Weak Writing Class

Show More
I am definitely one of those people who don’t care when they write. When I text I hope for the best with spell check. However, since taking this class I have been truly working on taking a little more time on writing in all forms, whether its text, email, or daily notes that I jot down at work. I believe there is a lot of people out in the world that slack due to technology and I have fallen into this pit. Hopefully I can dig myself out this semester and become one who can start passing judgement on weak writing abilities.

    John Adams Writing Style Analysis

    Writing Etiquette While reading the letters written by Abigail and John Adams, I noticed that they were written differently than if someone from today’s society had written them. They were written well, clearly thought out and pleasantly worded. There may have been an occasional misspelled word; however, despite that, it is obvious that both Adams were highly intelligent. It is a shame that people today do not give the same careful attention to their written communications. Writing properly has become a lost art.…

    Does Texting Affect Writing? By Michaela Cullington

    Likewise, when an individual is dependent on a spell checker, it will weaken their ability to spell. Many, even after graduating from high school or college, do not practice writing formally, or sometimes the job that they take up does not require them to write formally. Texting, on the other hand, is widely practiced among graduates and others. As time passes, the lack of practice in formal writing among graduates weakens their ability to write and take up texting skills instead. Thus, companies complain that texting and social media terms have eroded many graduates’ writing skills.…

    Does Texting Affect Writing

    As technology advances, the preference for what is quicker and easier grows. People are so busy, and caught up in life that sitting down, and writing a long, formal document is not as simple as it should be. In today’s time, we use text messaging to get quick messages to the people they need to be. Due to the excessive use of this technology and the textspeak dialect that we create with it, researchers say our writing skills are weakening. Marywood University student Michaela Cullington, shared her view on how texting affects writing in her essay “Does Texting Affect Writing?”…

    Personal Narrative: My First College Writing Class

    There are good writers and there are good writers who work hard to become better. Mrs. Fiske, my English teacher junior and senior year of high school always told me that I was one of the best writers in my class but I could always be better. Spelling has always been one of my strong suits and I always get bothered when people can’t spell simple words. I’m pretty good at writing essays but I do not enjoy writing them at all.…

    Going into this college writing class, I did not know what to expect. All I anticipated about this class was that it is a general education class, that was required to graduate.

    My experiences with writing have been somewhat limited until I signed up for English 101. I have to admit that English was not my favorite subject in school.

    Reflection Essay: My First College Writing Class

    After my completion of AP English junior year, I felt better than ever about my writing. Although it is okay to be confident in your skills, I entered this year with a sense of satisfaction and no desire to take my writing abilities to the next level. Due to this lack of ambition, I haphazardly threw my first week essay together and genuinely thought my teacher would be in awe over my skills- as I was only a senior entering a college course. When I received my grade, I was shocked to see that I had been placed into the scoring category of “weak”, and my teacher ultimately wasn’t so pleased after all. After some reflection, I reached the conclusion that my teacher was right- I deserved that five out of twenty.…

    Does Texting Affect Writing By Michaela Cullington Summary

    “In response to these complaints that texting is having a negative impact on students writing, others insist that texting should be viewed as beneficial because it provides students with motivation to write, practice in specific writing skills, and an opportunity to gain confidence in their writing” (Cullington, 2010, p. 4). This statement shows that although many people agree that texting has a negative impact, many others believe the other side of the…

    Personal Narrative: My Struggle With Writing

    Who doesn’t struggle with writing? I know I always have struggled with writing, for the longest time I didn’t even really understand the differences in sentences, and it is something that’s still confuses me a little bit. To be completely honest I sometimes procrastinate longer than I should when it comes to writing, so I don’t always review the finished product the way I should. Life gets in the way occasionally, and I attempt to convince myself that I have plenty of time to finish they assignment. This particularly gave me problems in high school.…

    Will Spelling Count Jack Connor Analysis

    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.…

    Why All The Fuss David Crystal Analysis

    Parents and teachers have speculated since the emergence of texting if this “new age” communication technology hinders formality and accuracy of academic writing. David Crystal in “Why All the Fuss?” presents a compelling and persuasive argument emphasizing that texting has not negatively influenced academic writing, and that it may also have some benefits to students’ ability to write formally. I agree with Crystal’s emphasis that text language is not used in formal writing and that texting does not interfere with academic writing, but can contribute to writing fluency and skills. In “Why All the Fuss?”, Crystal contends that texting does not encourage the usage of text language in formal writing.…

    My Relationship With Writing Essay

    I have always considered my relationship with writing to be very insignificant. Although I enjoy spending time verbally expressing my thoughts and feelings to others, it becomes difficult when these thoughts and feelings are expressed through writing. Throughout my adolescent years, I would often receive feedback for my writing given by the teacher in the form of a grade. Being unable to effectively organize my thoughts and ideas into words and sentences, I would feel reluctant to continue writing confidently whenever I received an undesirable grade.…
