Expository  Text

Today was the last day that I studied A Discourse Approach in Reading subject. It looked frightened. Today  I learned Expository text which was a form of writing that was use to give information, explain, and describe. Expository writing is clear, concise, and to the point.For example, a paragraph organized into a sequence states its main idea in the topic sentense,and to support the main idea the author sets out details in a specific order that carries the correct meaning of the text. Key or cue words include first,second,third, etc.,plus next,then,finally,last,after that, etc. After that, I did exercise with my friends between waiting for teacher come to teacher. It was really difficult about exercise text. Then, teacher came to classroom. A Teacher ,friends,and me did exercise together. It was really fun because Teacher would love to tell the answer before the students. She often asked students what was she answer or students answers. It was so joked. Finally, a teacher gave me to do blogger website and read a textbook for final exams in the near future. It was a nice day for me.

Problem and Solution

Today I went to university early in the morning. Today I studied about Problem and Solution text. It made me know about Problem and Solution that is a pattern of organization where information in a passage is expressed as a problem and something that was,can be, or should be done to remedy this issue (solution)

In my views, I think It means that there is a complication which is the problem and the you resolve or solve it which is the solution. Then, my friends were presenting about procedure next to the last week ago.and finally my teacher assigned homework to me and my friends so I enjoyed very much for learning today.

This is bit of knowledge about Problem and solution.

Exempification

     

Today I went to my university early in the morning. I learned Exemplification texts. It let me know adding more information to explain,persuade,define,or illustrate a general idea. Likewise, exemplification provided solid support and strong evidence to prove the writer's main statement. Appropriate examples also created interest in a writing assignment. and I knew about 5W 1H it was really important information to eleborate on the main idea of a paragraph or essay. Exempification texts could be organized chronologically, spatially, from the simple to complex, with the emphatic order which moved from the first example to the one that was most important. After that ,teacher assigned my friends and I to do homework about Examplification texts.And Finally,my friends were presenting about procedure next to the last week ago.So I enjoyed very much for learning today.

Teacher's day

 Cause and Effect

Today I went to my university in the early morning. So, today I learned about Cause and Effect text. lt let me know about many things in this text.The text told me about  Cause and Effect is used to show how the facts or concepts result due to facts, events or concept. I had the opportunity to comment about The Titanic which is a tragedy story. I knew about many factors that make the ship was sunken. And I did the exercises with teacher such as the skills practice and the Effects of Stress. Finally, teacher assigned homework to me to do about a spider map  of Effect and Cause. And then, my friends were presenting about procedure next to the last week ago. Finally, it was a nice day for me.

This is a bit of knowledge about Cause and effect.

Everything in life has a cause and an effect. You study for a test you get a good grade. You forget your umbrella when it rains, you get wet. You break a rule you have a consequence.

Kids cause, deal with, and are involved in cause and effect situations every day, all day long; however, they may not know that they are dealing with cause and effect.

It is important for students to know and understand what cause and effect situations are. They should be able to identify an event that is responsible for the cause that resulted in an effect. Identifying these three things can help create analytical thinkers and minds that can work through complex problems. It will also help students socially; they will understand and be more willing to accept the consequences for their actions –whether good or bad. 

Key words to help find cause and effect statements: so, because, therefore, since, if, then, so that, without, cause, effect, how, explain.

These words are key because they will help students to identify cause and effect questions and statements as well as be able to write sentences that show the cause and effect relationship.

There can be many causes and effects that are the result of one event, for example:

For example, take David Goes to School by David Shannon. Here are some example questions that use the question stems above.

Using a multi-flow map you can quickly and easily show the event, cause and effect connections. For this story, the event is that David goes to school; the events that connect to this are all the things that happen because David is at school.

So now that you are armed and ready, you and your students should have lots of fun finding those cause and effect connections. Don't forget to look at and recognize those connections...everywhere!
