Chapter 9

This Chapter taught us to prepare to write an essay and how to be successful in writing an essay for a class. The chapter taught us how to prepare an outline and first drafts, revise, and edit your work to make it look neat and professional. It even taught us how to learn from feed back from other people. It also taught us about plagiarism. It is not good to copy other peoples work. Even taught us how to make a good speech and learn how to give a good speech. A time where I witnessed a bad speech was when i was in High school. I realized it was bad speech when the person put the paper in front of his face so we could not hear the person presenting. He also did not have eye contact. The speaker didn't try to correct it because i think he was nervous when he was presenting. If i could give advice to someone that is presenting is to practice the speech someone else first. A reason why you would want to plagiarize is because someone forgot to do a paper and he would fail the class if he didn't get it so he would just find someones paper and copy it to get it. Someone wasn't thinking about the consequences when he copied the paper. You can get to jail, fail a class, pay a fine, or get kicked out of college or school.
