This activity was assigned to assist in planing the body paragraphs which will help towards writing a well-structured, cohesive and coherent ethics essay. The purpose of spending a lot of time on the planning part of the essay is that it allows the student to categorise ideas, shift around information and supporting points, and to delete and add points with ease. It is much more difficult to make these structural changes to an essay that has already been written. Spending time on planning allows students to process the information, decide on main and supporting points, gather evidence, and build the structure or the skeleton of their essay. With proper and detailed planning, writing a structured piece is so much easier.
I had not done this activity before my Term Paper 3, the ethics essay mentioned above, i had poor time management skills during this block. I did this activity after my term paper. I did find this activity useful in noticing flaws in my writing and I do wish that I completed the activity before I did my term paper 3. I've included this activity because it helped me to be able to write a better term paper in block four by completing it.
