Today in class we discussed our upcoming essay assignment. The essay assignment is a comparison or contrast essay. It is about MySpace and Facebook. We printed out our essay assignment itinerary and the teacher discussed specifically what she wanted. The essay is supposed to have very specific examples, five through six paragraphs, and specifically stated that this is a comparison or contrast. She then made us create a webbing to see with what we could come up with. Then as a class we all brought our ideas together and came up with plenty of ideas so that we can have ideas to what we want to write in our essay. This was a great experience for me because I have never had a MySpace or Facebook so really do not know everything about the programs although I have explored them. This helped me to get some great ideas for what I want to write. They both have a lot of similarities ,but at the same time are both very different. These are two great programs which have tremendous impact on people. I do not know why, but anyways today really helped me to see things which I did not realize MySpace and Facebook could do. I still need to explore both sites a little more and I am anxious to see if I will be using these programs in the future.
