I imagined English 101 would be like. Since I did not write many papers in high school, it was a struggle for me to challenge myself as a writer. In the beginning it was nerve racking and stressful as I wrote, but as time went on it started to feel more natural. For class I have written a summary of Henry Wechsler’s, “Getting Serious about Eradicating Binge Drinking,” and discussed the Pros and Cons to his article in a response paper. So far this semester I have successfully achieved the skills…
What Improved my Score in the Argumentation Paper Assignment? The writing class that I have completed this semester was very helpful to improve my writing skills. Going through the writing process in theory then apply it in multiple assignments was very useful to recognize my weaknesses and how to work to develop them. While writing my argument paper assignment, there were many factors helped to improve my score; I worked hard in outlining, build my argument and support it based on the rules to…
This is actually a good question! Personally, I will share with my wife, friends and family members before I share with my boss or co-workers. I make that statement because of the line of work I am in. My field of work does not require any writing skills yet it does require reading skills. When I say reading skills I am referring to reading blueprints of symbols and abbreviations rather than words. I am a welder and we have to read blueprints in order to put a part together and weld it…
Progress Paper This is a reflection of my evaluation on my progression from the first essay I wrote to the second. Looking back at the first essay I wrote in this class titled “My Experiences” and the second essay I wrote titled “The Variety of Family Structures in Today’s Society” I noticed several things. I had wording choice and punctuation errors in both essays, but my body paragraphs had good development. I needed to elaborate more with certain topics that I brought up, but my thesis…
brainstorm, make any lists I will need and even draw pictures that describe what I would like to write about. This helps me to better focus on my organization structure of my paper as well as helping me showcase my ideas more successfully. The next phase is my draft phase. The draft phase is where I actually start to write my paper using the ideas that I worked out in my prewriting phase. I am not really concerned with my choice of words or my sentence structure at this point. This is…
analysis paper, I saw how much I have improved throughout this year in writing. Although, I have many weaknesses and strengths in writing I managed to finish off this paper strong. In my analysis, my introduction went well and so did my thesis. I managed to develop both of them right off the bat once I started my paper. Another part that went was the interview with a field agronomist. My interview I did added the spice I needed for my analysis paper to be complete. Throughout my paper, I…
English it was my highest grade I had in out of six classes. My teacher Mrs. Barnes always had given me props on the good work I do in her class and it made me feel good every time. I’ve learned every technique that Mrs. Barnes had taught us to write a paper and I never had any doubts of writing them wrong. When it came down to the steps of writing an essay I did them. Until, the day that I had to take my writing SOL test. The day of the SOL test I went to Mrs. Barnes for one more good luck…
major differences between high school and college is my experience with writing papers. Throughout my high school career I rarely had to write papers, and when I did the teachers helped me along every step of the way - practically writing the paper for me. I was also given long periods of time to write a single paper. However, in college things are very different. Almost every week in college I am required to write papers in several classes and finish the assignments in a short period of time.…
am very good at getting the format correctly for each paper. I understand what is expected format wise and usually tell my peers in peer review how they…
