discussion 1 english

Online class discussion provides a forum for thought-provoking, intellectual, and engaging discourse amongst students and the professor.

The ENG101 Discussion Forum is designed as an online peer review writing workshop.

A peer review writing workshop is a student-centered and student-driven framework in which students post a one-paragraph mini essay and then provide/receive constructive feedback to/from a community of fellow learners.

FIRST, students post an initial response within the first 6 days of the module start, thus allowing ample time for classmates to respond and engage.

Mini essays should include a thesis statement, three points (including details and examples as support) and a conclusion.

Mini essays are to consist of your own thoughts, words, and ideas. No secondary sources are to be used in this essay.

SECOND, students respond to at least two peer mini essays.

When responding to other students’ writing (and in order to earn full point values), students are encouraged to provide specific details and examples related to the mini essay in question. When providing feedback, students should consider the following:

• Does the essay include the required parts? If not, what’s missing?
• Does the opening sentence attract the readers attention? Why or why not? What makes it interesting or how might it be improved?
• Is there a thesis statement and is it clear? If not, what is unclear? Does the thesis relate to the supporting points?
• Are there three specific points in the paragraph? Is each point introduced with a topic sentence?
• Is there enough detail/example in the paragraph to accurately support the thesis? If not, what could be added?
• Is the closing effective? Does it summarize the content of the mini essay? If not, how might it be more effective?
• Is the mini essay free of sentence skill errors? If not, what are the specific grammar, punctuation, and/or spelling errors? Is the diction (word choice) appropriate for an academic audience? If not, which words should be avoided?

Please note that a peer review writing workshop is an opportunity to provide (and receive) constructive feedback from an academic community in order to improve ones writing. It is not a venue for chitchat or a place to discuss how one relates (or does not relate) to the writers’ points of view.

In an organized and well-supported one-paragraph mini essay, respond to the prompt below:

• Looking back on your life, what advice would you give to your former self?

The first person “I” may be used in this mini essay.

Good Morning ,

If I could go back in time and tell myself one thing it would be to: trust yourself more, stay organized, and learn how to be patient with progress. To begin, I would tell myself to trust yourself more because there were many times where I knew the answer to something or had good ideas but was scared to speak up. I would let my fear of being wrong or judged stop me from saying something worth hearing. If I could go back, I would say speak up and trust what you have to say! It could benefit you not only educationally but also allow you to make more friends. Next, I would tell myself to stay organized as procrastination and poor organizational skills were the main things that caused me stress. There were times where I left things to the last minute only to realize I could have done it faster and with less stress if I started earlier. If I could develop this skill earlier it would have made school and life duties easier. Last, I would tell my younger self to learn how to be patient with progress. I would often get discouraged when I saw no change or when others were far beyond where I was. However, as I’ve come to understand change takes time and no matter how small, your effort still counts. In conclusion, I would tell my younger self to trust yourself more, stay on top of your responsibilities, and remember everything you put in will pay off!
