Le grand travail

Ne pas comprendre les idees, c'est ce qui nous laisse regarder fixement les ecrans et les feuilles en blanc. Ecrire de ce qui vous aide ou interesse du cours, ca remplit facilement les premiers paragraphes. Ensuite chacun des arguments, des descriptions, ou bien des explications vaut un paragraphe. En fait, entre le preliminaire et le final se trouvent les paragraphes remplis des exemples, des faits et des statistiques. Car, dans les toutes dernieres frases, il faut y avoir place a votre avis, en depit ou bien a cause du precedent.

Spin Paper

Many times it is not knowing where to go with an idea that leaves us staring at blank papers or screens. Barbara Lenmark-Ellis makes it easy for everyone to figure out HOW TO WRITE THEMES AND TERM PAPERS: get the reader's attention; make a short and sweet statement about the topic; put only one argument, description or explanation in each paragraph; and sum up why you feel the way you do, because of or despite the examples or proof in all the paragraphs between introduction and conclusion. I like the way she says to keep punctuation to a minimum with short sentences; tackle complex subjects with attention to flow, logic, organization while explaining one aspect at a time with simple words, examples and sentences; use one-sentence breathers for emphasis or transition; and to write about what gives you more useful knowledge, interests you, and pulls in what you are learning in the course. The author covers argumentative, descriptive and expository themes, so her book shows how to develop Rebecca Elliott's PAINLESS RESEARCH PROJECTS, Kathryn Lamm's 10,000 IDEAS FOR TERM PAPERS, PROJECTS, REPORTS, AND SPEECHES, and Laurie Rozakis's SCHAUM'S QUICK GUIDE TO WRITING GREAT RESEARCH PAPERS.
