My Writing Reflection

Decent Essays
If I were to go back and revise my paper I would try to add to my analysis in the third and fourth paragraphs. I would also consider doing some reorganization within those two paragraphs. I would also take more time to go back and look at my punctuation. I would also seek out someone to read over my essay and give me feedback or suggestions for corrects I might have missed.

When I revise my writing I dedicate most of my time to looking at sentence structure and seeing if it makes sense. This includes taking complex sentences and breaking them down into shorter, simpler sentences. Once I decide where do divide a sentence I try to rework it. I may reorganize sentences or replace words to make my langue appropriate for formal writing. The second

    Over the last four essays, my ability to write has improved exponentially from the beginning of the year. Through the four essays I have learned valuable skills that will be the support for future essays. On the two beginning essays my ability to use vocabulary and other valuable skills was improving. By being supplied by information from the instructor, and fellow classmates I was able to spot my weaknesses in my writing and improve where improvement was needed. As the semester progress each essay improved upon the last as self reflection and reflection from others was used wisely.…

    My mind feels like a 1000 piece puzzle missing a piece. I can’t simply find the right words to say to start this paper. It is always like this when freewriting; the idea of freewriting in and of itself frightens me. Never able to put the words in my head onto paper in a way that it can be read eloquently by others. My hands start to cramp automatically at the idea of freewriting.…

    My experiences with writing have been somewhat limited until I signed up for English 101. I have to admit that English was not my favorite subject in school. I never felt like I was any good at writing, and spelling is still not my strong suit. I always felt like I was better at math. My attitude towards writing was my biggest hindrance to my success.…

    Knowing I had to aim for a different audience this time around really affected my writing. When my tone for the original paper was rather informal and even somewhat fun, now I had to write for the APA, a group of people who take this line of work very seriously (as they should). Due to this, I gave my arguments a more serious tone, and I even expanded my vocabulary a bit to give a good impression. If I want the APA to listen to me, I should write in a tone they would use. I was careful about the sources I used for this.…

    Therefore, I have grown accustomed to critiquing while trying to develop the content of my papers. Although proper grammar and effective word choice are crucial to writing a cohesive piece, worrying about it early made the process slow and exhausting. I procrastinated to avoid the hours of sitting in front of my screen, rephrasing the same sentence until I was satisfied before starting the process over again with the next sentence. However, in this chapter, I learned that I could be patient with myself during this early stage. Drafting could be the initial phase of the process, or it could be preliminary to the actual writing.…

    Reflection is to revise, to rethink and to take a step back and make sure something is at your best preference. This term is one that I always knew existed, but didn’t apply it to my own work or to my own life. However, now that I know exactly where to apply it, I realize it doesn’t have to be only in education. It could be used in education, in one’s career and life says Sandra L. Giles. It’s interesting because I know exactly what it is, yet I never found the urge to actually apply it.…

    Throughout my academic career, I have taken and been successful in a large number of English classes. In high school, my writing followed an academic format, mostly writing towards a prompt. Although I was able to gain writing practice, I never received a large amount of feedback that I could use to help myself in the future. Similarly, when I started college I practiced different forms of academic writing, structured around a prompt and focused on the end goal of a good grade. However, in college I was able to start gaining useful feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of my writing that I could apply to later assignments.…

Through my years of schooling people have determined my weaknesses and strengths that I would need to work on in my writing. In this academic writing course, I got to assess my own strengths and weaknesses based on the trouble I had writing, feedback, and overall grades. In all my years of school, I have always had trouble beginning an important paper.…

    Throughout the course of the semester, my ability as a writer has increased at a slight level. The semester began on a rough patch with my initial submission of assignment one, but that was quickly resolved in my revisions. Since that point, my grades have been relatively similar. I would accredit this improvement to the feedback I received on the first assignment, although some of my faults could be seen in the next assignment as well. Since that point, however, my writing has been relatively consistent.…

It has really taught me more about the understanding of the writing process and structure, in which helped me to not focus so much on the actual writing parts.…

    I am very thankful for taking this course as I feel I have vastly improved in multiple areas of my communication. I had never taken a course that involved writing a paper and then presenting a speech on it to the class. It was either one or the other, not both. That is what intrigued me to take this course before the semester started. For myself great strides were made in my ability to convince readers through the toulmin model, learned in this course.…

    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…
