Journal 5

My favorite parts of chapter 16 are Lessons 1, 9, and 10.

Lesson one deals with Unity and Coherence. It is important that your work displays both of these qualities in order for it to be an impactful piece. Unity deals with the way each sentence flows with the next sentence. Coherence deals with the overall image portrayed by a passage and its relavence to the topic or thesis.

Lesson 9 deals with writing effective conclusions. The conclusion is often overlooked and under written. It is important that your conclusion serves as a retrospective of the key points of your essay and makes an underlying opionion or stance.

Lesson 10 deals with designing your writing. This includes what types of fonts, sizes, graphics and headings you use in your works. Many times these factors are predetermined depending on the type of essay you are writing. When designing your work, it is important to keep your design functional and not decorative. The design of your work often reflects your professionalism and dedication to your work.
