On September 16th I believe I was absent that day Even though I was I did the assignment that our class was required to do which was creating a thesis and a draft plan for our email etiquette essay. What I found difficult was at first I had no idea what a thesis really was. I heard of it but never really used it in any assignments, so I was kind of lost. A thesis statement is the ending sentence of the first paragraph or introduction of the essay that gives what your paper is going to be mainly about. It was good I had my book it really helped out a lot. The part that I also found difficult was at the time I couldn’t really stay focus on the main topic. I kept writing the same thing over and over. I really have trouble elaborating and making the essay seem longer without repeating anything that I have already said. I think I am getting a hang of it though such as putting more detail into one little sentence. Other than having trouble with all of that my draft kind of went ok. What I did first before I started my draft was I got another piece of paper and started writing down ideas that would pop up in my head it is easier for me to do it that way. After that I typed out my first draft it didn’t work out that good so I had rewritten it on a piece of paper. Will just say it went better than the draft. What I thought went well was the middle of my essay. Everything that I had put into my idea paper started to blend in with everything else. It was a good idea that I had did that and the thesis had also helped out, because whenever I was about to get off topic I would go back and look at my thesis so it helped me stay on topic.
