As you can imagine, this unit was about pointing the pros and cons on a certain subject, in order to do so, we had to make a paragraph and a tree-graph with the advantages and disadvantages of something we choose. This unit taught us to analyze and write in a coherent and unbiased way. I chose the Internet as the subject of my analysis, here's the paragraph:
The Internet is the invention that caused the greatest revolution in the 90's and got humanity not just one step, but a huge leap closer to the ideal of turning our world into a global village. Due to its communicative nature, it allows people to keep in touch with distant friends or make friends from far away, of course, at the cost of not knowing for sure if the people you meet up with are saying the truth about who they are; due to its worldwide expansion it is possible to access information on a desired subject quickly and can be accessed to from nearly every spot, as long as they got the proper equipment and pay the service in that place; lastly, the diversity of sites that can be accessed through it can be helpful for works and also a source of entertainment for people of all ages. The only great risk in the Internet consists on people and companies who use it to cause harm and/or steal information from you.
Lastly, here's my graph:
Hope you guys liked my opinion on this great place called the Internet.

Hi Christian,
I love your blog :-)
I think it is a great idea to create a graphic organizer or a mind map before writing a paragraph or any piece of writing. It helps you organize your idea, and write a more cohesive and coherente text. There is a very good application (free) called Gliffy that will help you create your graphics online, and then it gives you a link to the image. You can also work with your classmates on the same graphic (collaborative work). The URL of the site is:
