We are now preparing for our first essay assignment. It will be an email to our teacher complaining about a recent grade that we do not agree with.
This is the first essay I have to write since I was in high school. It is a little intimidating for me, but I have yet to find a challenge that I could not over come. Its is like riding a bike, once you learn how to ride, you never forget. I was very impressed with the example Mrs. Crawford used to help prepare us for the essay. It caught ever bodies attention, but at the same time helped us to learn. This essay should not be very difficult for the class. Mrs. Crawford gave us a step by step guide to help us prepare. She also discussed it in class. There should be no reason for me or any other college student to have problems with this assignment. I also learned today what the CC and BCC means when emailing. I now know what thesis means which I'm sad to say I didn't know. I must say that English is the one class that grabs my attention. The teaching method is perfect for me. We all read out loud from our email etiquette exercise. That helped us participate and get the information in our head.
The only thing I feel I might have trouble with is the rough draft. We have to get tutoring to turn in our paper. That means somebody else will have to review my work. It is always hard to have somebody point out your mistakes. Although the criticism will be a great learning experience. It will also insure we are on the right track with our paper. Which means there is no reason to fail. MEOW

I like your blog because like the one I read before yours it was really informative and had a lot of details of what we did this day in class. I think you are right when you said there should be no reason for anyone to have problems with this assignment because I think we all can do this with a little bit of help on something we might not understand. I also like how you have confidence that you can do this essay even though you have not been in school for a while and that you have yet to find a challenge that gets in the way! I also like the meow at the end! (:
