On our first meeting this week, our teacher returned to us the outline we passed last week. She then began discussing how to properly write a sentence outline. She first discussed the correct format and parts of an outline. Once again, I took the liberty of copying what she wrote.
Then she illustrated the way the main topic, subtopic and subsubtopics are stated by revising one of the outlines a classmate of ours made. The outline was all about the advantages of the internet to its users.
Then we corrected the assignment we were tasked to do which was all about identifying the topic sentence and its position in a paragraph and identifying the main topic and controlling idea of a topic sentence. I learned a lot from checking the assignment which I hope will be useful someday.
Unfortunately, our teacher was going to leave for Manila tomorrow so she wouldn’t be able to meet us on Thursday. So she just left us an assignment aside from the usual blogging assignment. The assignment was that me and my partner should cut out paragraphs from different texts to familiarize ourselves with the methods of paragraph development. Thank God I didn’t throw away all those old magazines. It seems they still have some usefulness…
This week also I have just finished reading the book entitled The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. Reading the book suddenly awakened the bookworm in me. And the book contains lots of historical facts and trivia which is just what I need to feed my appetite. As you all know, I am a fan when it comes to books with historical connections. And so I hope I can balance my time studying, eating, sleeping and reading.
Many people think reading historical novels is boring because they think past is already past so why bother writing about it.
Well, my reply is an old French saying: “Il n’est jamais trop tard du changer l’histoire!” (It’s never too late to change history!)
And so here ends this week’s scoop. Gotta go…catch you guys later!
