The first thing I do when assigned a new writing assignment is look over the rubric to see what my essay should compose of. Once I Have done that I can select a specific topic that I want to write about. I like to just think about my essay and all of its components before I start to write anything on paper. If the topic involves research I will look it up to make sure this is what I want to write about. After that I write my ideas down on a piece of paper or make a small outline composing of the main topics of my body paragraphs in the essay. When I start the draft I think to myself what is an exciting way I can introduce my topic? It doesn’t always work out well, but as long as I include background information and a thesis I am satisfied with …show more content…
The first edit I made to all my papers was to fix the MLA heading, reverse indent my citations, and take out the websites from my bibliography. The next universal problem I had to fix was to get rid of all contractions, first and second person pronouns in the last two essays, and stay in past tense. With the music moment narrative I deleted some excess sentences that just fluffed the word count and added more description to in scene action. One of the biggest problems with this essay was the word choice and flow because it seemed like I was just trying to answer the questions in the prompt directly. To fix that I took out any phrase that was contained in the rubric and reword it to still answer the question and provide more selective detail to make the paper flow better. When revising for the Song Analysis Essay I went back and elaborated and addressed my rhetoric appeals which showed a more clear distinctions between the different covers of the song and the original. I started to read the whole essay and reword some sentence to clearly show the message I was trying to give off to the read. I also add more information and interpretive work to the paragraph addressing Elvis’s address the topics in the outline better. For the Mea Culpa essay I applied the same techniques for revision I did to the other essays. I went back and watched Michael Richard’s apology over to talk more specifically about what he was

    After reading the topic, I like to brainstorm my ideas that I would like to write about. This step might even include researching the topic more using the internet or book sources, if it is a research paper or essay. I start the bibliography in this step, if outside sources are used. Secondly, I group my thoughts together, this would create my body paragraphs. This way I can have connecting ideas or thoughts together.…

    In the beginning, I looked at the different ways of preparing for a paper and one stuck out to me. I would write an outline of what I wanted to write about and then I would make sub-headings under each bulletin describing what each topic would talk about. I used this process more with my research papers than with the narrative essays because I could see what facts I needed to look up and which ones I already knew. For the non-research essays, I wrote the first sentence to every paragraph first. After that I would write an outline of what I wanted to talk about in each paragraph.…

    My writing process coming into junior year was quite flawed and would go moderately like this: I would try and start with some hook that at least sounded like it related to the topic I was assigned. I then added a thesis that did not sound like total trash that included exactly what I planned to discuss. As I wrote the rest of my essays, I would sometimes realize there was something I felt added to the argument’s appeal, and after adding it to the body paragraphs, I summed it up in a couple words and squeezed it into my thesis. That was about the maximum amount of revising I would do for my essays. My decently crafted essays contained simple diction with a few SAT words I remembered while writing thrown in awkwardly.…

    In article “So you’ve got a Writing Assignment” Corrine Hinton said “When getting a writing assignment, you should read it more than once just to get knowledge of what they are really asking for”. Hinton claims that it is really important that people carefully read their assignment again and again to understand it properly because when people don’t know the purpose of writing assignment exactly then it is really hard to write well. Again I argue that reading is the back bone of writing. I was not a good reader so I was doing mistake that i did not read my writing assignment properly and at the end I failed and it irritates me because I worked hard…

    Over the course of this semester, this class has reshaped me as both a reader and a writer. It has helped me think more critically about work I read, and to analyze the reading for components of arguments, or to find bias in the piece I am reading. This class has developed my writing style, and has aided me with becoming a stronger writer. I am now able to write persuasively, while recognizing the apposing side’s point of view. Before I started this class I was terrible at writing persuasively, however, now that I have taken this class I have learned plenty of techniques that will help me with further argumentative pieces.…

    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.…

    A major way I revised my paper was expanding on the principals of the Sanctity of Life and the 4th Amendment. In my first draft I only briefly mentioned the two, however, Janet advised that I should write more. She said that I needed to show two authority going against each other on both sides. Taking her advice I found more information on both topics to be able to give more in depth explanations. Janet suggested that I should move the position of one of my paragraphs in the section against euthanasia and physician assisted suicide.…

    “There is absolutely nothing to write about, school is either too easy to have problems or useless to try to solve them,” I thought as I read my writing prompt. The sheet of paper stated that too write about a time that I worked to solve a problem at school. The only events I could manage to think of were when the class had down time and solved a bug in a program, which wasn’t really school related, and having to present a paper, but that topic had been used for a paper in 7th grade. To avoid being called out for not writing, I started writing random sentences until the idea came to me to write about having to think of a topic to write about. The only issue with that is that I still couldn’t write.…
