Relating To My Writing Process

Improved Essays
I would begin an essay by brainstorming like in project one the effective moments in my life, project two the obvious things I see in the photo, and project four the topic of my choice. I would write out everything I need for the certain essay and every idea that could be some way connected to my writing process. I would complete bullet points of my idea without putting them in complete sentences. In addition, while making bullets I think about whom am I delivering this paper to or how would my audience react to my writing and if they find it meaningful. After all ideas and details are put down onto paper; I will continue to form sentences making a response to my bullets, eventually typing my body paragraph out trying to solve that “so what …show more content…
I have all the ideas laid out for me, but my biggest problem are not the writing processes but turning my ideas into strong clear sentences. I will complete a clear thesis statement for my argument and help guide it. The evidence would not clearly tie back to my thesis statement and I begin to wonder causing my essay to be unclear. I need to probably writing down in my brainstorming to stay focus and be able to support my thesis statement. In project two out of the other four I felt was my best essay. I was able to dig deeper on the detail that I lacked from my first …show more content…
It gives you a chance for your peers to suggest ideas or structure to your paper. All parts of the paper are included in the peer reviews, so I can see how each part of my paper is good or bad. I am able to receive information about my thesis and how I could make that better and if the evidence supports the thesis in a manly manor. The professor paragraph about the thoughts of my writing is process that I like too. I do not just receive my grade and that’s it. I am able to get a detail paragraph of what things I did do good in and how some areas I could have improved. This method has made me realize what mistakes were made, so in the next essay the same mistakes were not made.
The decompressions we have after every final essay may not be effective to some, but I felt it was an additional help toward my writing. In the self-evaluation you actually think about how you did each essay from start to the final. It made you realized the good and the bad out of each essay and how you could improve in the next one. Also, the decompression was a thing I like because of the concern and comment area. When we get our grade back those concerns and comments are addressed by the professor and you are able to see where you went wrong in your

    The strengths and weaknesses in this paper are glaringly apparent to me now, but then I obviously missed them or had not taken the time to correct them. My biggest weakness with writing in general, and in relation to this American History essay, is forming a clear thesis. I know this for multiple reasons. One, it never feels very clear when I’m writing it, I feel like I try to stick in a bunch of information that doesn’t need to be there and do not develop the statement of the paper clearly enough.…

Today I learned about punctuation, pronouns, sentence errors and run-on sentences, Example: I love to write papers I would write one every day if I had the time.

    My writing experience: I didn’t start to read until I was in first grade. Every week we would go to library to check-out two books and take a test on the books we read on a computer. Every day in English we read a short story to ourselves then we would play games dealing with the story to make it fun. To be honest I never really did a lot of writing in Elementary , Middle, or High school so I can’t pinpoint when I started writing. In essay writing I learned its always good to express yourself with your own opinion.…

    My writing process is similar to the typical high schooler, except like the typical high schooler I have no idea what my process is. Having to slow down and think about your process before writing can be complicated due to the fact that I am thinking about what I doing naturally. Hopefully I will be able to fully break down my process and use what I learn from that to improve my writing. My process starts with me focusing on a prompt whether it’s given to me or I have to create one myself.…

    Even though there is more room for me to learn in future classes, this class has boosted my confidence a great deal. The area that I think that i have benefited from this class the most is in writing. I did take a little bit about of the reading, it thought me how to understand what point and author is trying to get across. When I am writing a paper now i know what person I should be in and how to draw in an audience. It is not like I am the greatest writer now,…

    Peer Response Reflection

    • 355 Words
    • 2 Pages

    My previous experiences with peer response have not been as beneficial to me as teachers and myself would hope. In my English 111 class, my professor required the class to do peer responses in class where we had to read your partners paper aloud to him or her and then discuss what you liked/did not like about their paper. This made me very uncomfortable and gave me very little time to give a justified response to someone else's paper, so most of the time I just told my partner that their paper was well written. For the peer responses we did last week in class I found them to be much more beneficial in the sense that we were able to read another students draft "alone" and actually form an opinion and then fill out the peer response form alone.…

    Self-Evaluation Essay Little did I know that I was going to learn a lot more than I thought throughout the semester in ENGL 1433. I began the course dreading reading and writing. I just wanted to be done with the class before the class began and go back to science classes.

Despite these initial thoughts and preconceived notions, I did, for the most part, enjoy the class.…

    The writers also may add points or remove points from their body paragraphs. When I revise, I take into consideration the constructive criticism given by my classmates. In my mind I believe that my essay does not need revising because I believe that my essay does not need revising; however, this is not true, my essays could be revised to be improved. I should consider revising my essays more because there is always room for improvement. I should ask my peers to review my essay and to give me commentary on what I could work on in my…
