Blog #4

The synthesis essay has been the hardest one so far. After reading the stories, I had two possible topics to write about. Looking over my notes and key points, I decided on language and literacy. This interested me the most because I could relate to Amy Tan and Mike Rose.

When it was time to start writing, it was difficult to put all my key points into one main idea. So to help myself out, I used TS/CD. This made my life 100 times better because all my ideas were organized. It has really helped me out alot when I do not know where to begin my writing.

At first it was a bit challenging when we were given articles and told to do TS/CD on them. But now I can do it without having to put much thought in them. I will keep doing TS/CD for as long as I have to do essays. It will help me organize my ideas and make my paper flow nicely.
