On November 1, 2016, you were assigned a project to make minor revisions to Standard Procedure 001:48:1, Disposition of Authority Property. Following the assignment of the project, you were instructed by me to: • Correct language errors, if any, in the published document On November 18, 2016, you submitted a draft procedure to me with the language error corrections you were recommending. The approximately 15 one-word recommendations you made included the following errors: • “Maintains an inventory of stored furnitures for use in Central Office (CO) locations.” • Coordinates the transfer and disposal of office furnitures at CO locations only. (In both cases above, you added an “s” to furniture even though the word furniture is an uncountable noun.)…
In the 2007 Douglas Downs and Wardle article, "Teaching about Writing, Righting Misconceptions, the focus is on the topic of how to operate a successful first year college writing class. Douglas Downs and Wardle discuss a change to the way in with first-year writing instruction had been taught. The change purposed was based on the results of a test course they developed. The goal of the course was to encourage more realistic conceptions of writing. Douglas Downs and Wardle focus on the concept of Writing about Writing (WAW).…
Additionally, I definitely need to practice UW Outcome #4 more, especially proofreading for grammar errors and making my sentence structure easier to follow. Although my errors did not severely impact the understanding of my writing, having errors distracts from my main…
When asked to name someone who I think is an exemplary communicator, the person that comes to my mind is a role model of mine, Micaella. At the beginning of my junior year of high school I chose to take a class called Professional Career Internship, or Cadet Teaching. This class provided students with the opportunity to experience elementary school classrooms and the responsibilities involved in teaching by placing them in a classroom to act as an aide to their assigned supervising teacher. Micaella was my assigned supervising teacher and allowed me to take on a large role within her classroom and quickly became someone I looked up to…
The second speech I chose to critique was the male student’s speech on police brutality. This student’s main point in his speech was to argue enforcing regulations and training onto officers will and must stop police brutality. He was able to follow Monroe’s outline well while presenting his speech. In addition he used good examples of methods that can be used to prevent future police brutality. For example, he stated police officers should be forced to wear body cameras, and given proper training on a regular basis.…

I would Encourage Makayla to remember that confluence can help and for her not to waste her time on questions that she may not be sure of now. She should work on the ones she is confident on and come back to tackle the first set of questions. She should come back with a refreshed mind and she might have remembered what to do by then. Makayla need to come up with a strong plan. She could have seen the situation through her eyes.…
Those two guys made me read beyond the words and think about what they were attempting to say. However, keep the Blogs, voice threads, and discussions, keep those coming. I am pleased with the way the class is laid out. Also do you have the power points you use on voice thread, can they be made available? I like to refer back to them from time to time when writing, but I have to log into voice thread to view them.…

During this semester of English W131, I have experienced both accomplishments and setbacks while learning how to improve my writing skills. Throughout the course, I have learned that writing is not only about how much information is in the paper, but also about how well the writer’s thoughts are expressed throughout the text. Practicing many different styles of writing as I did in the class has helped me tremendously with my delivery in my writing. I believe that this course was one to prepare us for future writing courses with professors we will encounter who will give us feedback that may puzzle us because it will require more work and more thinking. Although I have had difficulty in the class, I do believe that I have learned from my mistakes and that I am finishing the course with stronger writing skills that will help me though the rest of my college career and life.…
The barrier language that I have between Hmong and English is what makes my writing difficult to understand from the start of the school year, not only that, but also just me trying to throughly write an explanation of what I have thought of in mind. Sometimes it doesn’t come out on the paper as I have, have in my thoughts. Which in return create flaws in my level one, two, or three writing paper that affect my writing skills. The flaws that I have slightly improve on my writing: create a clear and stronger thesis statement, subject- verb agreement, and transitioning. Constructing a firm claim and allowing the reader to be able to identify which position I’ve take through my writing by creating a rough draft of what I am going to say in…
Since the first day of third grade I've heard over 1,800 morning school bells, attended 45 different classes, and met 5 of my greatest friends. I am proud to say I have attended McKeel Academy for 10 years, and I'm even prouder to say I will be a graduate from McKeel. This school has shaped me in to the person I am today, a person I am truly proud of. First, the legacy I want to leave at McKeel is my sense of dedication and goal setting.…
I tried to do the best I can, but somehow I would also get a bad grade due to my poor grammer. I do not really have any problems with reading or writing of my own choice. I can still be a slow reader to this day, but not like I once was. I could write pages on pages of a topic I am drawn to. I could add more details as well.…
It is understandable that this piece might be seen as in need of the most improvement. While it is not the worst in a sense of technicality or grammar, I feel that it suffers from a lack of opinion. I think this piece is my worst because it has no strong message or new information. It may be correct academically, but it is almost a waste of a paper since it doesn’t add any substantial knowledge to myself as a student. This perspective might be a little harsh on myself, however I think it dramatically illustrates my later improvement when compared to my last few essays.…
In writing classes the most common first day question is whether or not spelling and grammar will count. Most commonly students focus more on how they are writing and if it is grammatically correct or not rather than writing their inner thoughts. Jack Connor in his essay, “Will Spelling Count?”, argues that writing requires meticulous efforts through his use of cause and effect, comparison and contrast, and division and classification. Connor displays cause and effect throughout his essay to show how different ways of teaching affect students performance and effort level. When Connor first began teaching he wanted to be a different type of teacher.…
