Tips on Writing an Essay
Mr. BallyYou may want to take a look at this short video. It gives some quick and simple pieces of advice for writing an essay. This is extremely relevant since we will be preparing and writing an essay on Archaeology this coming week. Be sure to let me know if this video was helpful or not.

This was okay. It was helpfull. But she didn't really explain the concepts well. However, I think that overall it was a good thing to watch.
WOW! She sure helped me!! Now I know how to change my essay for the better. Hopefully, Mr. Bally has the same opinions about writing as she does!
I listened to this video and learned that I make a lot of the mistakes that she explained. I write in too much of a personal voice, and I am too general. I also think that an outline could help me write my essays better. This video was very helpful.
This video was very helpful to me. I never knew that using your personal voice in your essay can hurt your grade. I also agree that making a rough draft can help you a lot by correcting it and getting an idea of what will help you.
That video had some really good ideas. When I'm writing about something that I've been studying for a while, I often forget that the reader knows nothing about the subject. I'm going to try to be more specific and explain what I'm talking about better.
I think this was really helpful.There were some things that she said, like not being general. And there were also things that I followed on what she said. [Like what?] This was helpful and sort of prepared me for the essay coming up on Monday.
These essay tips were very helpful to me. I didn't even know that some of those things could affect your score on an essay.
It was helpful to watch because it talked about all of the key points of writing a essay. It was helpful to watch before an in class essay.
