<p>Wharrison: </p> <hr /> <div> <br /> == Wiki ==<br /> <br /> <br /> (n.) A collaborative Web site comprises the perpetual collective work of many authors. Similar to a blog in structure and logic, a wiki allows anyone to edit, delete or modify content that has been placed on the Web site using a browser interface, including the work of previous authors. In contrast, a blog, typically authored by an individual, does not allow visitors to change the original posted material, only add comments to the original content.<br /> <br /> The term wiki refers to either the Web site or the software used to create the site.<br /> <br /> Wiki wiki means “quick” in Hawaiian. The first wiki was created by Ward Cunnigham in 1995.

University Professors do not allow wikis in writing college term papers or essays. (3)<br /> <br /> <br /> == TRADITIONAL ESSAY WRITING ==<br /> <br /> <br /> To Write a good Traditional Essay one has to engage in the sequential process and go through all 5 steps:<br /> <br /> '''Step 1.''' Analyze the Essay Question.<br /> <br /> Discuss: Make observations about the subject by using facts, arguments and reasoning.<br /> <br /> Describe: Illustrate the topic using words.<br /> <br /> Show: Set forth clear position or idea. Support it with facts and reason.<br /> <br /> Explain: Make the essay plain and understandable. Present logic, causes and reason.<br /> <br /> '''Step 2.''' Organize the essay through the formal outline as the one below:<br /> <br /> 1.Introduction.<br /> <br /> 2.Body.<br /> <br /> a. Body Paragraph One.<br /> <br /> b. Body Paragraph Two.<br /> <br /> c. Body Paragraph Three.<br /> <br /> d. ...Body Paragraph X...Referred transition.<br /> <br /> Conclusion<br /> <br /> '''Step 3.''' Write the introduction.<br /> <br /> The writer states clearly what the essay is about and what they are trying to prove. Traditional essays urge the writer to restate the essay question. The writer has to maintain third person perspective and avoid meaningless statements such as &quot;the essay will speak about&quot; or &quot;the essay is going to&quot; The essay topics will be presented in the body paragraphs.<br /> <br /> '''Step 4.''' Write the body paragraphs.<br /> <br /> The first body paragraph includes the topic sentence, supportive evidence and a closing sentence. The same format applies to all body paragraphs. The essay may have as many body paragraphs as necessary to answer the essay question.<br /> <br /> '''Step 5.''' Write the conclusion.<br /> <br /> The writer summarizes the subject of the essay by restating the question in a different way. In conclusion, the writer expresses their personal opinion and conclusion about the essay question. Essay conclusion in a traditional essay is a summary of the body of the essay to prove the writer's point.(2)<br /> <br /> == Reference ==<br /> (1) http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/w/wiki.html<br /> <br /> (2) http://www.essayplant.com/traditionalessay.php<br /> <br /> (3)http://essayplant.com/wikiwriting.php</div>

<p>Wharrison: </p> <hr /> <div>A strong title should do two things: (1) get the reader’s attention and (2) accurately inform the reader of the essay’s topic, subject, and purpose.<br /> <br /> : The Media: Free or Controlled?<br /> <br /> This title is weak because it asks a question rather than take a position and makes the reader believe that the writer is indecisive. Does the writer have an opinion and will it be presented in the essay? No, there’s nothing wrong with an exploratory essay if that is what your professor assigned, but generally college-level essays will require you to make an argument and support that argument; see purpose. The above title suggests indecision.<br /> <br /> A strong title will present the subject of the essay as well as the assertion, even if it is just a hint. Like an opening sentence, your title should get the reader’s attention, so it should nto be too long or too detailed as this may dissuade the reader from even continuing. Try to be succinct and interesting:<br /> <br /> : Star Trek’s Positive Vision: The Future of Humanity<br /> <br /> This title explicitly states the essay’s subject and offers a positive connotation about the subject to the reader. While it may not address the topic explicitly, it does provide a subject and a direction that the essay will develop.<br /> <br /> Every noun and verb should be capitalized in your title. Do not italicize, underline or enclose your title in quotation marks.<br /> <br /> Title of the following should be either underlined or italicized:<br /> <br /> • books <br /> <br /> • magazines <br /> <br /> • newspapers<br /> <br /> • pamphlets <br /> <br /> • long poems <br /> <br /> • plays <br /> <br /> • films <br /> <br /> • television programs <br /> <br /> • radio programs <br /> <br /> • musical compositions <br /> <br /> • choreographic works <br /> <br /> • works of visual arts <br /> <br /> • comic strips<br /> <br /> • software <br /> <br /> • web Sites (Hacker 323)<br /> <br /> <br /> Quotation marks are used around the following titles of short works: <br /> <br /> • newspaper and magazine articles<br /> <br /> • short poems <br /> <br /> • short stories<br /> <br /> • songs <br /> <br /> • episodes of television and radio programs <br /> <br /> • subdivisions of books and web sites (Hacker 302)<br /> <br /> <br /> A strong titles should also be used to grab the reader's attention as well as asserting the author's opinion. As a person is looking over a blog or article, the title is what will draw the reader to the article otherwise the reader will simple skip to the next passage if the reader is not entice by the title. Descriptive word that give clear, crisp images will make a strong title and also help lure readers.<br /> <br /> <br /> =='''Work Cited'''==<br /> <br /> Hacker, Diana .
