My strength in writing are all over the place, I feel like I am good at choosing the right words for what I’m writing, at least the words that are in my vocabulary. I hope that I can get better at writing essays and the more serious assignments, I also want to get better at writing book style writings, like having to write like an author of a book I’m reading to write a “chapter 0”. I think I haven’t really changed my thinking of my writing, I just write to do it, I don’t analyse my writing unless it’s something I’m really interested in. Organization helps me, or it hurts me, my disorganization that is, I’m very disorganised if you couldn’t tell by now, my brain is always everywhere, and so are my possessions, and my writing. My brain is all over the place just like my work, my PAW lessons are staggered between one attempt perfection, and ten attempts with …show more content…
It will be nice to only have to worry about one english class for a while though. I am however, nervous that I’m going to forget the stuff that I learned in this class over the summer. I wouldn’t know what I forgot because I forgot it, but I would notice a difference in my writing and my lifestyle. I will miss the fun that we had in this class though, I did have a lot of fun in this class when I was focused and wasn’t messing around, because when I got my work done, I was allowed to lay back and take a break. This class has changed how I write tremendously, with the six word memoirs I learned that word selection is key to good writing, through the soundtrack project I learned that words put together and read a certain way can have a really powerful effect on how you feel about the topic, and from the movie project I learned that the way you present your writing is extremely
Writing process People think the writing process is the hardest part of writing a paper. I would have to agree absolutely with them. There is so much to the writing process that it all get confusing. You have to make sure you have your commas and all your punctuations marks in the right spot.
My feelings toward writing aren 't good nor bad. Writing is something i have had difficulty with in my past. I have no problem brainstorming ideas on what topics to write my assignments on, even if i am given a prompt, but I do have difficulty with sitting down and planning my work. I always find myself getting stuck. So I almost never take the time out to plan out my ideas i come up with.
I came into my first college writing class feeling prepared thanks to you and your investment in me as a student in your AP Lang class. I developed as a writer more than I ever had in your class, and it definitely helped me in my college writing class this semester. I already knew how important it was to revise and continuously critically think about my writing, as well as the importance of multiple drafts and peer review. My English 110 class this semester was very similar to yours because we also did multiple drafts where I could revise my paper as many times as needed. The big difference was that the focus was on different genres and how to appeal to those, which was something new compared to my high school English courses.
Having my high school at the AP program established under SCNU was always one of my luckiest things happened to me. At here, I was trained to be priorly familiar with the U.S. education system and successful after coming to the U.S. where all the students were supposed to go. In order to be prepared, I was trained to write different kinds of essays, including laboratory report, social science research paper and literature expository writing. I have started to write all these kinds of essays since grade 10, and every writing assignment has gone through the process of outlining, drafting, peer proofreading and editing. At college, my writing style hasn’t really changed, yet, the way I write an essay has changed.
My history as a writer has been a bit of a struggle of slow development. From a young age I had a hard time with spelling and this is still a trouble area for me, even with the help of autocorrect. As I grew in age and as a writer my problematic area became not including enough nitty gritty details. My bad experiences that I recall would always involve the start of writing because I struggle with beginning paragraphs. Also, I tend to use the ending paragraph to just repeat myself, so overall my first and last paragraphs are usually shit.
I 've learned that reading and writing can take me any where I want it to go. I can explore my mind to go anywhere by imagination, by reading and writing. However,My reading and writing experience since I was a kid until now I still having a difficulty. When I was 3 years old my mom started me to learn how to read and write. At first, I 'm having a difficulty to read and write but my mom tried her best to taught me.
My five signature themes were: Achiever- As an Achiever, “No matter how much you may feel you deserve a day of rest, if the day passes without some form of achievement, no matter how small, you will feel dissatisfied.†Sometimes people call me an overachiever, but that is how I feel is my normal. Harmony- I do not like when people argue because I feel there is a better way for everyone to get along. Once everyone is in harmony, life is much smoother. Input-
English 102 Reflection During the course of English 102, I took this year of the spring semester. I have accomplished a variety of goals I once thought were impossible. I have not only grown as a writer and a student but as an individual as well. I feel that through my experience of this English course, I have achieved knowledge and self-confidence to step out into the real world.
I am doing well this week, I am getting better at setting and accomplishing my daily goals and my time management seems to be improving. With the help of some online tools and determination I have been able to focus and not put off my work. There is still a lot of room for improvement that I will continue to address. I think the StrengthsQuest was somewhat accurate; it helped me indentify what motivates me, the type of environment that I would most likely thrive in, and how my strengths can help me succeed academically, as an example: “competition”, which is one of my signature strengths implies that I am more likely to be fulfilled in an environment where performance is monitored and rewarded, such as a bell curved class. My strength in “command”
Although this Fall semester was really difficult I am glad that I was able to complete it and manged to pull through it with the help and the support of others. For future learning or situations I will look back on what I learned In English 110 because, it was not just a writing class but a class that has given many students the opportunity to learn themselves and provide for the community. I am also much more confident about the following semester and hope that things will work out well because, I was taught to manage my fall semester the hard way but now I will be better at
I t is just after 4:00 A.M. I was dreaming about Moab, Brooke and I walking around the block just before dawn. I threw a red silk scarf around my shoulders and then I began reciting in my sleep why I write: I write to make peace with the things I cannot control. I write to create fabric in a world that often appears black and white. I write to discover.
Throughout this last semester in English, was a great but tough semester for me. I learned a lot more on becoming a writer. I still struggled with getting off my thesis statement and adding to much of other off topic information. I can say I have truly found out how to revise my essay. I also learned how to go back and explain why I say what I say in my papers.
Writing literature for me has regularly been arduous. When I write a paper or a simple summary my mind usually goes blank and I have difficult expressing myself on paper. I usually avoid having to write essays until I can’t possibly ignore them any longer, because I have no confident in my writing skills. I can’t spontaneously write about anything or anyone compared to other individuals. For every page, I compose I possible stare at a computer screen blankly with no idea what to write for an hour
A sense of accomplishment is invaluable to a person. Not only does a sense of accomplishment build confidence and faith in oneself, but it also allows one to reflect on how wonderful the journey to the accomplishment was, and how every little struggle and triumph was worth it. In the middle of summer, where time seems endless and the stress of the previous school year has been shed by students, I never expected to find out that I scored a five on both of the advanced placement exams I took. Nor did I have one-hundred percent confidence the goals we set as section leaders of the marching band would actually be met. Yet to my surprise, I had the good fortune of accomplishing challenging things in both aspects of my life.
At the beginning of the semester, I was skeptical of 1) having a late class and 2) not really talking to anyone. I was afraid that my writing was not good enough or at least not college material. My thoughts were that I was going to proceed this class alone without the need to really communicating with anyone. My opinion was “this is an English class I get to focus on just my writing.” However, this class was nothing as I imaged in the first place.
