...completed worksheet to your drop box submission. You will work to create your thesis statement and a basic outline for a comparison/contrast essay. There are two patterns from which to choose, and you will select ONE below. Creating a Thesis Statement and Basic Outline for the Comparison/Contrast Essay I.) First, you’ll choose two items to compare and contrast. There are some great examples of items to compare/contrast on pages 229-230 in our textbook, especially #9, #10, #11, #12, #14, and #15. Fill in the two items that you will compare/contrast. A.) Nokia 7110 – the first effort at taking the Internet onto a mobile (1999) B.) Amazon Fly – Taking Image Recognition Software to its next level (2014) II.) Next, you will identify three criteria that you’ll use to evaluate each of the items. Think about three qualities or characteristics of the two items that you can evaluate to choose the better item. For example, in the Week 10 Sample essay, the writer compares/contrasts the cost, nutrition and taste of two types of bread. Fill in the three evaluative criteria you will use to decide which of your two selected items is better. 1.) Internet capability 2.) Ability to take pictures and record videos 3.) Text messaging III.) Now, you will create your thesis statement. The thesis statement of a comparison/contrast essay sets up the path of the paper just like a traditional thesis statement. However, it is based on your opinion about which of two selected items...

...TERM PAPE A term (or research) paper is primarily a record of intelligent reading in several sources on a particular subject. The task of writing such is not as formidable as it seems if it is thought out in advance as a definite procedure with systematic perpetration. The procedure for writing such a report consists of the following steps: 1. Choosing a subject 2. Finding sources of materials 3. Gathering the notes 4. Outlining the paper 5. Writing the first draft 6. Editing the paper Now let's look at each of them. CHOOSING A SUBJECT Most good papers are built around questions. You can find subjects in any textbook. Simply take some part of the text that interest you and examine it carefully. Ask yourself the following things about it to see if you can locate a question to answer in your paper. Does it tell you all you might wish to learn about the subject? Are you sure it is accurate? Does the author make any assumptions that need examining? Can two of the more interesting sections in the text be shown to be interrelated in some useful way? Your paper is an attempt to write a well-organized answer to whatever question you decide upon, using facts for the purpose of proving (or at least supporting) your contention. The most common error made by students in choosing a subject for a term paper is to choose one that is too general. (The most specific subject will always have enough aspects to furnish a long paper, if you think about it for a while...

...My overall impression on my speech was better than I anticipated. I was very nervous and anxious to get the speech over. I could tell that in the pace of my speech. I was rushing through it and at times it was hard for me to keep track of my place on the outline. I thought I gave good eye contact and I stayed on the speech path, but I could have projected my voice more so that it would have been easier to hear and understand what I was saying. I felt that the delivery was good but I could have moved around more and gave more hand gestures to keep my speech alive. Although I didn’t feel it was a boring speech, I feel like I still tell showed how nervous I really was by the body chemistry I gave off. I prepared a lot for the speech and I went over the speech 3 times in front of the camera at home. I think this helped me a great deal because I had full knowledge of what my speech was about. Because I was nervous and rushing through my speech I often lost my place on my outline, but was able to wing it because I had practiced. It helped a lot that I did my speech on a topic that I am very familiar with and used to talking about. I also used the technique in the chapter that tells you that when you are nervous take a deep breath and use a focus word, mine was “Money”. This technique helped me a great deal in the beginning because I actually felt overwhelmed and on the verge of an anxiety attack. Using this technique calmed me down and made me able to deliver my speech. ...

...As I look over my freshman essay, I remember the process in which it took to compete this essay. I strongly believe with the skills that I’ve gained over the years, would have helped me with the development of this paper. At first, I thought this essay would be the hardest thing that I would have to do within my college career. However, as I’m coming close to the end of my college career I realized I was wrong. Nonetheless, looking at my freshman essay now, I do see how I’ve grown within these past for years. Within my freshman year, I realized didn’t take the time to actually analyze my topic to where I could have understand it more. Therefore, it didn’t come out the way that I’ve envisioned it to be. The topic of evil is a widespread and extensive topic. If I was to approach this topic now, I would have done more extensive research on the nature of evil. This would have made me more knowledgeable about the topic at hand and helped me determine how to start this paper. In addition, before beginning this essay, I should have created an outline to help guide me throughout my paper. The outline would have given me the opportunity go through the research that I’ve gathered and helped to be more critical on how I wanted to present evil and it’s different levels. Doing this would have help me to develop this essay within a more critical and organize matter. While reading my freshman essay, I find myself coming up with more ideas of how I could have develop my point of view of the...

...websites, before choosing one that I deemed credible. Aaron started the outline, and we all agreed to turn in our assigned sections of the outline. However, Michael informed us he would not be attending class, so we had to complete his section. We decided to post our portions of the presentation to OLS. On Monday I posted all of my information, and added all information and the outline. Aaron added the conclusion and posted all of the work between the both of us. We put the information together even though our third person quit. I think our presentation would have been better if we would have known sooner that Michael would not be a part of the project. Aaron and I didn’t have the opportunity to meet and go over our presentation together. Aaron works nights, making it hard for him to meet during the day. Alternatively, we decided to post our work to OLS, in order to modify our work together. I posted all of my slides on Sunday night, and Aaron reviewed them. He also added pictures and created the quiz, and then added some pictures to the slide. After, I looked over our work and increased the amount of questions we had for the quiz, along with additional pictures for the slides. Aaron looked it over one last time, then proceeded to post our outline and PowerPoint. The ouline was not very difficult to create, as we just restructured the information on our slides into a condensed format better suited for an outline.
