This week, you begin writing your journal entries. This journal is designed to give you practice in academic writing, which is very different from the personal essay writing that you have been practicing. Academic writing entails making a point and supporting that point with information from a reputable source. There are three ways to support a point with information from a source: quoting, paraphrasing, or summarizing. This week, you will practice quoting a source and citing that source in your journal entry. Please be sure to read and review the “Example Journal Entry – Quotes” document, which describes how to integrate quotations.

Both of the personal essays we have read this week, “Sister Flowers” and “I Want a Wife,” use narrative and/or descriptive elements (refer to sections 6.3 and 6.4 in Essentials of College Writing), and each has a clear purpose.

Write about one of the essays assigned in this week’s readings. In 250 to 500 words

Sister Flowers – http://genius.com/Maya-angelou-mrs-flowers-from-i-know-why-the-caged-bird-sings-annotated

I want a Wife – http://www.columbia.edu/~sss31/rainbow/wife.html

State the purpose of the essay.

Describe one descriptive writing pattern being used in the essay (refer to section 6.4 in Essentials of College Writing).

Explain why you think that descriptive writing pattern is used well by the writer.

Incorporate a quote from the essay and properly cite the essay.

Explain how you plan to use the same descriptive writing pattern in your personal essay.

Describe at least one writing task that you believe you did well on when writing the Practice Essay in Week One.

Describe one writing task that you believe you need to work on based on your experience writing the Practice Essay.

Describe three grammatical errors that you had the most difficulty with on the Grammar Assessment. To do so, go into the Gradebook and click on your quiz score. When you see a question with a red “X” next to it, this signals that it was answered incorrectly.

Share what you plan to do to further maximize your strengths and resolve your weaknesses.

Use specific examples.

Your initial post must be 200 to 300 words
