Since I'd written some essays before at my high school, I thought I had the basics down for essay writing. However, today's class showed me that there was a lot that I had forgotten or had not taken into consideration before. For example, I realized how a title of an essay can either pull someone into the essay or may have them pushing the essay back to its folder. I liked the examples we used such as "Bad Bananas" or "A$$h*** Aso"; they were very amusing! It also never occurred to me that one way to order our paragraphs could be to have it so that (if we use the Rule of Three) the second most important reason goes first, the least important reason goes second, and the most important reason goes last. At first, I wondered why it shouldn't be least important to most or vice versa. But then, I realized I hadn't really considered how the audience's attention span works and that this technique we learned today would accommodate that.
I hope I got everybody's topic down correctly... In case you didn't get mine down, it's: Is music education necessary in schools (wondering if I should specify this... i.e. limiting it to elementary), and if so, how? (I'm hoping it is, since I like music... lol)
Anyway, today was a really nice, sunny day :) Hope we get more days like these!
