  1. Hello. I'm going to do a quick
  2. uh video here
  3. of review for the essay
  4. because um you all might be a little confused.
  5. Remember from your powerpoint
  6. for this,
  7. you are looking at
  8. the different points that you're going to explain.
  9. Um You are still writing an essay, you are still finding a unique point.
  10. Don't give me a factual paper, right?
  11. Um
  12. Make it something unique, make it a little more related to today.
  13. Um I don't need to know about your topic from like the
  14. 18 hundreds unless it's really relevant to what you're going to discuss.
  15. Um
  16. So the Inquirer, right?
  17. The Inquirer here,
  18. um
  19. talking about,
  20. you can be the Inquirer for your paper.
  21. You can be, you can analyze and explain your material
  22. or you could be the reporter, right?
  23. You are presenting some different ideas, but you're presenting your unique,
  24. interesting ideas,
  25. you might advocate or present certain points that are unique,
  26. right? Whatever you're writing about, make sure it has a point to it.
  27. Um Why are you writing this? Why are you telling this? What are you analyzing?
  28. If you are an interpreter,
  29. those are the different roles you can take however, in any job
  30. or in any writing process or any class you're creating interest
  31. for your readers don't start off with the same old topic.
  32. Um,
  33. find the interesting angle from your research.
  34. That's why you guys have to have good research
  35. websites with two or three paragraphs are not gonna help you
  36. analyze what the situation is or even what you're talking about.
  37. You've gotta find some cool ideas
  38. and you've also got to figure out what is the, so what,
  39. why are you telling us this, if you were writing about a future career?
  40. Um If you are writing about
  41. a topic,
  42. um
  43. you were still finding the relevance to it, not just bunch of factual information.
  44. What's the unique angle that you're presenting
  45. whatever point you're making as a reporter?
  46. If you're a reporter and you work for the New York Times,
  47. you still have to have
  48. material that you're presenting
  49. to your boss. That's interesting. That's unique.
  50. So don't forget you're so what? Right.
  51. This is the main reason you're writing these papers, you were not in high school,
  52. you were in college
  53. and you're trying to prevent present that unique material.
  54. It's not just a book report. Now,
  55. um it's really getting in depth about your topic
  56. and finding that unique angle that you're reviewing.
  57. So the overview, if you read all your material, if you looked at that powerpoint,
  58. we are writing a sourced best based
  59. essay using research from your annotated bibliography
  60. please read all my feedback on those.
  61. And from your recent material I actually uploaded,
  62. had to copy and paste the PDF S which was a pain.
  63. Um
  64. put them back in and attach them
  65. so you won't be able to make changes on that one.
  66. But that was the only way I could give you feedback on that,
  67. but make you sure you write for a narrow audience.
  68. OK?
  69. Um In
  70. an audience create the interest be an ongoing academic conversation
  71. in your paper,
  72. position your viewpoint in relation to your sources, right?
  73. We are still finding a unique aspect that you're discussing,
  74. even if you're talking about future careers.
  75. Think about why you would tell people about this career.
  76. Um Are they gonna make more money with this?
  77. Are they gonna be able to use this career in the future?
  78. Is this career going to exist in the future?
  79. Um And in what, what form
  80. so and think about your outcomes, you're transforming the research,
  81. you guys had very limited research, some of you had great research,
  82. but some of you had
  83. nothing to put in to make a paper. So you might have to really go back and find
  84. good articles in order to make points to argue with. You've got to have statistics.
  85. Um If you're telling about a subject, you need to
  86. or a career, you've gotta tell what that career does.
  87. Um So give the viewpoint and perspective which
  88. your audience can navigate through your sources.
  89. Think about, if someone else is reading this, can they understand it?
  90. Maybe read it out loud to a mirror.
  91. Um, you still have to have a thesis and support for your thesis.
  92. Um, narrow your audience down. Don't just say,
  93. um,
  94. I'm trying not to use your specific papers. Don't just say
  95. technicians. Right.
  96. What type of technicians if we're talking about computer careers?
  97. Um, don't just talk about computers. What, what are some computer fields
  98. that you would discuss? And, and how are they relevant if you're arguing about
  99. different types of phones and what would be
  100. uh better? Right. The same thing.
  101. Why is it relevant to the people who are using it today?
  102. Pers
  103. persuade your audience to take action
  104. or feel a certain way? Right? That's another aspect. You can do
  105. review your prompt.
  106. That is your directions for this essay.
  107. Do not write with contractions,
  108. do not write with I, we, you, you ours
  109. only, he she it
  110. or they
  111. third person only
  112. do not use phrasal terminologies.
  113. OK.
  114. Uh Be careful with those little phrases that we
  115. say all the time that aren't formal language,
  116. use formal language in this.
  117. What are the common debates? Know the debates and ideas of your topic today
  118. right now, your careers, what, what types of things that are talked about in careers
  119. for? Here's some examples.
  120. Uh I know no, none of you guys are writing about
  121. this one except for number three,
  122. So if you were writing, if you were asked to do a paper,
  123. an argument paper and you were gonna just write in general about racial issues,
  124. that's, that's not gonna make a good paper.
  125. Now, a good paper today might be about
  126. police and building community relations, right?
  127. That, that would be relevant for today.
  128. Um If you were asked to write a paper and you chose something like global warming,
  129. um A general paper about definitions about global warming and
  130. what's happening is not gonna make an effective college paper,
  131. but carbon emissions
  132. uh saltwater effects on electric powered cars. That's more up to date.
  133. That's more relevant.
  134. You can get into specific points. It is an arguable, more of an arguable topic.
  135. Now, it's a little more narrowed
  136. uh career answers, not just about the career, but why are you telling this,
  137. what will the future jobs be available in the field or how
  138. will this career be relevant in 2030 something along that lines,
  139. report on something.
  140. But, but if you're writing a report on something,
  141. you are not writing a high school report on
  142. about it and defining it.
  143. You're thinking about a major piece for a major magazine. Think about
  144. what would you write to get your boss to be happier
  145. about it if you wrote for the New York Times,
  146. how would the public love it?
  147. Ok. So really think about this when you're writing,
  148. what is someone else going to look at that piece and say,
  149. um are they gonna think it's a college level piece?
  150. And are they gonna think it's relevant
  151. for today's society and for your topic?
  152. Ok. That's, that's the main thing I would have to say about this one.
  153. You're doing great. Keep going. I know an online class is a pain.
  154. I really appreciate some of your fantastic questions.
  155. Um If you get stuck, right? I am here. I can zoom.
  156. Um I will answer questions on D two L.
  157. I will answer specific questions about your drafts,
  158. right? So don't be afraid to reach out an email.
  159. All right, keep going. You got this
  160. love you guys.
