I rushed to finish typing my paper the night before it was due, barely comprehending the words I typed, hit the print button, and put the paper in my binder. Prior to enrolling in dual credit Composition, I had been just barely putting enough effort in to get A’s in my English courses and dual credit American History when it came to writing papers.

Deceleration involves deliberate slowing down of thought to take in information in a more conducive manner.

Now, I have realized the difference it can make to have a purposeful paragraph sequence, instead of leaving it up to chance. Planning paragraph sequence in the future will result in more convincing argumentative essays and easy-to-follow informative essays.
Learning to write a web conclusion elicited a deeper chain of thought in drawing connections for the reader than other types of conclusions I had used in the past. Web conclusions place the topic of the paper in a larger context for comparison or contrast. For example, an unfamiliar concept can be compared to an everyday idea to ensure the reader understands how it works and relates to other things.
