What I Want to Learn

This semester, in English 1302, I would like to learn two things. The first one is how to write a good persuasive/argumentative essay. Also I’d like to learn how to write in active voice and how to tell the difference between active and passive voice. I’ve never been able to spot the difference in the two types of writing and google certainly hasn’t helped.

I would love to be able to use rhetoric as it is a very helpful and useful skill. It is especially helpful when you can use rhetoric at any instant without having to think and plan out your argument. Like when you need to argue you stance on a specific topic, you can immediately start putting facts together and build your argument without hesitation.

I also need to learn how to spot active voice because it will help me moving along in college when i have to type long essays. Since most professors will want essays to be in active voice, learning how to write in active voice will tremendously improve my success in college.
