Writing about Your Positive and Negative Qualities

Writing about Your Positive and Negative Qualities:

For homework this week you have to write three paragraphs and POST them on the web. You must write your paragraphs in the ‘linear argumentative’ style.

Example of supporting point #2.

Supporting point #3

Example of supporting point #3

Topic sentence: My most negative quality is that I’m very disorganized.

Supporting points Examples

(1) My room is a mess. Books all over the table.

Clothes on the floor.

(2) Can’t keep track of important information. I lose important phone numbers.

I forget when I have appointments.

(3) I never plan what I have to do. I forget to make reservations.

Don’t plan classes in advance.

My most negative quality is that I am very disorganized. If you see my room, the first thing you will notice is that it is a mess. There are books all over the table and clothes all over the floor. But that’s not all. I also don’t keep track of important information, which causes me a lot of problems. I often lose important phone numbers or email addresses. And I forget when I have to meet somebody or where I have to meet somebody. And on top of that, I never plan anything. When I take vacations, I forget to reserve hotels. Or when I teach often don’t have a lesson planned until the day that I have to teach. In short, I have problems keeping my life in order and that give me a lot of trouble.

Now use this format to write a paragraph about your most positive quality, your most negative quality, and how you have changed since high school.
