Pending Reflection


Reflection IV
28th September 2012
This meeting, the presenters are Aris, Aci, Hamdy, Ima, And Aida”Kajol”.
Aris presented about argumentative paragraph, the topic of his paragraph was women and the topic sentence was women join military. The next presenter is aci. Aci’s paragraph told about definition paragraph, there are no any interruptions, because her paragraph was very clear that that’s definition paragraph. The third presenter was hamdy rois. His paragraph was cause and effect paragraph. In the first time, I thought that rois’ paragraph was exposition paragraph. Because the paragraph just shows the effect, but finally I agree that it is cause and effect paragraph, even the major point is the effect. Next, ima told about a paragraph which she thought that that’s argumentative paragraph, but after read the whole paragraph and understood the main idsea and the purpose of the paragraph, miss vita and us agreed that ima’s paragraph is report paragraph. Little bit difficult to indentify that paragraph but if we read the paragraph carefully, we will know the purpose of the paragraph. And then, the next presenter is aida dewi sukria. She told about cause and effect paragraph. In this case, aida’s paragraph is same with hamdy’s paragraph. The effect stronger than the cause point but I thought that’s good paragraph. The last presenter is aida part 2 (mufrotul faida). She had illustration paragraph. Her paragraph told about Craigh Jones. Illustrate relationship between the writer and Craig jones. Craig Jones is the true friend of the writer.
When workshop, I analyzed aida’s paragraph. She told about the classification of reason why village like city.

 Reflection V
In this meeting, there are two presenters. Lilies presented about two paragraph. The first paragraph was classification paragraph and the second paragraph was process analysis paragraph about scanning. The last presenters were trias. She told about persuasion paragraph. But, because of the paragraph didn’t full fill the characters of persuasion paragraph we discussed it again, finally we decided that trias’ paragraph was explanation paragraph.

Reflection VI
I analyzed dini’s paragraph in process analyses paragraph. There was no mistake and that’s good paragraph. I analyzed aci’s paragraph, there was no big mistake, but must be more careful in punctuation. In argumentative paragraph, I analyzed aida’s paragraph. I found something missing in aidas’ paragraph. Because aida didn’t consider the opposition’s argumentation, so it’s better that she added the information of opposition’s point of view in her paragraph. And the last is illustration and persuasion paragraph. I analyzed lilis’ paragraph. In her persuasion paragraph, I thought that lilis’ paragraph was not persuasion. Because there were not element to convey the reader to do the instruction based on the paragraph, and I changed the paragraph to be persuasion paragraph by using the same information. And ther was no problems with her illustration paragraph. I can understand more by analyzing my friends’ paragraph. We can improve our writing skill by practice it, because when we just know the theory but we never practice it, we cannot measure aour ability.

  • aris' paragraph is argumentative paragraph, at that time aris little bit confused with his topic and topic sentence of the paragraph but because we disscussed together, finally aris and also ll of us understood the topic and topic sentence of the paragraph. the topic  is women and the topic sentence is women join military. we had to focus when we wanted to analyze paragraph. one come I emphasize that we have to consider the whole sentences of the paragraph, not only the first sentence or the last sentence of the paragraph.
  • the second presentator was aci, she explained about definition pargraph and that's paragraph was ey clear. good paragraph and god job for aci... ^_^
  • hamdy explained about cause and effect paragraph, the first time I didn't agree that it was cause and effect paragraph because the cause event in the paragraph did,t show clearly, but after I read and understand more, I got the point of the paragraph and I change my mind that that's cause effect pargraph.
  • ima's pargraph is repor paragraph, even if the first time she decided that her paragraph was argumentative paragraph. argumentative pargraph have to strong position of the writer.

Learn From Mistakes

Before sharing my reflection, I would like to thanks to my beloved writing lecturer and all of my classmates :)

Wow, Amazing...!!

Studying in writing course is very interesting. Actually in this meeting I made mistake, but by the error I learn something. When I do assignment I must concentrate. My first paragraph which have posted in facebook was wrong because there was no clear topic sentence. So, I cannot identify my paragraph. We will know the type of the paragraph from the topic sentence and also the purpose of the paragraph itself. From dina's paragraph I got new insight, I might not judge the paragrahp just because the topic sentence but I should understand the whole of the content of the paragraph.
Argumentative paragraph is paragraph which has strong position of the writer and shows agree or disagree statement, such as I don't like or I wouldn't have. we cannot judge a paragraph which has transition signal is always included in classification or proccess analys paragraph. I have understood about cause and effect paragraph. The topic sentence of the cause and effect paragraph must show or explain the cause and effect event. From my mistake I am more understand about types of paragraph and I have already posted my new paragraph and I hope that's the right and good paragraph.
Let's discuss together and I still wait for your comments in my blog guys...thx :D

Paragraph


My First Reflection

Paragraph is a group of sentences that develops one main idea or a topic. Every sentence works together and create an impression. Paragraph only has one main idea. There is most important sentence in paragraph is the topic sentence. There are three elements of a paragraph are topic sentence, supporting sentence and concluding sentence.
1.     Topic sentence is a sentence which introduces the topic and states the main idea. It is located in the first sentence of the paragraph because it will give an overview oh the sentence fo follow. A good topic sentence must be able to :
inform the reader of the subject that will be discussed in the paragraph, control the idea or attitude about and to limit the topic.
2.    Supporting sentences is sentences which develop the main idea of the topic sentence. The supporting sentences are written after the topic sentence, so they can give specific and detail information of the topic sentence and reader can understand about the purpose of the paragraph.
3.    Concluding sentence, it is the summarizes the main idea of the topic sentence. It shows the big and the most important point the main idea of the topic sentence.
All of the elements of the paragraph have to have coherent thoughts that are developed in order fro, one sentence to the next and the paragraph will be a good paragraph.
      There are seven types of paragraph development:
  •  Narration
Narration is a piece of writing that tells a story of an evennt or expirience. It is usually easy and fun to write. When write a narration, usually we tell the story with a beginning, a middle, and an end. In the narration reveals something of importance to you, includes all of the major events of the story (introduction-climax-resolution), uses details to bring the story to life and presents the events in a clear order, usually according to when it happened.
  • Exposition
Based on the source which I have already read before, exposition is a paragraph which arrange the sentence based on the importance or logical order. But rather similar with narrative and descriptive paragraph.
  • Definition
Definition paragraph is the introductory sentence of the paragraph is definition sentence of the main idea of the topic. When define the topic of the paragraph we may not use dictionary meaning. But we must use world meaning to make the story to life and all readers able to understand the term.
  • Description
Description paragraph is a paragraph which descripe about something (think about intersting people, favorite place you have been. And think about an object you know a lot about). Description paragraph writing uses sensory details (sensory detail that appeal to the five senses: seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling, and feeling) to paint a mental picture of a person, thing, place, or event. By description paragraph we can inform a reader about something (place, event, object, subject), we can share an experience, give a report (event report or journey report) and also we can entertain a reader.
  • Comparison
Comparison paragraph shows 2 information about something in the same time by comparing both of the objects. Based on the example of the source the paragraph campares between Lylod beach and O’Leno. The paragraph compare the condition in lylod beach and O’leno point by point. The first point which is compared between Lylod Beach and O’Leno is the criteria of both of the place. The second point is about the condition of both of the place and many more.
  •   Process Analysis
The paragraph exlpains and analyzes how or show a the steps in a process. It usually uses transitinal signals first, second, then, next, finally. According the example of the source the topic is how to put up a particular brand of tent.
  •  Persuasion
Explaining and analyzing topic to try to make others do something or to argue for an opinion. Persuasion paragraph can persuade someone to change their mind to do something.

Warning !      
I get trouble when I am understanding about exposition paragraph. Because there are some criteia of the paragraph which are same with description and narration paragraph. May be Miss Vita or you all guys can give me some explanations and examples  about this. I write the reflection according my understanding  after read the source.
