2nd Quarter Favorite Blog Post
I think that my best blog this quarter is the one entitled "Stop Illegal Immigration." I have a clear topic sentence and then go into details as to why we should stop illegal immigration (how it affects America's economy and the safety of American citizens) and provide specific statistics. At the end of my essay, I cite the source (the illegal immigration hotwire) from which I got my statistics. I think that my arguments are reasonable and well-structured; my overall point is to explain that our safety and the economy would be much better if we stopped illegal immigration. Another reasonable point I make is that I have absolutely nothing against legal immigration, just illegal immigration.
My Best Blog Post & Blog Reflection
I have written many blogs exploring different topics that affect us Americans greatly. I think that my best post so far has been my post entitled "Americans & Science... A Good Match?" I believe that this is my best post because it is about an important field that greatly influences American society: science. This post is based off of an article I read. I basically challenge the way that science is taught in the United States, a valid argument, and include good evidence, some of which even comes from my own personal experience.
In many cases, I base my blog posts off of articles that I read relating to American society or class discussions. I think about the key themes of the article/discussion that I find interesting and important and, in my blog post, will generally agree with, question, or challenge them. I always try to include evidence, and sometimes the evidence is even based on personal experience.
I have learned a lot from the process of posting/commenting. I have bettered my argumentative writing because in each of my blogs I have a claim that calls for the use of evidence. I have also furthered my knowledge of current issues in America because some of my blogs were based off of them. Additionally, I have learned multiple perspectives about my blog topics based on other students' comments. When commenting on other students' blogs, I am learning about an issue that I generally find to be interesting and am voicing my personal opinion.
