Week 11 was very interesting in reading chapter 6 and learning about how not everyone is going to have the same opinions as you. How to respond to this is a positive way with evidence is very important. All the templates they give me in chapter 6 help me respond in that "positive" way. I really liked answering back to Jessica and giving her my counterpoints about her thesis. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to answer until Sunday night and I hope she got my counterpoints because I believe they are good and she can use them in her essay. Also, when she gave me her counterpoint number 2 was agreeing with my thesis and I wasn't sure how to answer that because I thought she was supposed to counter it? I am really nervous for next week to write a rough draft. Yes it's very easy for me to complete these tiny assignments that I am starting to understand. But I am very nervous about having to write a whole essay. But then again I feel like I am nervous going into every week.
Today's blog is all about Essay 3. I am feeling very overwhelmed. I have all this information I have been learning and I don't know how to put it into words. Overwhelmed is an understatement. It is very easy for me to complete quizzes where I can find the answers in reading or complete a small assignment. But when it comes to writing, for some reason it becomes very difficult for me. In chapter 7 So what? who cares? I didn't really understand what it was telling me to do. And how do I incorporate that into my essay? I have started the introduction of this rough draft and I have brainstormed a little bit but as far as the rhetorical appeals, I am also a little confused. I am definitely ready to write an essay with my argument that Athletes should not travel during covid. I will research different stats and put that in the essay. But like I said we have just been learning so much and it's a lot for me right now. I am excited to see tomorrow what I can accomplish.
