Paper Rater also checks for spelling, grammar use, word choice, style, vocabulary usage, and “grades” the overall paper (this is not necessarily the grade that the writer would obtain by submitting his or her paper). Paper Rater is available at the following web address: http://www.paperrater.com/. These are the two websites I try to remember to run my assignments through for help with revision before I submit them. I am sure there are other sites available as well. I noticed a couple of other formatting errors that could be easily corrected. In addition, the example Mason offered to emphasize what I imagine was her point of the essay was superb.…
Recently the school got the state writing scores back and the school scored very low, so low that the school has to make some changes to to improve the scores. The program is called Write-way, it requires the students to write 30 minutes out of class, and they have to complete the paper over the weekend then hand it in Monday. The students will get their papers back before the Friday of that week. Write-way is a waste of time, both the teachers time and students.…

Never thought my development of writing would improve throughout those years. Until my 5th grade year I kept a memento a huge writing piece that meant so much during my development of…
With today 's education system, there are many different ways to define the perfect essay, so many, in fact, that educators believe that students are unable to write academically. Lea and Street 's Student Writing in Higher Education: An Academic Literacies Approach, discusses the difference between what is expected from students in higher education and how to help students improve their writing practices. By performing the research project entitled “Perspectives in Academic Literacies: an Institutional Approach,” Lea and Street are able to get a look at these issues more in depth. By including both students and faculty in the study, there will be additional viewpoints to work off of to improve the research, demonstrating that the sharing of information is vital for the success of student writing.…
Writing is an art; we create our thoughts in your mind and express it on paper. Once we start writing we keep getting new ideas and when we re-read what we wrote, sometimes it might surprise us. I like to write during early mornings or in the evening when it is quiet. My reading table is facing towards the window so when fresh air is in my room, fresh ideas generate inside me as well. I make sure to have some healthy snacks and a bottle of water in front me…
Out of all of the subjects I take in school, my favorite would have to be writing. I enjoy this form expression through words, and also enjoy reading expression through words. Writing allows me to express my feelings, thoughts, or emotions; I can put my mind and all of its thoughts up on display for all to be able to read and see. Through writing (and reading) I can read other’s ideas and works, and I can benefit from those. I can compare my thoughts with others, and teach and learn through writing and reading, creating a sort of symbiotic relationship between me and others.…
For eighteen years, I have roamed this earth, and for thirteen of those years I have been able to harness my craft in writing. As I look back on those times, I see how much I have improved. I learned that I despised word count essays and loved creative writing assignments. My literacy journey began in kindergarten where they taught us how to write out the alphabet, my name, and simple sentences. I don’t remember everything that about my time in kindergarten, but I do remember how frustrated I was trying to write out my name.…
As a senior at TCPS, I am currently taking my second dual-enrollment college course, comp one. Before this college level writing course, I thought I had the skill of writing papers mastered. Throughout grade school, writing a paper in a few hours was easily achievable and was the general thing to do. My peers and I easily wrote papers without effort and made good grades. Therefore, when I started my first college writing course, I thought this was the thing to do.…
I would say I have a neutral opinion on English classes. Some days I like them, and some days I dread the time when I have to go home and write another really long essay. My writing process has always been about the same from year to year because I tend to do very well on most of them. I have really enjoyed reading books and plays in class, and I hope we can do that in the future.…
Prewriting is the beginning stage of the writing process, and there are some things I like to do before I am prepared to write the opening statement. The best way I start is by asking myself the question of, what should I be writing about? Figuring out what is the topic or theme of what I am writing about is one of them. If I choose something that moves you in some way, my writing is more likely to be interesting to the reader. So, “Why would I want to write about it?”…
My Writing Process My process of writing has been quite simple. I write in the same place with the same writing tools. It works for me and I wouldn’t do it any other way.…

To me, writing has always been busy work and something that teachers only used to create grades. My writing experience in high school was very limited to one category in: practice AP essays. The writing I did in class was always preparing for AP exams and was very fact based. Most essays, such as history, were only used to show that I knew the material and weren’t graded on how good the writing was. I didn’t feel like I had any freedom to stray away from the format that the AP graders expected because I didn’t want that to affect my score.…
