Due to the fact
that it has been a while since I have taken an English class, feelings of
concern were starting to arise. Some of these concerns included essay structures, outlines,
conclusions, introductions and coherence, however after reading chapter 3 information I thought I had forgotten, as well
as new information began to seep back into my brain and reassure me. Along with
the essay structure outlines and intro examples being especially helpful, the body paragraph and achieving coherence tips really stuck out to me and will be
something I plan on referring back to. Furthermore,
I found there were some great tips through the chapter when using Microsoft
Word to draft. For example, those of us
who are easily distracted (Me! Me! Me!) Turning off your computers auto correct
during rough draft stages helps to avoid being distracted by grammatical
errors. I also learned about a nifty little
feature called Track Changes, which “Allows you to revise while preserving the
original draft. Your changes will not become permanent until and unless you
want them to, so you can easily return to and restore all or part of your
earlier work (Clouse 77).” All in all
chapters 3 of the textbook had some great information that I plan on using as a
kick-start to my new English 121 journey!
