Describe-one-descriptive-writing-pattern-being-used-in-the-essay
This week, you begin writing your journal entries. This journal is designed to give you practice in academic writing, which is very different from the personal essay writing that you have been practicing. Academic writing entails making a point and supporting that point with information from a reputable source. There are three ways to support a point with information from a source: quoting, paraphrasing, or summarizing. This week, you will practice quoting a source and citing that source in your journal entry. Please be sure to read and review the “Example Journal Entry – Quotes (Links to an external site.)†document, which describes how to integrate quotations. You should also review Guidelines for Quoting Sources (Links to an external site.) and English Composition I: Integrating Quotations into Sentences (Links to an external site.).
Note: The journal assignment should not be confused with a personal journal. This activity requires organization, effective stylistics and grammar, and proper source incorporation. It is not a free-writing or reflective writing exercise.
