In-Class Blog

I chose to do a traditional paper, so I really don't think there are many obstacles with my final essay. I think the hardest part is always picking a side and then giving valid reasons to why you are right. We have already done that. The brief synopsis was the hardest part. It took a while to think of good points that contributed to the side I choose. All I have to do now is take those points and create a well written thesis statement. After that the paper starts coming along. You take each point and start elaborating. That elaboration creates the body of your paper. After that all you have to write is the conclusion. Overall the most difficult thing to do is to pick a side and give good reasons as to why your side is correct. After you have that done, the rest of the paper is really simple. I think the brainstorming and outlining are the hardest parts of writing essays.

  1. Sounds good, Harveen. Don't get too caught up in picking a side - as if there are only two. Your argument can be more complex than that (i.e. "I agree with A, but I don't think B is a good idea...").
