Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Concept which i already knew

            I knew about the grammar. But this chapter learnt much more about grammar. Grammar is the tool we use to tie all our ideas together. Process of developing flow of thought from sentence to sentence is called as elaboration. It involves 3 steps: choosing the core idea, choosing the way we want to elaborate it, choosing the way we are going to bridge it into core idea.

            There are 2 ways of elaborating the sentence: 1. Reason why 2. Narrative sequence.

New things that I have learnt

*      What is the core idea

*      How is it elaborated

*      How is it summarized

-   2 ways of elaborating

*        Reason why

*        Narrative sequence

*      Meaning of logic

*      We should express the changes in focus while beginning new sentences.

Things that I already knew

-  Paragraph are the collection of sentences, it also has upper limit

-  Both grammar and connector are concerned with one goal- to transfer thought into other’s mind.

-  When we shift from one core idea to other, we change the focus. It is arbitrary

-  Instruction is the process of teaching someone how to do something.

Mistakes

-  Not able to understand the question.

-  Solved questions in group.

Concept that I used in blog post

            I improved my writing skills in my blogs.

Concept that applied

           This chapter will be helpful to me in writing the assignments and giving the presentations with good knowledge of the grammar. I applied my skills which I learnt from this chapter. Thus this chapter was helpful to me to improve myself in communication and in writing.
