Writing project 3 has shown me the importance of writing something that is of interest for you, an issue that you are passionate about. I think that I have started to get somewhat better at the structuring of my writing and using outlines before I jump into a draft. I am no longer as scared and hesitant to write, as I was the first writing project. I think a good goal that I accomplished from this project was using diverse sources in my writing. I was able to utilize a magazine post, newspaper article and research journals to form my argument and provide support. I think I have also become better at revising my own work and reforming the structure of my paper to make it more clear than it was previously. I am particularly proud of my argument
Sequence: I use Sequence as needed. I struggle with organization and I like to do things on my own time. I’m a procrastinator so if I have a timeframe to get things done, I either get things done late or right on time. I’m able to meet deadlines as needed.
My Senior Spring Project (SSP) got off to a quick and exciting start. I have enjoyed my four mini-courses, my two independent studies, tennis, and the one-on-one weekly meetings I have with the various teachers who supervise these activities. Through SSP, I am slowly learning how to manage my activities outside of my regular school routine. In the first week, I had trouble managing my reading assignments from one mini-course (4 hours) along with the work from my two independent projects (total of 12 hours). I have never had so much independent work over a week that was not split into separate homework assignments.
Throughout the college writing course, there were four major projects to focus on. These include an annotated bibliography, research argument, collaborative letter and presentation, and reflective portfolio. My writing goals for the course consisted of starting early on assignments and using stronger word choices. These goals relate to being a business major because there will be projects and papers that I will need to spend a good chunk of time on. Starting early on these as well as using strong words will hopefully allow me to succeed.

As I go through this assessment, it has shown about two way friendship. I am friendly person so I can make friend easily. The other thing that I notice in this assessment is how better I become friends with most of the people. Friendships with people that I have known for a long time can have a big impact on my life. I always say sorry when I do something wrong
I am not sure what obligated me to choose the topic that I did, but I decided to write about Spongebob SquarePants. I wrote in “second grade” detail the plot for my favorite episode, which just so happens to be the Christmas episode. I can remember reading it in front of the class, I thought it was the greatest thing in the world. People were listening to me read my own writing, and what surprises me to this day is that I was proud of what I wrote! Looking back on it now as a high school senior, I'm almost embarrassed to say that was my first piece of writing, but everyone has to start somewhere.
I rearranged my essay and I also added more transition words and elaborating more on my
Maci Podbilski Reflection This Semester of English Comp was very helpful in learning how to use your writing to persuade audiences about social issues in the world. Not only from my own writing but from others as well I have learned new techniques and ways to make my writing more persuasive. I feel as though I know have a good handle on how to persuade readers that there is a probably, how to provide evidence that supports a solution for said problem, and how to make smart writing decisions. Each of the essays we wrote this semester and even the PSA dealt with trying to persuade people in some way.
In doing so my essay is more organized and expresses my views in a clearer manner. Another revision is I strengthened my transitions between paragraphs.
Writing a major essay is never an easy task. It takes a lot of hard work and input from other individuals in order to make the essay the best it can be. When it came to writing about the experience of my mother’s death I thought about excluding some of the details, but I thought my writing deserved to tell the whole truth not just part of it. I’ve talked about this experience before, but have never gone into complete detail. Consider yourself lucky because now is the time I have decided to really open up in my writing through this essay.
After writing all these paper with a great progression, I am convinced that I have become a good writer, thinker, and researcher.
In all, with the help of my peer reviewers, I feel like my paper improved from its original
Looking over my work, I can see the leap in articulation between the informative report and the argumentative essay, and I became much more confident for the final
My first day in this class I felt intimidating; not because of the students but because of my writing. I felt that my writing is never good. At first I thought that I wasn 't going to last the entire semester, but here I am at the end and I feel that I have improved on my writing. I feel that I can write more with more detail and have more enthusiasm. I really have enjoied this class, I learned a lot about sentence structure and brainstorming; gathering more information to better my writing.
In high school, I hated writing essays for my English classes. At first, I did not have a reliable writing process. I would free write a rough draft and turn it in as a final draft. I would also write last minute instead of using the time to create a well-thought essay. I focused more on passing a class rather than boosting my writing skills.
