Personal Narrative: My Writing Style

When you first start a college class as a junior in high school it can be intimidating but in the end it turns out to be a great learning opportunity. The first and a major skill that is required for taking a college reading and writing class is how to write

As I advanced to high school, my teachers took reading and writing to the next level. I was very nervous at first but thanks to the Jane Schaffer format, my written work and comprehension of specific books progressed. The Jane Schaffer format is based on a standard five paragraph essay but each paragraph is based on the form of ‘chunking’. Each paragraph consists of a topic sentence, concrete detail, and two commentaries for a total of around eight sentences. Our teacher provided us with a shaping sheet to outline our paragraphs and combined it to make one solid paragraph.

Also, papers I have read through for errors have very well imaginative details. The author for the paper gives enough detail that readers follow everything that is happening and can picture

My writing habits and practices have improved tremendously. When I was in high school and during my early college days, I wrote papers and turned them in without giving them so much as a second glance, no revisions or rewriting and no proofreading and editing. My papers often came back marked up, and the markings almost always pointed out grammar, spelling, and punctuation rules that I already knew. Now I find myself proofreading, editing and grammar checking which help me in my pursuit going

Before attending university, I made a commitment to engage in English classes and join writing workshops, so I could refine my writing. I wanted to learn how to write better essays with a wider range of vocabulary and less grammatical errors. I knew this course would help me improve my writing, though I didn 't know much about the learning process and goals. Through this course, I have realized my weaknesses and strength as a writer and learned how to structure and write an academic essay.

By the time I graduate high school, I will already have my college associate degree that I will have earned through my hard work and dedication. Even though I went through a lot at such a young age, it has shaped me in every possible way. I was exposed to a whole different language and culture, but I was able to succeed through my strong desire of success and dedication. I am thankful for every challenge that I had to go through because if it was not for them, I would not be the person I am

Then, when I get home, those thoughts transform into words. My writing doesn 't pry on my own intimate feelings, but rather on fictional adventures. I love writing stories, wild, crazy stories that I dream to be formed into a physical book and sold on shelves. There is not one subject matter that I focus on, but rather, I write about whatever calls to me.

Most students in college will have had some kind of writing experiences in their life, most students will list high school is where they had most of their writing experiences and a bit from prev college classes, find out what their strengths are and what their weak areas are, most students will also learn to develop a pattern for how they will find their process of writing an essays, they will also learn what kinds of writing they do and do not like. I have had a few writing experiences the past few years leading up to now. My past writing experiences have all been in college I learned how to write an essay in my English 252 and 262 classes. I learned the part of an essay what needs to be included I an introduction and what should never be

Throughout my years of writing in high school, I was focusing only on writing to fill the basic requirements to pass English. Over the time interval of the course WRI101, my writing completely transformed. Analytical thinking, balance, and flow were the focal skills taught in WRI101 by Dr. Daniel Fredrick. Through learning about what are considered to be the two most important skills in writing, content and style, I was capable of elevating my writing in a manner that distinguishes it from the typical college paper.

I would often read books that included characters that I could relate to and connect with. Writers and their creations aren’t something that come naturally. It requires a lot of training, time, and qualities in order to succeed and really understand what it is to be a writer. When considering a career in writing, one must determine if the job is fitting for them by examining the working conditions, their personality

Hello, I am Connor Love. I am writing this letter as a soon to be former student of Katy Leuschen 's "Waves of Change" writing 111 class. The first semester of my collegiate career has taught me many valuable lessons, from learning how to better succeed academically to how to deal with the flu without my mother. The lessons I have learned in writing class have not only helped my writing abilities grow, but also have helped me improve in other aspects of my life. During "Waves of Change" I learned how to revise my work, more importantly, that uncertainty during the writing process is normal, and revise my thinking.

My teacher really has my fellow classmates and myself ready for reality. She taught us everything we needed to know from the simplest to the most difficult techniques and has us prepared us for college. From the way she would teach us and also the way she treated us was an excellent way to show how the real life of a college student really does face on a daily bases. I’ll leave the class by having the prior knowledge of knowing what and how to write an argumentative essay and know how to simply justify the reading side and confront my face my fierce. This year taught me so much that I use certain techniques to help me in other subjects.

This documentary was about first-generation college students at K-State University and basically how they were able to adjust to college and discover what they wanted to do which for all of them was become a teacher. There are nine different stories on nine different people listing the obstacles they had to go through and basically what lead them to discovering themselves and becoming the person that they are today. This documentary to me was very helpful to see that there are many other kids like me who are doing this for a first time and that everyone faces challenges but we have to overcome them by finding what makes them happy to keep them focused. I realized that I identified with each and every one of them in different ways and they all

As I read down the lines of the assignment sheet my heart began to speed up when I see that it is worth 100 points and it must be approximately four pages-that is the most I have ever had to write! I was mostly concerned about this first paper because in previous high school English classes the highest grade I had ever gotten on a paper was a B+. Dual credit composition has taught me many writing skills that I will continue to use once I get to Westminster. This course has taught me that in order to be an effective writer I must convey information in a manner which keeps the reader engaged.

Teen Read Week is an initiative of the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA). Teen Read Week started in 1998. In an effort to involve my students and inspire elementary students to read, my Honors English class, in cooperation with seven Lenape Elementary teachers and the building principal, we arranged a schedule,
