I consider my previous high school writing experiences
somewhat like a kaleidoscope. Each individual essay offered a unique
perspective on my core values while still utilizing the same basic set-up. First,
I would methodically construct a clear thesis that would deliver specific, coherent
details on my stance on the prompt. Secondly, I conducted research with an
open-mind, willing to learn new on subjects that I believed I knew well. One must
always remember that one can gather more knowledge to better his or her chances
of getting across his or her ideas, after all. In essence, I would open myself
to all the information found while critically observing the invalidity of some resources.
One must be entirely conscious of the rationality his or her sources employ, being
sure to reevaluate the author of the source’s credentials. Writing a convincing
essay depends on the writer’s effort in visibly proving their arguments with effective
supplementary evidence from outside sources.
Very well written. It is great that you keep an open mind when you are researching information. Research projects are a great way to learn about more information and a great way to learned a about yourself since you are looking up a topic you may not be familiar with.
ReplyDeleteVery thoughtful, Lucas. The kaleidoscope metaphor is very clever--and appropriate to the topic. Even for college-level writers, it is often difficult to keep an open mind to new ideas during research.
