ENGLCOM ENTRY 3

Oct 6 - 9 Journal 3

Monday:

Last Monday, we discussed about the graphs and tables we made from the previous meeting day. I've realized that in interpreting graphs, you just have to take note of the items in the graph or table. Determine the highest and lowest points, and from when those lowest and highest points occur.

We also made an activity paper regarding the paper plate assignment. What we usually do in a day was put into non-prose form and illustrated in the paper plate. A pie graph was used to illustrate our time management. We made an essay regarding the pie graph, showing how time really is gold. This activity made me realize that my time management is not that good. I should really add more sleeping time...

Tuesday:

No ENGLCOM. Tuesday is LASARE day.

Wednesday:

This day, we discussed about summarizing and paraphrasing. Paraphrasing is putting a selection into your own words. You usually do it per paragraph while summarizing is shorter than paraphrasing. You only take the important parts for summarizing.

Plagiarism was also discussed last Wednesday. It is the act of stealing one's intellectual property. Punishments are given to those who commit this act. Stealing is punishable by law, not just by the La Salle committee.

There are ways for properly citing references and selections taken from others when you put it into your own work. Mostly, the APA style is used for these. You must not forget to cite the surname and copyright year when you want to include others' work into your own.

Thursday:

We discussed outlining last Thursday. You brainstorm first before you can outline. You fix all the things relevant to the topic. Then, you outline the ideas. You put the most important things near the left margin and the sub topics indents as the importance lessen.

We made an outline on how high school students apply to colleges. Hopefully, what I did was correct. :D
