the points

I am very happy in my class because all my classmates help me to understand all materials from all lessons. In last meeting, 21st September 2012 at writing class we discussed about types of paragraph. Many friends presented their paragraph.
After discussed, here is points that i got :

• first is about argumentative paragraph. Argumentative paragraph always has clear motion, and the authors give their opinion, they agree or disagree with the motion.
• Definition paragraph we must show clear basic definition, examples, and details of examples. We can use experience for the examples, but not in details setting like in narrative paragraph. we can say that definition paragraph is part of expository paragraph or exposition paragraph because the function of definition paragraph to give information  for the readers.
• the last, we can know type of paragraph from the purpose of paragraph, the function of paragraph, and the characteristic of paragraph.

I think I must learn more for getting better, and I hope that you can help me. Don't forget to leave your comments. it can help me to improve my skills. Thanks for you all.

I NEVER GIVE UP TO GET THE BEST IN MY LIFE

Information from Discussion

In Friday, 14 September 2012, we still discussed about paragraph in our writing class. There were four students who presented their paragraph. For the first presenter is Putri. She presented clear paragraph about comparative and proses analysis paragraph. The next presenter is Yogi. He presented confusing paragraph. We can not know what the type of paragraph is, because he have been modified his paragraph. After that, the presenter is Nita. She present about illustration paragraph. The last presenter is Okta. She presented about discripsion paragraph.
There are many points and new knowledge which I could get from discussion:
o) In comparative paragraph, the topic sentence show somethings that we compare is. It can make us know that the paragraph is comparative paragraph.
o) Actually, proses analysis show in points or in steps, but it is better that we show in paragraph. It can easier to learn about the topic sentence, supporting sentences, and concluding sentence, because we discuss about paragraph.
o) The topic sentence not always the whole of the first sentence. Sometimes, we can make the topic sentence by our own sentence.
o) Topic paragraph is in phrase but topic sentence is always in sentence. Topic sentence always have subject and object. That is the difference between topic and topic sentence.
o) The last, we must always remember, if we want to make a good paragraph, it must coherent thoughts from one sentence to the next.

Thanks for Miss Vita and all my friend for your helping to make me understand about all materials. I am sorry if there are mistake in my composition. Finally, don't forget to leave your comments. It can make me improve my skill.

The new experience

Yesterday, in writing class, we discussed about paragraph. We identified paragraphs together, because two days ago my friends and I got assignment from Miss Vita to identify paragraph. We must identify at least  two types of paragraphs. Actually, i forgot that miss vita said like that. I thought, Miss vita said that we will identify all types of paragraph, like the examples of paragraph which have given before. Because of this reason, I identified 8 types of paragraph. In fact, not at all I could understand the types of paragraph. I have much problems when I identified paragraph. I did not know the key word or the key sentence from those paragraphs which can make us know the types of paragraph.

After I joined in writing class yesterday and discussed about types of paragraph, i know and understand how i know the types of paragraph. Before we discussed one by one the students presented their paragraphs.There are tree students who presented, Iswatin, Dina, and Lalang.  For the first iswatin, we could not know what the type of her paragraph, because she take this paragraph from essay. The paragraph in essay usually has relation from first paragraph until the last paragraph. After Dina presented I could conclude that the types of paragraph depend on the purpose of that paragraph it self, and from Lalang's paragraph is a nrration paragraph. From discussion, I know if paragraph is cause and effect paragraph, the main point must explain cause, effect, or both of them. Moreover, Miss vita showed the steps to make good paragraph and the steps to know what the types of paragraph is.

However, i still confused in illustration paragraph. I face difficulty to show my opinion in direct speaking. I hope all of you can help me to practice it and give more explanation about paragraph.

Thank you for my beloved teacher, Miss Vita and all my friends,
Don't forget to leave your comment in this blog, I think it can help me to improve my skill. See you in the next reflection.

paragraph

     A paragraph is a group of sentences. Paragraph can stand alone or as part of an essay, but each paragraph covers only one main idea. the main idea in paragraph is called the theme. Each paragraph there are topic sentence, supporting sentence, and final or concluding sentence.
     Topic sentence is the firs sentence of paragraph. Topic sentence tells what your idea or tells the paragraph is about. It is the most important sentence in paragraph.
     Supporting sentences help to develops the main idea of paragraph. Here, we give details information and specific examples as evidence of our pint.
     There are seven types of paragraph development :
1. Exposition
    The function of this paragraph to give information or explain something. Exposition paragraph give clear information to the readers. Because of the complete information, the readers can get new knowledge.
