preface led me to think about my teaching experience for writing. Did I ever teach how to write according to audience and purpose instead of throwing a topic for daily journal or writing assignment? The author, Lori Jamison Rog reminds me again the basic things to do for teaching reading and writing. Teacher needs to know different writing process at different stages of writing development and scaffold the students to higher level of development. As the reading does, the writing does not always follow…
have had many lifelong experiences that affect the way I read and write today, I have a few that stand out more than others. Certain experiences such as the task of writing my own essay and writing my own memoirs have developed the person I am today. An individual who enjoys writing exactly what they mean and can speak passionately about something in which they have an interest in. My intricate experience with writing not only makes me a better author, but also lets me express my identity more by giving…
When I look back at my writing experiences my memories are full of sweaty palms and anxiety attacks. Writing has never been a strong suit, I remember in fourth grade having to write a book, hand written with illustrations, my nightmare. In college my professor told me that my writing was so bad I would make a terrible teacher. Reading is a little more enjoyable than writing, I like reading books before I see the film version of the story. I am a mother now and I do not want my son to face the same…
and deal with big projects. I was really efficient in writing and being creative in my papers but not so much when it came to research papers. We mostly wrote research papers in this class so instead of using my strength in creativity i mostly had to do research and be genuinely interested in the topic i chose. I was used to taking online english classes where i had a lot of time to complete assignments so i felt very independent. College writing was similar on how i felt that i had enough time to…
started my first week and I already hard several difficult papers to conquer. I started my first paper due for my religion class, hours and hours of blood and guts spilled into this document and all that was produced were eight agonizing pages, littered with mistakes and just a terrible read. I turned in the paper knowing that my teacher laughed out loud with pure enjoyment. It was so dreadful to even look at that I submitted it without a blink of an eye and a sigh of relief came across my lips. I…
All through my years of schooling, I’ve had just about one paper that was about one page long, due every year. Therefore, I did not have to do much writing. Surely not enough to remember any of it. Writing has never been a thing I enjoyed doing, so I never bothered to remember any of writing experiences. The only writing experience I remember is having to write this paper about a writing experience. All weekend long, I sat there thinking about what to write about, and nothing came to mind. Then,…
reading and writing, has always been an important factor of my life. I’ve grown from my days in preschool, where I learned to write my name. I’ve now entered college, where I’ll learn to write detailed essays. I feel as if writing, reading, and I started at the edge of a mountain. Each time I write, there is growth expected, it’s like climbing a mountain. You don’t know which obstacles may come in your way, but you’re striving to reach the top. Unfortunately, because I’ve had some bad experiences with reading…
recall of writing was when I was four years old, attending Head Start. I learned the basics that year and in Kindergarten, such as: writing my name, colors, shapes and how to write sentences. From then on, I learned to write three paragraph essays; as the school years went by, I learned how to write longer essays and how there were different types of essays. Writing is a fundamental in life that we need to learn and enhance because it is a form of expressing ourselves and analyzing the writing world…
I feel that my writing has changed because of the writing classes I have taken as well as what types of writing required for different class. I have had different experiences with writing and learning how to write correctly throughout my high school career and earlier years; learning different writing styles from different teachers has undoubtedly effected my quality of writing. Writing has never been my strongest class nor has it been my favorite form of expressing my thoughts. My first experiences…
remember my battles with my writing assignments. Before I touched base at the phase of secondary school; I detested writing. My seventh grade English instructor Ms. Jacob was similar to a heap of salt poured on an open wound suffocated in alcohol. This blonde haired demon, as helpful as her techniques helped me facilitate my English interpretation skills, knew extremely well that my writing skills were poor contrasted with that of the rest of my class. Yet regardless she demanded grading my writing assignments…
