156 Words1 Page

Another bullet point that helped me out is to really know about my subject before I decide write a whole paper on it. Nobody can write a whole paper that makes sense on something they didn’t research or even put effort in trying to learn about it, and sometimes that's how I feel when I write papers for classes.

The Little Seagull Handbook has really helped me to be able to answer those questions confidently. It helped me to understand things on my topics for my papers a lot easier. It put everything in an organized bullet point format and subsections to

    In this category I chose two specific questions to address. The first is, what can we do as teachers to foster supportive/safe writing environments? This is a great question, and probably the most important aspect when it comes to a student’s success and confidence. As a teacher it’s very important to have a safe and inviting classroom atmosphere that allows them to feel comfortable, welcome and that fosters the student’s creativity. If a student does not feel comfortable with classroom, for whatever reason or if they feel intimidated or threatened by a peer or teacher in that environment, the environment is harmful to their success, learning and the student will likely close off and have anxiety.

    The first thing that came to mind was definitely you’re class, where I grew to be a confident writer. In my class we read about the importance of “shitty first drafts” which I think helped take the pressure off writing an amazing paper from the get go. I learned how to write for the genre and tried to hone in on my audience for the paper. Once I had my first draft finished there was a peer review in class, which is helpful because not only do you get feedback from them, but you also get to read their papers, which can give you ideas on what you could do better. After that, I took their feedback, revised, and then turned it into my professor to get more feedback.

I did find this assignment to be a little challenging because we had to write about each chapter, however, we had to write each chapter in our own words and explain what each chapter was about. That’s why I found it a little challenging because I didn’t get to finish reading some chapters.
