Arranging your Document

How to best arrange your document for readers so that they can follow through and not get lost. There are four idea patterns that can help you to do this. The first one is  Hierarchy, it is consist of  the Thesis which includes a Topic 1, Topic 2 and a Topic 3 each of these topic contains details. The second form of arrangement is Sequence this includes time, space or priority. The third arranging is Response this includes Question and  Answer , Topic and Comment, Problem and Solution and also Cause and effect. The final arrangement is compare an contrast. With these patterns your reader will not get lost while reading you document.

Think positive

I can strongly relate to, the quote by Norman Vincent Peale that says “Change your thoughts and change your world.” Our actions are practical manifestations of our thoughts.  A change in our life can bring optimism or pessimism. In times of struggle and desperation, I find it hard to find the positive, and this leads my world in a bad direction. I have to constantly remind myself of a quote my mother would normally tell me all the time, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me.” That quote gives me the strength to change my thoughts and to change my world. We have to be careful of how we think because our brain adopts our thinking quickly. If you think negative then you will have negative thoughts and do negative things.  

Procrastination

What is Procrastination? Basically, procrastination is the act of putting off essential task until a later time. This I know we are  all guilty of . Most times we put off important things to do things that are not relivant and then we get backed up with the important work. Working and going to school full time is not easy at all, most time we don't have any spare time to surf the net ,play video games or even hang out with friends, I can agree with this. Most times I want to take a break from my books and go on social media but the next thing you know is I get carried away.  I usually set my alarm to remind me when to get off so I can complete my assignment or to study but sometimes when timeis up I end up turning off the alarm and say five more minutes and to my surprise five minutes has turned into thirty minutes. In my Strategies to success class we have been learning ways to aviod procrastination and it has been helping  I have made a few changes. I start giving my self rewards after completing my assesments on time, I take a break and watch tv and then back to work,  I have also created a study schedule.

New Position at work

I am a Medical Assistant, but I was working as a Receptionist in a Opthalmology office for almost two years.. Two weeks ago I told by my supervisor that I have been admiring me for the past months, and that I am doing a excellent job and that I have been very professional and helpful to the patients. I was so overwhelmed with all that good news even thou, I know I have always been.  She then told me that I have two opinions to choose from either to become a Tehnician or to become a Biller where I would submitt claims to the patients insurance company. Since as I went to schoool for Medical Assiting I figured it would be a great idea to choose technician. I started tarining last week and it has been great so far. I am so happy that I have been promoted at my job.

Writer's Voice

A writer's Voice can be defined as an individual writing style of an author, a combination of their common usage of syntax,dictation, punctuation, character development or dialogue. In every writing there is  a different voice, we just have to know what tone of voice to use. In my Doc 2 my voice will be expressed in a way to provide a sense that a real person is speaking and really care about getting the message across to my professor and fellow classmates. I will try to keep my voice consistent so that it will match my readers expectation. A lot of times I try to match people's voice and when I  actually see them in person they look nothing like what I had imagine .

My Doc 2

I am in the progress of writing my Doc 2 essay, I am so eager to complete it and see the feedback backs from my audience . In my essay I will be analyzing and explaining the flipped  classroom technique to an academic audience.This is a very interesting topic and I think my reader(s) will be amaze about the different things that can be done in this setting. I tend to learn more in this type of classroom and I am sure that I am not the only one. I think professors should start using this technique in the classroom student will definetley like it. In this technique the teacher can clearly see if the students are making progress or not. Today I mention the topic to my coworkers and they were like what is that? After explaning it to them, they think  it is a very interesting technique an that it should be use in all grade level and not just college. So I must say a big thank you to my Professor Keith Hamon for introducing me to such a delightful technique.

How professional Blogger handles Purpose and Voice

The purpose for writing is to communicate to a particular audience. By understanding your purpose for writing makes you feel better and want to write. Purpose should focus on two major things, first focus is informing and second is persuading. Your voice has alot to do with your writing, and as my professional said "you cannot use your texting voice when writing a professional paper". He even when further on by giving us examples of different voices that we use everyday with our kids, coworkers, or husband etc and they are all different. So when writing professionally we have to be very careful about the voice that we use .

Thesis statement

My Doc 1 handles its thesis very well. The thesis focuses on the my essay and tells the reader what the essay will be about. The thesis was clearly stated and I think it has drawn my reader's attention which I know will lead to a discussion. This is basically what your thesis sentence should do in every essay. These are some  questions that should be considered after writing a thesis: Does my thesis answer the question? Does my essay supports my thesis? Is my thesis specific or strong?  If you have never asked yourself these questions you should to make sure everything is connecting.

How I handle my reader

When reading a essay, story or any form of paper, you have to think about some important things that will draw your readers attention 100%. One of the most important thing is how to handle your  reader by knowing what they are expecting from you. In my opinion the best way to do that is to have a great thesis sentence and supporting sentences that will bring across your idea or point.  It is  always best to get your point across to the reader and not bringing them around circles.  If you do that then fore sure you will lost them. Our readers will sometimes give a negative feedback but that should be a plus for us, by correcting the error or problem and make it better next time.

Every one has a different point of view and the way how I might see something another person may not. If this happen most likely there will be a problem and the group project might not get done,or one person may end up doing all the work. Another point is that in groups one person most times end up doing 75% of the work. However working in groups also have some advantages it helps indivduals to interact with one another and share there different point of view. Most people find this enjoyable and alot of skills can be developed.
