I also liked reading her paragraph. I noticed that a lot of the examples of writings in the book are quite interesting. I read about topics that weren't interesting before. I guess it really just depends on the writer, if they're good or not.
Wong's paragraph could have been made into a three page paper because it covered a good topic. Wong did a good job conveying the point in her paragraph. Balance is needed in life because imbalance leads to unhealthiness. Wong did not use the same writing process as me because she wrote too much of it down, I usually do all of those things mentally. Most people skip the first two stages because they take too much time and they want to get on with their lives.
I agree with your last statement. Most people do skip those two steps. But they can actually be very helpful in the over all effectiveness of your paper.
I agree with you. I think her topic would have been good for writing an essay. I also like your last statement. I usually skip the first stage or I would do it mentally.
I really liked her topic. It is something that you could have wrote so much more about. I wouldn't normally use as much of the writing process as she did. But with a topic like her's you need all the background information possible. The first and second stage are rather important. And if you skip them, you run the risk of your essay not being effective.
I agree that skipping the early stages is a bad because they are important, but I do not think it is as important to write these ideas down. Most people by now are good enough writers to do these stages mentally.
I agree. I believe that my past essays weren't as effective as they could have been. And that is because I would skip the first two stages of writing. Taking this course made me realize that although the first stages aren't fun to write, it is essential for a good paper.
Wong's topic was very interesting. I liked how her essay turned out. For the first stage, I prefer listing or free-writing when it comes to this particular topic. Overall, Linda Wong did a good job with the writing process worksheet. Again this is a good reminder of using the three stages of the writing process.
I think she is fake and the authors of our text book made her up. It seems like too much work for the authors to find tons of young people to write essays for a book.
So I'm assuming we discuss Wong's writing process worksheet here as well. I noticed that someone questioned if these writings come from actual people or if the authors make them up. I am also curious about that. Well getting back to the topic, I think the paragraph was well written. However, majority of other think it isn't very great. It's making me second guess myself. Although in stage one, it might have not been easy to follow, it is just a different thinking process. We all would've had different ideas based on our knowledge and experiences. So I think that stage one is for the writer's benefit not the readers'. The final draft is what counts. For a short assignment of about 300 words, I think that it was necessary of her not to include so many details. It would have been too long.
I find it very interesting what others have said so far. When we think critically, like if she is a real author and if it is well-written or not, I think THAT it is the point of analyzing her worksheet. I don't think accuracy is as important as understanding as well as challenging each other :)
Linda Wong's topic was fun to read. I like her topic. The paragraph was very organized. Wong did a great job using all three different stages of the writing process. Although some of us think that it would have been better if Wong used listing instead of clustering, Wong still did a good job using it because she's more comfortable with it.
Like what others have said, Wong's paragraph was very interesting. I think she pointed out her main points. But like everyone has said, I think skipping some steps may affect your writing as a whole.
I don't want to repeat what everyone said, but I would have to agree with everyone. We read Wong's paragraph in class today and the paragraph was pretty interesting and she pointed out her main points very well. Skipping steps can really effect what you're writing about because it won't catch your readers attention, nor do you want to bore them to death.
I liked reading Linda Wong's paragraph, I wish there was more. I'm curious of her subject matter and how she played with.
ReplyDeleteI always wonder if these paragraphs come from real students or if the author's make them up.
DeleteReading the essays in the book kind of helps me when I write because it gives me an example of what my train of thought should sort of look like.
DeleteThat is a great way to learn how to become a better writer because looking at other essays will show you their thought process when writing.
DeleteI also liked reading her paragraph. I noticed that a lot of the examples of writings in the book are quite interesting. I read about topics that weren't interesting before. I guess it really just depends on the writer, if they're good or not.

ReplyDeleteI agree with your last statement. Most people do skip those two steps. But they can actually be very helpful in the over all effectiveness of your paper.
DeleteI agree, the piece could have been lengthened. Then again, the assignment was only to write a paragraph.
DeleteI agree with you. I think her topic would have been good for writing an essay. I also like your last statement. I usually skip the first stage or I would do it mentally.
DeleteIt's true. Writing EVERYTHING DOWN can be very time consuming.

DeleteI also agree with you. I used to skip the first two stages and I usually ended up having a writers block when I went straight to writing my paper.
DeleteYeah, i agree skipping steps may affect your writing.

DeleteI also wonder if the authors of the book write them. Other than that, I enjoyed reading Wong's paragraph.
DeleteI prefer listing as well. I think it's more organized to list.
DeleteYes i somehow think she was made up for us to use as an example.
DeleteYup! It was a good way to help us remember what the stages are useful for.
DeleteI like listing as well, it makes everything look organized to me.

ReplyDeleteYes it was fun and interesting to read.
DeleteThe paragraph was very interesting and straight to the point.

ReplyDeleteYes, I think that even if some steps are okay to skip, we should still exercise all steps since we're not experts yet.
DeleteSkipping a few steps should be fine. Like, Angela said "we're not experts."
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteLinda Wong's short essay was well thought out to me. The steps of the writing process are very useful when written out like that.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!... Super late.
