The question this essay will ask is what important qualities did I learn in my first English Class of College? My essay will contain what I learn, the importance of what I learn so it can be used in my future essay, and so my reader can understand my level and standpoint of my essay. My essay will go in order of features I’ll use amidst a intro, body and conclusion.

Intro:

To start and essay at a college level, you need to create a sense of urgency, to attract your reader to read your essay, and before that you need a title that gives a thorough understanding of what your essay is about. So the reader knows before hand a broad but strong overview of what to expect in your essay. Then you have your research question, a research question helps to bring a sense of urgency to your paper if your question is either, practical or theoretical.  Practical question is a question that the reader may want to know the solution of, for example and commuter might want to know the solution on “How can the subway move more efficiently?”. A Theoretical question intrigues the reader to think of the possibilities and try to understand why you are asking that question. And then you have a the rhetorical triangle, which keeps your writing strong because your writing is based on the questions; Who is your audience? Who is the writer? And what is the context? For example my writing style may possibly change if my audience is for 6th graders discussing US history post-revolutionary war versus writing a paper to my professor. And my paper will change if I’m writing a speech or if i’m writing a proposal. Keeping the Rhetorical triangle in mind keeps your work strong, and easy for the reader and writer to understand and write.

Body;

Now to make me sound scholarly and intelligent, there is two ways to do that which will strengthen your paper, one way is to create a new term, and the other way which I coined the term Impartial Critic, which means you’ll find a point you don’t agree with disregarding who the writer is and you argue the point that was made. For you to disagree with a scholarly person, and state your point on why you think that person is false, shows that you know what you are talking about. And the coin a term, shows that you know so much of the topic, that your brain can summarize what you know in about two words. Or what other people do, is that they add what the scholarly person said, by saying that the author didn’t foresee that his/her work can be used in study, or time period, or etc. It shows that you can information and be able to transfer and connect it to something else.

Conclusion:

Then to end your paper strong, what many will do is go over briefly the main points of their body and restate their research question. My research question was the discuss what I learn in my first year of English. Doing so, I went over the importance of grabbing your reader with a sense of urgency, and a excellent research question. As well as, how to strengthen an essay by going over the rhetorical triangle, when you start to write. In your body, coin a phrase or term and become a Impartial Critic. And for the conclusion, ask a question from what you learned from your findings. If your question was how to make subways run more efficiently, and you found an answer, your question might be, In what ways can our economy benefit form these efficient subways? You are now taking a second step in your writing. So my question is, With the information and skill set I have now, how will that benefit me for next semester?
