Sherrie O. Vanderhorst Adult Studies Seminar 1-Block1 Session 1 Writing Assignment As I walk through the halls of the elementary school where I work I often walk past small kids as young as the age of three with such big attitudes as big as you and I.

Similar to Walter Isaacson's grade, I felt relieved to reveal that his writing level he used in his autobiography was equivalent to mine. Therefore, giving me a sense of pride, confidence, and boost of self-esteem in my writing capabilities. The 103 words I prefered to grade on Microsoft Word was extracted from my recent assignment in my English class. Which was about reading and types of readers. I titled this composition as "Lab 3: What Type Of Reader Am I." Beyond a shadow of a doubt, I felt compelled to elevate my writing grade level and plan on accomplishing this goal before the end of my fall semester in my English 595.…

Again I argue that reading is the back bone of writing. I was not a good reader so I was doing mistake that i did not read my writing assignment properly and at the end I failed and it irritates me because I worked hard…
Adequate writing was always a struggle for me because I struggled with coming up with topics to write about. Even when teachers gave us prompts to write about I struggled writing about them mostly because I thought writing was boring.

Being a civil engineering major I see why writing is so important in my career field. My experience with writing has had its good moments and its bad moments.…

However, judging by the comments on the post, many individuals assume the story is real, whilst others believe it is a hoax.…
It is through my personal education that I will receive the necessary tools to create a thriving classroom. I will accomplish this by studying and understanding good reading instruction, goals for student learning, teaching methods and assessment practice. First, I must define reading instruction for myself and my students. “There’s no one best way to teach reading and writing; instead, teachers create a balanced literary program using two or more approaches.” (Tompkins, 2014 p.327)…

Before I started this class I was terrible at writing persuasively, however, now that I have taken this class I have learned plenty of techniques that will help me with further argumentative pieces.…
