Hello Class,
We are going to take a break from the blog this week so you all can spend time writing your first essay. This forum can be used, however, for a discussion forum on your essay. If you have any questions for me between now and the rough draft, please post them here.
- If you get stuck try freewriting, this 10-15 minute writing exercise will help you break up some of the writer's block.
- If you need assistance with grammar and punctuation rules, please refer to to the reference section in your Keys for Writers. Author Anne Raimes includes an entire section towards grammar and punctuation. Plesae read the color-coded tabs for information regarding this section.
- If you quote an outside source, which was not a requirement for this essay, please make sure that you create a Works Cited page. In English classes, we observe the MLA format. If you are not sure what that looks like, please reference your Keys text.
- Finally, if, while your writing, you feel like you want to scream. Get up and take a break. Sometimes walking a way for a little while reinvigorates you.
We will resume the regular blog schedule next week.
Thank you,

Happy Chinese new years and valentine's day everybody. Im stuck on my essay and i was wondering what word you guys are using and how you are utilizing it.
Hello Ms Wanzo
I'm trying to do my essay but don't know really know what to write about
Could you please give me some ideas and direct me in my writing Please
Hey Ms. Wanzo, I really need help on the essay as well. Did you say that we are not supposed to write the essay in the first person point-of-view? I seem to recall you saying that we can't say "I", like "I think that we should say..." or "I used to say," but I wasn't sure if I remembered correctly.
I'm also having trouble writing enough about one word.
Can anyone tell me the subject
what are we supposed to write about
Hey Ms. Wanzo, I also wanted to ask how we use our own experiences in our essays if we cannot write the essay in a first person point-of-view. The paper says that the "students persuade through his or her own experinece but use specific analysis to support his or her thesis," but I can't see how I would relate with my experinces if I cannot write in first person POV.
This is only assuming that we are not supposed to write in first person. I just wanted to make sure in case.
Racquel M. Kirkeby to Anonymous:
I have selected the word "gentleman." In the intro and thesis, I explain why it is important to understand what a gentleman is and how it pertains to this assignment. Fortunately, I managed to pound out a little over 4 pages of text, plus a works cited page. Good luck!
Hello Charline,
You are going to think of a work that should be included in one's vocabulary or eliminated. You have to define the word for your audience and then persuade him or her of your position.
Say for example, I want to teach people to use the word "positive," I need to first define it and then I would provide specific information on why it would be good for them to incorporate it into his or her language.
I hope this helps, unfortunately, I cannot give you the word, you must choose that on your own.
Ms. Wanzo
Hello Ricky,
This is a great question. If you are telling a narrative , I perspective is fine. But if you are telling a narrative, then avoid using "I."
Ms. Wanzo
Anonymous,
The essay subject is on the handout that I distributed in class.
Here it is:
Essay 1:
In your first essay, students will persuade his or her audience to use a new word. Students will persuade through his or her experience but use specific analysis to support his or her thesis.
For example, may be you learned the importance of using standard English. Now you want to convince high school students to use standard English as a way of improving his or her communication skills.
Define 1-2 words and give them reasons why using this word may be better for him or her.
Another example: maybe you want to persuade a “nerdy” person to be more hip by using a “cool “word. So you define a couple of common slang words and explain why they are more socially acceptable or “cool to use.”
You can use any words but profanity.
MLA Format: 12 pt. Times New Roman Font Double Space Works Cited Page (if necessary.) (See Keys for Writers)
Rough Draft Due: 2/16/10 --Bring 3 copies to class for Peer Review
Final Draft is due on 2/18/10
Hello, Ms Wanzo. I am sorry that I am also stuck in this essay. I tried to be open-minded, but I just felt so much pressures and barriers when I started writing it. Again I really apologize for this. I acknowledge this is a nice essay topic that can really challenge my writing skills. But at the same time, my anxiety cannot be stopped since the deadline is approaching.
May you give me some helps please? It is also an expectation of mine to finish this essay on time, with an outstanding content.
Hello Ms Wanzo
I started my essay few days ago but I stuck with what I should write. I want to introduce people keep critical thinking. I defined word thinking and critical thinking.
I am wondering that we must write about the word people can use everyday or we can write word which may affect people's thought?
Hi, Ms.Wanzo. I tried to work it out during the whole weekends and holidays, but I only got few things done. I have lots of questions about this essay. I wonder if there will be time remained after our peer evaluation, can you please talk about the essay topic again?
Hello Anonymous Writers,
I'm not sure what's going on. What's the problem? Neither of you identify much detail so I'm not sure what you need assistance on.
Hello Yilin,
"I am wondering that we must write about the word people can use everyday or we can write word which may affect people's thought?"
You can choose what ever word you like. It's up to your. You have to be creative and think about it, however.
Mrs. Wanzo;
I am caught on how to introduce the word i am trying to persuade my audience to use i have tried narrative and it doesn't seem to sit well with the direction i am trying to take. how long would you like this rough draft to be????
