My presentation

The third reflection. On Wednesday, we discussed descriptive text.I analyzed descriptive made by Aida’Kajol’. Em..She described Hintrik R, one of actors from india. Her desription is so good. I like it. On Friday, it’s time to present. Some of ours present about any paragraph. On the middle discussion, I little confuse between explanation and definition. They  look like same. I also presented about process analysis. At the first I read, I thought it was classification but I reread again and I am sure it is process analysis. We have homework to make comparrison and contrast paragraph. Spirit guys in process learning. ;)

curious

 This is my second reflective blog. This week is so curious. I get new knowledge there. On Wednesday, I had made narrative text and Aini checked my narrative and gave comments. So did i. I also checked and gave comments Aini’s narrative. So I can learn about her text. On Friday, some of my friends presented about paragraph. There were some parts that make me curious. What is different between explanation and illustration?  In my mind, illustration explain about the event with explain and explanation only explain something. But is it true? On that day, there is misunderstanding between yogi and the student. I think from that moment we can’t cut or modify the paragraph because it will make confuse. So guys please help me to overcome   and we can discuss it. ;)

Reflection of Paragraph

 Assalamualaikum

                I have learned much knowledge about writing, especially paragraph. From last meeting, we discuss about paragraph. I earned descriptive, narrative, exposition, definition, classification, and others. The mostly I know from this week are:

·         Descriptive is to describe something so the readers can imagine it. (For a long time before, I know descriptive just describe something, only that).

·         Process analysis = procedure text.

·         There is comparison, contrast, classification, illustration. They are new paragraphs that I know.

·         I know how to differentiate between comparison and contrast.

·         Don’t just paragraph from its cover.

However, I don’t understand some of parts. There are:

ü  How we differentiate between descriptive and definitions?

ü  Sometimes in argument paragraph, I found persuasive sentences. What about it?

That’s all I have learned and I don’t understand yet. Maybe, there is some question later. Please help me about it and we discuss together. Hopefully we can understand about it. ;D

Paragraph

Assalamu’alaikum

            This is the second assignment.It is about Paragraph. I have red and learned it but I do not understand some of them. I will explain what I have learned. The theme is paragraph. There is three papers about paragraph. First, that is Topic Sentence, second is “what is paragraph”, and the third is Seven types of Paragraph Development. I will combine the first and the second. Let’s check this out!

Topic Sentence / Paragraph  ---  What is Paragraph

            Paragraph is  not usual paragraph as I know for a long time ago. It is more. Paragraph is group of sentences which work together to convey idea, feeling and impression. Paragraph consist of three parts, they are topic sentence, supporting sentences and concluding sentence. Topic sentence is a principal point what we will write and mean. It is called theme and of course it is in the first sentence. To be good topic sentence, it should be brief, compact, clear and make the readers continue rading more and more.Supporting sentnce are group of sentenceto explain topic sentence.Supporting idea should be logical, connect with topic sentence or theme and having proof and examples.The last is concluding sentence, which is summary what we have written. We write what we mean or the key sentence.

Seven Types of Paragraph Development

            If we will write, we have to know what the paragraph type is.There are seven type of paragraphs. They are narration, exposition, definition, description, comparison, process analysis, and persuasion.

Narration is a story in the past. It has character, setting, goal, conflict, climax and resolution. Narrattion usually in the folklore and fable. As I know, narration has moral value. We get lesson from the story. Is it true?. Exposition is a paragraph which explain about something. It is only explanation and idea and not to persuade the readers to agree the writer. So the readers can be trust or not about the explanation. Definition is a paragraph which we definate something. It is not from dictionary or “according to”. So we definite it from our words, not only that but also we intrigue the readers to read and we show what they do not know. Description is a paragraph that we describe something like place, fruits, vegetables, etc. We make it clear. Make sure that we don’t tease the readers without the reason. I little don’t understand what the mean is in  the paper.Maybe I have to learn more.  Comparison is a paragraph that we compare two thing or more. First we make a list what the point that we compare like table. After making it, we describe to the paragraph according to the table. If we make something that we compare is good or bad, until the end it should be good or bad. So we have to be consistent. Process Analysis is like procedure I think. It explains how the way to do something ir how to make it. We should be sure that the readers can follow it. If possible, we make diagram or picture in order to the readers know it easily. Persuasion  is a paragraph that we make the readers agree about our opinion. So we influence the readers and we give information, analysis, proof. If we combine with their own opinion, it will make the readers are interested. The readers will be glad if we do it.

That’s all I have learned. I realize that I have to learn more and more about paragraph because sometimes I am difficult to compare it. I am sure that we can learn it and make a good paragraph. Hopefully….
