Hi Mrs.Brown, I hope all is well back at home and school. I wanted to go back and say thank you for everything that you have taught me in writing. Here in my English 101 class all we do is write essays. By the way, thank you for sacrificing your extra time after school hours to help me become a better writer. You and your class has really taught me how to write more proficiently. Writing in English 101 is very similar to writing in your class. In English 101 we have to come in ready to work because that class is nothing but hard work. Here we have to do rough drafts, peer reviews and homework that helps us out with our writing form and getting new ideas. It is just like your class back in senior year. The only thing we do different is that my teacher here does is she sets up individual meetings to go over rough drafts and how we can make our paper better and start writing authority and persuasiveness. I wrote this persuasive …show more content…
So I wrote an essay on how it is Samuel’s fault that he died because he had many opportunities to get off but he was too ignorant to do so. I didn't do so well because I made many tense agreement errors. When our teacher assigned our final exam essay, she let us deeply revise whichever essay because I know I could've so much better with the information you taught me. When I started typing my revised essay, I made sure to get rid of all or most past tense verbs I could find. I also had some awkward sentences or phrases, so I made sure I would fix those as well. I have seen improvement in my writing skills lately. My English 101 teacher challenges me, brings the best out of me and makes me work as hard as possible. I’ve gotten better at run-on sentences and subject-verb agreements. I have been working hard on cutting out the words and sentences that really don't matter and adding strong sentences that support my
My grammar has improved because in my first essay there are several verb tense errors, but in my third essay there are no errors. Another way my grammar has changed is that my vocabulary has improved. In my earlier essays, there would be simple words, but in my fourth essay there are more complex words like ‘deranged’ and other words. My punctuation has improved because in my first and second essay there are a lot of comma errors because I either put or forgot to put a comma in a sentence, but in my third essay there are fewer comma errors. Lastly, my words usage has changed because in my Frankenstein and first essay there are words like ‘society, things, they, and you’ that isn’t in my fourth
This semester I completed Composition 2. During the course I wrote three essays. Like Composition 1, I had the option to rewrite my papers after seeing the grade. Having the chance to rewrite my papers was very beneficial because I could improve my grade, and more importantly, learn what I was doing wrong. Amongst my writings, three major flaws stood out.
Dear, Mr. Ballenger I have read your essay, “The Importance of Writing Badly”, and there are many fascinating and captivating points you have made, which I would like to discuss with you. In your essay you have stated, “I find some people who reminisce fondly about their own Mrs. ONeill, usually an English teacher who terrorized them into worshiping the error-free sentence. In some cases the terror paid off when it was finally transformed into an appreciation for the music a well-made sentence can make.” In other words, you are saying we all have that one English teacher who will push us to our limits to help us become better writers and make us understand the reason why we should always proof read our writing and make sure we have no mistakes. And because of that push we become
and I did the same with the grammar. Even though I struggled with those couple things I would that my message was clear and kept the reader going. One thing I didn’t do so great with on that is providing enough information for the things I was trying to discuss. I learned that I can be a good writer if I actually take my time sit down and proofread
In this essay I will review how I have improved as a writer, my greatest challenges, and how has my writing changed from how it was at the start of class to now. Reflection is a powerful thing, I can still remember how it felt being asked to write an essay on my first day of class. I was so scared, would I be able to use correct punctuation and how bad will it affect my grade if I am not? I was so excited when the professor said it was just to see that we can write conformed sentences not to critique our grammar and punctuation.
I have taken some classes on writing and have improved my writing drastically over the years. As with everything, there is plenty to improve on. My high school was a college preparatory school, so we did countless papers. One of my strengths is to be able to come up with a paper fairly quickly, but I do need to improve in some areas. Things I should improve on are word choice and sentence fluency.
My writing has gotten a lot better and I know this because my grades on writing assignments have gotten better. I had a lot of trouble with grammar at the beginning of the year. I believe that my grammar has improved. It might not be the best but it 's getting better.
Often times, when in a class filled with many characters, teachers look for the students putting in the effort. The matter of trying goes a long way until you’re in a room with students that have been putting in the same amount of effort or even more. My freshman year, I was put in a regulars English class where the teacher had praised me for being analytical and just simply putting in more effort in the class than the other students. The teacher told me that I was AP English material. Little did I know that many like me were scattered in other English classes that year.
Writing in my high school English classes never really came to tough to me. There was always a ton of time to work on each essay or prompt. I also had some very good teachers, which I am sure helped out tremendously. As for what the writing was actually about, we had many different options. Sure they were had specific length and grammar requirements on each paper, but we always had many different routes to take when it came to how we wrote.
Skills such as proper grammar and MLA format still need some adjustment. Even though I have things to improve, I was still able to improve some areas of my writing skills regardless even if it was a small improvement. In the beginning, like
Throughout this ENG 101 class I believe I have consistently improved my writing by using a refined process of outlining what I want to write about, properly identifying my intended audience, and continually
There are other areas in my writing that I have improved on. I have improved on my grammar, verb constructions, use of verb tenses and organizational skills to make my writing flow better when reading. My overall progress in completing this ten weeks course was wonderful. Every steps and skills I learned in this English class will help me to improve on my writing skills in my other classes and will also help me in my future
My writing has a few areas of improvement but has improved a lot over the last eight weeks. There were a lot of verb tense errors in my writing but it has gotten better. There is always room for improvement and I often find myself having a few sentence fragments and using a "clutch" word. I have been making us of the thesaurus to help reduce the redundit use of a word.
I quickly learned that most occurred because of not taking the proper time needed to go back and carefully proofread. It was one of the easiest things to fix, but for some odd reason I never took the time to do it until I realized how important it was when the grading became harder. I also focus on avoiding the use of words such as very, you, would have, and could have. By finding or rephrasing a sentence to avoid these words, it makes my writing stronger when being delivered to the reader. The reason I wrote about this is because it makes me realize I no longer struggle nearly as much relaying information from my head to a piece of paper.
For as long as I remember I never was the best at trying out different techniques for writing. I have always stuck with the same format simply because even when I was in high school, my teachers didn’t implement any new forms of writing. I never heard of discourse until now, second semester of freshman year of college. After reading Keith Grant Dave’s piece of “ Rhetorical situations and their constituents”, I discovered many ways of writing techniques I should incorporate into my work to make it a more powerful piece. In the beginning of the text it said “Writers have a stronger basis for making composing decisions and are better able as readers to understand the decisions other writers have made,” this is something I’ve never heard before,
