In this article “Why Johnny can’t write, and why employers are mad,” I learned that for able to get a well job you have to be able to write and communicate effectively so that people from outside of your company can understand what you are trying to tell them. Also, so that they won’t get pissed or leave your company for a lack of writing and communication with them. You could also, lose money because you don’t have enough people to help your business grow because of your lack of communication…

This week’s work was focused on two themes that I feel guided my learning to becoming a more effective teacher of writing. These themes included developing as a writer through writing invitations and teaching students how to write effective sentences through sentence combining instruction. Living “The Writing Life” In completing this week’s writing invitations, I really challenged myself to try out different genres of writing in response to the prompt. I started off the first writing…

Why am I not applying for law school? When I graduated high school and on up to my third semester of college, I was a Political Science major determined to go to law school. I even created a vision board with the list of school that I was going to apply to. Now, three years and three major changes later, I find myself applying for a Masters of Arts in English at Wayne State University. English began to alter my plans during my first major specific class. Prior to my Children’s Literature class,…

Growing up I was never a big fan of books or writing. I would cringe whenever I was given assignments to read a book that I would have to write an essay on, and always looked for a way to get out of it. I remember doing general research on a book rather than taking the time to read it. I think I continued to stay this way until about ten years ago, when I began to write reports while serving in the military. I started to learn that it was more of an art form rather than just putting my ideas…

How to become a good reader? This question might sound like a nonsense question on the surface to the most of you. And you may reply: ’what do you mean by how to read? As if we haven’t read a single thing in our entire lives’. But, the fact, my friends, is that most of us, although we have been reading since the age of 3 to 5 years or even younger, do not know how to read. Even I came to know that a couple of months back. Let understand that with the help of a real-life example. I am a student…

For this radical revision, I decide I wanted to do something unique, and from what I have seen, mine is the only one of its kind in the class. At first, I had considered creating a series of drawings that depicted how uncertainties affected an individual, but after having an internal debate with myself. I decided to create one drawing with an erasure poem that narrated what was going through a person's head, but at the same time, the narrator would be the individual going through this situation…

Prior to joining Journalism, classes I took have helped my proofreading skills. Especially Creative Writing, in which I proofread several different pieces of writing. I practiced applying proofreading skills to my own writing and my peers’…

To begin, for a considerable amount of time I had been considering writing a short memoir about my identity of a member of the gothic subculture, and my experience of being what is typically referred to as a “black sheep”. When I envisioned this piece, I had an idea of an article in a magazine that uses a narrative style in order to get the message of “don’t judge a book by it’s cover” across to the audience that is reading the piece. For a magazine article like I pictured this short narrative…

When i am with students from other school, one question always comes, how many students is enrolled in your school? And they are always surprised by the fact that there is over 4000 students in my school. Therefore making it hard hard for all of us to know everything about each other, adding the fact that BHS is one of the most diverse schools in this region. Every day when i am walking through the hallway and look around me it is hard to say “i am actually in the United States of America”.…
