assignment, E-mail Etiquette. Write an email to your instructor complaining about a grade and requesting reconsideration. This is the first writing assignment for the class and a very interesting topic, an email that may be used to help some ones grade in the near future . Mrs Crawford had the class to read the outlines aloud today in class, and discuss some of the details of the assignment.

When writing the email you should consider a few things: Email format, double spacing, white paper, black ink, and times Roman Numeral. also no slang, text language, and language also describe as street language. Mrs. Crawford also wanted the class to focus on the audience, what purpose will the audience have on reading the assignment, now that's the easy part of the assignment.

The paragraphs have to at least be six sentences, and two to three well developed paragraphs, this is getting in to the more complicated things. Thinking of so many paragraphs for such a simple topic can be very complex. But I'm sure I will figure it out some how, I usually do. Things are getting a little better for me, the more I write, and writing blogs help me out a lot with get familiar with the writing process.

Our class is being taught to elaborate on sentences, instead of just saying the house is green, go in to detail about the house, the house on 1919 North Main street is the only green house in the neighborhood. I will be referring back to my book for information to help me through this assignment. but I think it will be okay. We are starting to get a little more challenge on our writing skills, I need to work more on when is the proper time to add my comas, and periods.

This essay will be a good challenge for me to get back into writing more. The rough draft is due on Monday, and we are suppose to see a tutor before we turn it in, and all slots or filled, so this is not good, I hate not having things done on time, but I will have my rough draft ready for class anyway.
