I read the pre and post test and the pre test did not have did not have a clam that could be argued in two sentences. And the post test have more evidence by far because I have already did the unit. And also the pre did not have a conclusion. And brightest we're organized in different ways in every single way. I will use a lot of things from this unit in the future like how to organize it and the work sited page. I improved as a writer by the way I have the claim. And I am most proud of my post teat with the score with what they showed like grammar and spelling
ReplyDeleteI read my post test and pre test twice. Both pieces have a claim that can be argued in two ways. The Apple CEO argument could say he is good or bad. The music helps kids work argument could be argued by teachers that it is distracting and kids it is helpful. My CEO of Apple essay has more reasons to prove my claim. Both essay have a conclusion. In the pre test it was more quotes and in the post it was organized by personal experience and statistics. I learned about argument essay that I can come up with good topics. I grew and improved as a writer by organizing details. I am more proud of my Apple CEO essay because it has more reasons to prove my claim.

ReplyDelete2. Read your post-test essay twice.
3. Do both pieces have a claim that can be argued in at least two ways?
Both pieces have a debatable claim.

5. Does your essay have a conclusion?
Both essays have a conclusion.
6. Did you organize your essay differently from the pre-test to the post-test?
My first essay was organized better and I used spaces. But on the day of the second test I had to write multiple essays. My first test was more neat and had more evidence, because I could go online and research on the first one.
7. What did you learn about writing argument essays that you will use in the future?
I learned that you should take time for good, detailed reasons and spacing them. But I knew that before, and I didn't learn much of anything new.
8. How did you grow and improve as a writer?
My first one was better, so I'm not sure what that means, but I didn't improve.
9. Which essay are you more proud of? Why? Explain.
I'm prouder of my first essay because it was more detailed, had better, broader reasons, and it's organized neatly.

Post test because I was able to write more and way more detailed it was a subject that I kno better
(I don't have a pre-test)
ReplyDeleteI read the post test and i do have a claim that could argued in sentences. The post test had more evidence because i don't have the pre-test, My post test had a conclusion. I don't know if I organized my essay differently because I don't have it. In the future I will use works sited pages. I improved by paragraphing better, I am most proud of my post test.
I have read both the pre-test and post-test 2 times. Both claims can be argued in two ways. The pre-test has more reasons than the post-test. I think it might be because in the pre-test we were allowed to research. We weren't allowed to research on the post test. Both of my essays have a conclusion. I did organize my essay differently. My pre-test was 4 paragraphs. Reason 1,2,3 then the conclusion. I learned about writing argument essays that evidence is important. All that matters is using evidence. Also that you explain your evidence. I grew as a writer by realizing that length isn't everything. It can be short but get the point across easily. I am more proud of the pre-test. I had no idea it was coming and I just went out there and wrote something very good.
ReplyDeleteI mean good grammar and that lebron is better than ok and for good reason

ReplyDeleteDo both pieces have a claim that can be argued in at least two ways?
Yes, because... They both have at least two reasons?
Which essay has more reasons to prove your claim?
My pre test and my post test have the same amount of reasons.
Does your essay have a conclusion?
I think only my post test has a conclusion.
Did you organize your essay differently from the pre-test to the post-test?
Well, both times I forgot paragraphs in my work, so I would say not really. But inside my writing, I'd say it's a bit better in my post test than my pre test.
What did you learn about writing argument essays that you will use in the future?
I learned how to organize my writing, so it looks better and is easier to read.
How did you grow and improve as a writer?
I improved on organizing and I would say I'm a bit more persuasive.
Which essay are you more proud of? Why? Explain.
I am proud of both I would say because they are both persuasive but one has a more important topic in my opinion, and one is more organized.

DeleteI read my pre-test and post test twice. Yes, both my paragraphs have a claim that can be argued in at least 2 ways. My post argument has more reasons. My post argument has a conclusion but my pre argument doesn't. No, I didn't organize my paragraphs differently. What I learned about writing argument essays is that just because you need a direct claim and a direct conclusion. I grew as a writer by learning that you need more than one reason. The essay that I'm more proud of is my post essay because I knew more than I did when I started and I had lots of reasons. I also had a claim and a conclusion.

I have read my post-test essay not only twice but three times to remember all of my facts and that goes for my post-test essay. i think that my post-test ways better than my pre-test because i think that i new more after the pre-test. it feels like i have added more facts that looking back on what i did with my pre-test. one of my topics was that you should or should not clean your planes after you eat off of them or not to do so. one of my reasons why not to is because you can accidental poison your self from all of the bacteria on the pan. my essay has an easy conclusion because it understands everything that you had to do with the understanding of the question and or the problem. Defiantly the hardest thing that i had to do is organize the paragraphs and make sure it all makes scene. i have learned many different things when i was doing both pre-test and post-test but the one that i had to learn the most about or the one that i did learn the most about is the actually it was the pre-test because it filed like i had more time of doing the pre-test than any other test before. the thing that i will use in the future is that i will need to take more time to do all of the little things and make sure everything is perfect. i think me personally i did better on the pre-test then the other test because it feels like i added more information on the pre-test than the post-test.

ReplyDelete1. Read your pre-test essay twice.
I read it twice.
2. Read your post-test essay twice.
I read it three times
3. Do both pieces have a claim that can be argued in at least two ways?
Yes, both have a very debatable claim.
4. Which essay has more reasons to prove your claim?
The pre-test has more evidence and reasons to prove my claim because we were allowed to use the Internet to help us find statistics.
5. Does your essay have a conclusion?
Both essays have a conclusion. But, my post-test has a more detailed on topic one.
6. Did you organize your essay differently from the pre-test to the post-test?
My pre-test is more organized because of the evidence and support I chose. But, the post-test has more practiced evidence, since we have been learning about that.
7. What did you learn about writing argument essays that you will use in the future?
I learned that argument essays have a mix of reasons and facts. For example: To make an argumentative persuasive you need debatable evidence and a reasons that came from your experience, and statistics to make it sound smart and there would be good proof.
8. How did you grow and improve as a writer?
I grew because know I know how to write an argumentative essay that is debatable from both sides. I improved my writing because now I know that in order to write a true informational piece, you need to add a works cited page which has the following: author, title, website, date published, Web. the date you read it. If you don't then you might get in trouble.
9. Which essay are you more proud of? Why? Explain.
I am more proud of the post-test because I chose a topic that I knew and cared more about. It might not have been the most organized but is has a debatable claim, three pieces of evidence, support sentences for the evidence, personal experience, detailed reasons, statistics & facts, a conclusion - that re-states my claim, and works cited. My pre-test was almost as good as my post-test but I didn't know what to put in it.

6. I did organize my essay differently from the pre-test to the post-test.
7. I learned that it is good to know what argument essays are because if you want to argue with someone about something you don't agree on, you can.
8. I improved and grew as a writer very well. I went from not knowing what an argument essay is, to knowing what an argument essay is.
9. I am most proud of my post-test argument essay because it is an argument essay. The pre-test argument essay is not an argument essay.
i think my post and pre-test can be argued in two or more ways because it is about two different sports who people think are tougher than the other. i think my pre test has more test has more reasons to to support my claim because in each sentance there is at lest one little detail that supports the claim.
ReplyDeleteI read both of them twice
ReplyDeleteDo both pieces have a claim that can be argued in at least two ways? No, in the pre-test the beginning sentence only has what I think but no reasons to follow, but the post-test has a claim and it can be argued in 2 ways along with the pre-test.
Which essay has more reasons to prove your claim? My pre-test has more reasons to prove my claim.
Does your essay have a conclusion? Yes, both of my essays have conclusions.
Did you organize your essay differently from the pre-test to the post-test? Yes, my essay is more organized in the post-test then in the pre-test.
What did you learn about writing argument essays that you will use in the future? I learned that the order of the essay should go, claim, reason, reason, reason, and conclusion. I would use that order in the future if I had to wrights complaint letter to my boss.
How did you grow and improve as a writer? I improved as a writer because now instead of being limited to writing only one topic most of the time I have a bigger variety of topics I can write.
Which essay are you more proud of? Why? Explain. I am more proud of my post-test essay, because, it is much more organized, it has a bigger variety of evidence, and it is much more sophisticated then my pre-test.
I read my pre test twice and my post test twice. Both pieces have a claim that can be argued in two of more ways. I think that my pre test has more reasons to support my claim because on the pre test we could look on the web for reasons. On the post test it had to come from our brains.
