Blog week 12B

Learning how to write essays properly has been a great growth experience for me. Having the rhetorical tools explained and being aware of them helps me to be a better writer and turn out a better reading experience for anyone who picks up my paper. Knowing and being aware of the different rhetorical tools available to me help me focus on what it is I want my reader to feel and ways to express those thoughts and emotions to evoke the response to any essay, story or blog for that matter. Being able to brainstorm and get all the information I want to get down on paper and then organize it into a proper chronological process needed to reach my readers makes the task of writing an essay a lot easier and a more rewarding reading experience.

Today I am supposed to tell you how to write an essay. First off when writing an essay it helps to know what your topic will be. Give it a title; we can change it later if it doesn’t fit. But it will give us something to think about while we move ahead. Every essay has a three main parts, your introduction, body and conclusion. Once you know what your topic or story will be about you want to get down as much as you know about the subject and put it all down on paper and just call it your body. Show it to a peer or classmate and have them preview it to get their input. You can come back to this and hammer it out into a fine point once we have something to work with. Once it is all down you want to pull out your Rhetorical tools and start the refining process. Using Rhetorical tool such as Visual gaze, Visual Rhetoric, Descriptors (Subjective and objective), Definition, Classification and Division we will hone our body of information. After the hard part is done we can write our Introduction and Conclusion. At this point we can go ahead and prepare our Thesis statement, what exactly it is that we want our reader to get out of our paper, and make sure our conclusion restates according to your Thesis statement. Have a tutor or someone versed in checking for grammar and content look over your paper. Correct any mistakes and turn that puppy in with the appropriate cover-sheet.
