This week, you continue writing your journal entries. This journal is designed to give you practice in academic writing, which is very different from the personal essay writing that you have been practicing. Academic writing entails making a point and supporting that point with information from a reputable source. There are three ways to support a point with information from a source: quoting, paraphrasing, or summarizing. This week, you will practice summarizing a source and citing that source in your journal entry. Please be sure to read and review the “Example Journal Entry – Summarizing (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.” document, which shows how summaries can be integrated.  Note: The journal assignment should not be confused with a personal journal. This activity requires organization, effective stylistics and grammar, and proper source incorporation. It is not a free-writing or reflective writing exercise.  The personal essay we have read this week, “Consider the Lobster (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.” uses narrative and/or descriptive elements (sections 6.3 and 6.4 in Essentials of College Writing), and each has a clear purpose.  Write about one of the essays assigned in this week’s readings. In 250 to 500 words •State the purpose of the essay. •Describe one descriptive writing pattern being used in the essay (refer to section 6.4 in Essentials of College Writing). •Explain why you think that descriptive writing pattern is used well by the writer. Incorporate a summary from the essay and properly cite the essay. •Explain how you plan to use the same descriptive writing pattern in your personal essay.
