Pre-Writing Assignment (Lang. B)


Class,

How are you? Please respond to this blog post by Sunday, May 23, 8:00PM, where in 5 to 8 sentences you tell the class WHICH type of text (Monologue, Speech or Manifesto) you have chosen to answer the MYP Question: "Are you a puppet or a master?". You must also tell bloggers WHY you have chosen your respective type of text. Unsatisfactory responses will be revised and rewritten until they receive my approval. Please follow instructions. Be well. See you guys on Monday.

  1. I decided to do a speech, since it’s the one that I consider more appropriate (along with the manifesto) to express a certain idea or thought. Unlike the other two, the speech allows me to show, by means of language, certain characteristics of the self-recognition of the puppet and the master inside us. Also, the speech opens a space for the orator to communicate directly with the audience, unlike the manifesto (which obliges the reader to imagine the physical expression of the writer) and the monologue (which is mainly rhetoric introspection).

  5. I decided to do the monologue because I think it is better to give one's opinion about the speech of Martin Luther King discussed in class, in a form other than a debate, is why the monologue seemed appropriate to answer the research question.

  8. So...I decided to do a monologue. Why? Because it has a similar structure of a speech, but in this one, its a speech to ourselves, I can express feelings, thoughs, many factors that can get to make a perfect mind flow of ideas to then have specific characteristics to define if Im a puppet or a master, because if what I say it comes from my inside the references that I would take will more than viable to define my direct relation with a puppet or a master.

  9. luis, I decided to make the speech, because with it, I feel more comfortable and safe, because with speeches I have more experience, and I think it is better to represent the question about the master and the puppets, made through a speech, keeping in mind the examples seen in class of Mr.King.

  11. Ok Lucho, so I decided to make a Manifesto, always outside of the common thing. I think is a good way to answer the question. I want to use a very political language. A manifesto is a highly personal thing, and I want that. I hope you help me. Thank you.

  12. sergio please edit your post, example: 'I choose the speech because its concise, short but also go to the point I want.' I chose the speech because it's concise, short but also goes to the point...

    carlos...why is your post one, long sentence?..please look for subjects and predicates, then place a period...try to also have a short dialogue before your monologue to put the reader in context...or you can use stage directions

    duque, you should also look to include a short dialogue to contextualize readers.

    melissa...'Besides the speeches' to Besides, the speech can...please make the adjustment and revise your writing...i agree, confidence is important

  13. dairo...you're going to do a fine job...please revise your post so that's it's not a run-on sentence

    sebastian...'the more essay way'? what does that mean? please revise your post and inform your classmates properly

    berni...i will definitely help you...why is being political and highly personal important for a manifesto?

  14. I decided to do a speech because it's the most organized way to express my ideas. Also because it's easy to do, there's the page Lui gave, to have it as a guide and for it to be better made. It's the easier to read also and to make, also very useful to express. I think it's just the best way of doing it in all the possible ways.

    Thanks for reading ;), 5 total sentences.. Lui don't kill me (Oh! 6 jaja)

  15. I decided to do a monologue, cause its a way to express what you feel and understand about the question, and to answer it, you can do it as i said before, and its a useful way so that a question like that is answered in a right way...With feelings and examples.

  16. I will make a manifesto since I believe that certain thoughts that I have regarding life can be expressed correctly in a manifesto. Since it's a text with the intention of expressing to a massive audience, a certain ideal or thought, perhaps, I consider it the more appropiate way to show a determined point. The communist manifesto, allows the author (and editor) to spread their communist ideas. Then so, I strongly believe that it will allow me to express correctly an answer to the question "Are you a puppet or a master?"
    In my manifesto, my idea will be that every person is a puppet and a master at the same time....

  17. I want to do a manifesto becaise its a good way to show a point of view. My idea will be that every human being is a puppet. I decided to do this because the communist manifesto was very concise and it was very convincing. Also, I find it a good tool to show to the audience my respective ideas regarding the MYP questio "Are you a puppet or a master?"

  20. I will like to write a monologue, because i believe that its a deepest reflection involving the stream consciousness, analyzing the behavior of the human being and how emotions affects our decisions deciding whether or not we are the puppet or a master, since the human being is the mix of both of them. the speech makes the speaker in some ways superior to the audience, so the monologue is a better way because put the speaker and the audience in the same level.

  21. I decided to do a manifesto because it allows the author to communicate to audiences that exceed a limited population, which is the main issue in a speech. The second reason why I decided to do a manifesto is the fact that this tool is very effective when sharing information that reflects my own thoughts and ideas. The answer that I'd give to the MYP question "Are you a puppet or a master?" can be correctly exposed with a manifesto.

  22. I will write a manifesto as a speech to convince people how being your own master leads you not to be anyones puppet. This will be directly related with cotidianity and daily experiences.

    I will write a speech because I want to do something diferent, and besides I think is the best way to get information to the audience because a speech gives a bigger impact and you can transmit it exactly as you want to.
    I'm going to talk about how you are the master of your life responding the question of are you a puppet or a master.

  24. I decide to do a monologue because is an important kind of writing that let the writer express the internal feelings realted to the topic "Are you a puppet or a master". It is written specially for some kind of intervention into a text for the people to reflect about the topic.

  25. I woukd like to do a monologue because it's a specific way to express the feelings and ideas of a certain person. In this way the author can use a character as the connecting device between the author and the audience.
    making this monologue can help me to respond to the question "are you a puppet or a master?" beacuse a monologue can express true subjective ideas instead of an unvariable idea.

  26. I decided to do a speech because the format and the way it is done is for a bigger audience than the monologue and it can be more flexible than the manifesto because it can be more poetic and by that way i can touch more the audience. i will discuss the way the human being has acted, impulsed by the feelings, that could be fear or courage, based on the phrase "only those who has achieved great things has been great dreamers" (whose author will be mentioned in the speech) now that the roll of being the puppet or the master is essential for the determination and definition of a person, making us human.

  31. I decide to make a manifesto,because is the more easy way to argue and answer the MYP question: "Are we a masters or a puppet". This kind of text help us to express feelings, also is very useful to justify the historical events as arguments.

  32. I'll write a manifesto so the thoughts I have in mind can be expressed in a way I can explain how being your own master is important, taking into account an article read in class and a song written by metalica. This way appropiating of the audience giving them a clear message in a formal language everybody can understand.

  33. I had planned on writing a speech, for the reason that my objective is not only to express my opinions but to convince the audience of my prospective, and I find the speech to be the best form of argument in a topic. Another reason is that connecting with the audience is important and being able to use tone and mood as I speak is essential to improve the efficiency of my paper. Yet I will write a monologue consisting on the Exodos of Oedipus so that I can connect the positive aspects of a speech to a literal historic example and a source to justify my prospective on the topic.
