semester has already come to an end. When I first walked into English 102 this semester I wasn’t sure what to expect of this course, but I knew I would be challenged. Although before this course I knew how to write papers, I had trouble expressing my thoughts effectively in my writing. After this semester I feel have started to overcome the the struggle and I know it is because of the past essay assignments and class activities we did this semester. Even though I know I can still improve on my writing…
Writing for me has always been a complicated and thorough process. While I have enjoyed writing for many years, I often found myself struggling to organize my thoughts in a way that would clearly show my true self to the reader. However, after going through the Reflective Writing Portfolio course, my writing has changed in both its organization and its overall focus. By examining numerous texts and revising many of my old writings, I have learned various techniques to effectively organize my ideas…
day of semester I have written about fifteen essays and my writing process have changed a little bit. Such as taking less time hand writing my essay and just going to the computer and typing it. But when I still research about what I am going to write about i just don 't hand write it down on a piece of paper. The thing that didn 't change was how I brainstorm my ideas and that is by being in a quiet room and the best time for me to brainstorm my ideas is middle of the day and likes to music playing…
Reflection of My Writing Process As I glanced over my college courses, I found ENG-122 to be the most intimidating class. I felt like I wasn’t as prepared as I could have been because I had no previous college level experience. During the last eight weeks I now feel as though I have developed a strong sense of knowledge in English and writing. I feel like I have learned so much in such a short period of time and it has built confidence in my writing skills. Looking back on the beginning of the…
decided that year to do everything that was in my power to beat her to it. All it took me was one class and it was my strongest class that year. She got a grade below me and that was enough to beat her. But it was not until I was in 12th grade, a week before graduation that I was officially told that I was the valedictorian of the class of 2013. The writing process of my speech was a more complex one than others because I tried to involve most of my classmates and teachers because I did not want…
My [Un]changing Writing Process There is a game called darts that is based on a point system: the closer you get to the center, bulls eye, the higher the score, with the highest score winning the game. The game is how I can describe my writing style this quarter. I tend to hit the outer edge only, without going any further to nail the bulls eye in the center. Throughout the quarter this is how I have come to judge my writing, I tried to hit all the points with all the darts in my hand. Based on…
The writing process varies from person to person. This ranges from the steps taken to plan and organize the specifics of a paper, to developing strategies, to learning that some methods prove to be rewarding, while others stand ineffective. No two paths are identical. When beginning an essay, my preference is to take a blank sheet of paper, and sketch a guideline to follow. I usually make a web, or use bullets. This allows me to organize my thoughts clearly, and to grasp a general concept of what…
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. I am constantly rereading my work and usually have someone check my paper after my 2nd draft. Even though I am well-situated with my writing process doesn’t mean there aren’t things that could be fixed for the best. Improvements that need to be made are my procrastination and writer’s block. Whenever I write I am in my room with…
am a fantastic writer; however, my writing process used to be so ineffective that it altered the outcome of my papers. After many years of trying to perfect my writing, I have finally found a system that works for me. MY WRITING PROCESS BEGINS WITH AN OUTLINE, THEN DEVELOPS INTO AN ESSAY, AND ONCE I AM DONE WRITING I GO BACK AND REVISE IT. Previously, when I was given a topic to write about I would just start writing. This habit of not writing an outline formed in my Junior year of highschool. I took…
I believe my writing process has improved over the last 4 months. Through both English 105 and English 106 I have greatly improved my writing ability starting with the “freewriting” process that allows me to get everything I am thinking down on paper in broad strokes. I usually try to do this at least twice during the first part of the weekly assignments. Once I feel I have focused my core message, I usually outline how I want the writing to transition, and what are the reasons or beliefs that led…
