Throughout my journey of English 111 and English 112, I have learned so much and mastered several concepts. Throughout this course, I have definitely grown as a writer. In English 111 we worked on the following essays: Narrative, Expository, and Persuasive. In English 112 we worked on the following papers: Summary and Response, Argumentative, Literary Analysis, and the Multigenre paper. In English 112 we also received a book called They Say, I Say, in which there were several passages using templates to help with our Argumentative Paper. I must say, I really enjoyed this book and it really did help to form the basis of my Argumentative Paper. We also read the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare for which we wrote a Literary Analysis Paper. Reading the play in class was fun and helped me understand Shakespeare’s words as we did a seminar and paper.
Looking back at all my work that I have done for DE English, I must say that I am pretty satisfied. My intention of writing my essays was to effectively learn writing skills and excel in my …show more content…
In that essay, I think I did an overall good job. I followed my writing process and I believe I had good punctuation, grammar, and clarity throughout my writing. I believe that this essay in particular was well-written and is also one of the best essays I have written. In my expository essay, I noticed that I had some difficulty in the following: “clarifying a main idea that satisfies the assignment, developing discussion points that support the clarified main idea, and using supporting details that align with the focus.” Overall, I still did great and explained the way Jane Austin writes. Writing the expository essay wasn’t easy, but I still do think I did a good job on this one, as I also got the best grade on this one. This was still by far the best essay I have done. Writing this essay was fun because the book was an entertaining

    English 1021 Reflection

    My revision of “Face it, America!” that follows this cover letter reflects what I have learned in English 1021 so far. While revising this essay, I learned when to use present tense in my writing and past tense in my writing when appropriate. In this class, I have learned to use more transitions and appropriate transitions in my writing. My revision reflects this because in my second paragraph where I mention the significance of police officers, I use transition words for every new sentence that needs it.…

    'Learning To Read' By Malcolm X

    Since the beginning of my first year at school I have been learning to read and write. Throughout these years I have had a lot of experiences with reading and writing. All through high school we would write responses and essays over books we read. Once I entered college everything changed; I began to learn about writers and people who were known because of their great works of literature. In college, you are held to a higher standard and responsibility than you are in high school; this challenge has encouraged me to work hard and because of this I have become better at writing.…

    A Rhetorical Analysis Essay

    During ENG 1020, we completed many assignments focusing on the three main goals of this course, teach students about different styles of rhetorical situation, learn about the different genres of reading, research, and writing, and to teach students to develop analyses and arguments using research-based content, effective organizations, and appropriate expression and mechanics. Throughout this course, I have learned how to search and specifically find appropriate sources using the CRAAP test, identify proper characteristics of a rhetorical piece, and be able to reflect on my own writing by completing multiple drafts. These experiences allowed me to improve my persuasion techniques, my ability to find reliable information, and editing skills.…

    English 111 Reflection

    What new ideas I have been learning in English 111 so far is how to the use rhetorical devices more in writing my papers, and notices them as well when reading. I always know what ethos, logos, and pathos were be I never try to identify them in my papers of in articles, textual artifacts or in media. So I enjoy learning about that so far. I think the challenges I am facing in this class is how to more into depth when explaining a quote, passage, and paragraph when I find the rhetorical devices in this in why the author say what they use and use certain words as they do, I think that can help is to may identify what kind of questions I should ask myself more when I’m trying to analysis my paragraphs. I think that would help me out tremendously,…

    The Reflection Of Writing In This Year, And Writing

    First, the best essay I wrote throughout the entire year would be the “American Dream” essay. The two main reasons I chose this is that it showed that I can work with a group to create a comprehensive essay, and it presented an idea to which I could base an opinion around. This paper was the first to show that I was able to work together with other people in creating the whole paper, and made it possible for me to understand how to work quickly and efficiently with a group dynamic. The main difference in this paper from any other was that I had some ideas to share about the theme, and had an opinion to base the pathos of my argument. Next, the grade I would give myself for my overall writing is a C+/B-.…

    English 102 Reflection

    Over the course of English 102, I have developed a new set of skills and learned to become a better writer. When I first came into English 102 I struggled with many different concepts of writing. During the semester in English 102, my writing became stronger because I learned how to incorporate evidence into my argument, do more thorough research, have smoother transitions, and have more organization throughout my essay. I learned how to peer review better and to take what others say and incorporate it into my essay. In the beginning, before English 102, I struggled with good organization and flow to an essay, sandwich evidence into paragraphs, and having strong arguments in persuasive essays.…

Along the path was my introduction to college writing, a class that has improved my writing skills profoundly. At first the tasks given to us on the syllabus seemed daunting, almost insurmountable within the five-week period of the program; it seemed even more inconceivable with the class being only twice a week. However, with the guidance and instruction given to me by the professor and peers I was able to strengthen my work as a student.…

    English 1101 Reflection

    English 1101 is a course aimed to prepare students for their future writing courses and have the necessary skills for writing college level work. Coming into this course I was hopeful that it would improve my general writing skills since throughout my secondary schooling it was acceptable but not exceptional. My current faults are hindering the comprehensiveness of my writings because readers have to sift through the damage to understand the argument and focus of the topic. While I am able to come up with content my inability to logically put it into a written form is something I intended to improve. After this course I hope to have revamped my former weaknesses so I can be a more clear and cohesive writer for the future…

    English 101 Final Reflection

    Throughout the entirety of this English 101 course, I have seen my skills as a writer grow. In the beginning of the school year, my writing fell short of my expectations, but as I continued to work and learn the principles of writing, I have written papers that I am proud to say are mine. Among the aspects of my writing I have improved, the best strives are seen within my my counter arguments and overall strength and coherency of my papers. To begin, when looking at a paper I wrote in August on necessity of first drafts, there were large gaps in my elaboration, bringing concerns as to whether I was arguing and proving a point or merely summarizing what Lamott, the author of the article, originally said. When attempting to argue my evidence, I stated,…

    The Importance Of English Composition

    English Composition I taught me a lot about myself, including how to be a better college student, through the process of writing. At the beginning of the year, I was not very excited about having to write argumentative papers. This is because I did not care enough about the assigned topics to have an opinion. But, I did learn a lot that I would not have known otherwise from having to research information about the topics I chose to write about. For example, in paper #2, I wrote about the niqab and how I believe that it is oppressive to women.…
