Today in class we talked about how to start a paper. This was very helpful. Here are a few examples that we talked about: Some good ways to start your essay are: 1. great/amazing quote 2. story 3 . personal experience 4. opinion.
Next, Mr. Sweeny passed out some handouts and wanted us to get in small groups and write an intro about " mosh pits." We could write if we were for or against it. Then, the class went around and we got to hear everyone's intro sentences .
This way a great way to hear how everyone varied their introductions on the same topic. This was a fun way to learn this concept rather than just hearing a lecture on the subject.
I really enjoy getting into groups and working together. I feel that is really helps the class react with eachother. His teaching concepts are always really fun and help me a lot. I love his class.
ReplyDeleteThe mosh pit exercise was beneficial. It gave us all an opportunity to practice writing intros. We got a chance to see how different groups utilized the way information was given.
