235 Words1 Page

In the research part I looked for many websites that I thought had helpful information, then I made a selection of the most interesting and clear ones. In the step of the outline, I decided to order my facts in a way that would make the topic appealing to the reader. When I was writing the rough draft I took into account the comments Ms. Pritchard made on my outline. I took a substantial amount of time on the rough draft because I am a slow writer that likes to think through her ideas before writing them down. In the final draft stage, I mainly edited my essay based on Ms. Pritchard’s advice.

FINISH As the reader going through the essay each paragraph leads into the next creating a nice flow throughout the essay. I found that the organization of the essay was chronological and made sense as a whole. Each paragraph was evidence that supported the argument/conclusion.

  • English 1101: Improving My Writing

    562 Words  | 3 Pages

    I’ve only gotten three responses through the two papers that we have done, so I have been working mostly on my own to try and find ways that I can improve my essay. Nothing has really surprised me thus far in the class. I have enjoyed the prompts that we have done for our papers and I have enjoyed giving feedback and reading other papers from other students. As I said earlier, I think my best piece of writing was my Evaluation Essay. I was writing about something I enjoyed doing (watching movies) and I was excited to share my opinion with everyone, so I think those factors contributing to my Evaluation Essay being better than the Literacy Narrative.

    In the article “Shitty First Drafts” by Anne Lemott she discusses how every writer has difficulty putting their ideas on paper because writing should be seen as a process that even the best and famous writers follow. She also talks about how even the best writers don’t just come with ideas and just begin writing on paper and make it as their final draft. Lemott also points out the importance of being able to just write down every thought into the first draft regardless of the structure of the draft and how it makes it easier to start the second draft. After writing the second draft it makes the final draft a review of punctuation and grammar corrections. As a food reviewer she struggled putting her ideas together because she would start doubting

    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.

    The Process of Reflection The process of reflection is central to clinical supervision. Launer (2003) describes external and internal factors in supervision whereby clinical practice and sharing skills are external and reflection is an ‘internal conversation.’ Brunero & Stein-Parbury (2008) discussed the effects of clinical supervision in nursing staff and argued that self-reflection generates a sense of self-awareness and knowledge to the individual. Supervisees or students may be asked what happened during a clinical event, how they felt, the implications of their actions and what they would do differently if faced with the same situation.
