Writing periods are usually teacher directed and include prompts or copying words in cursive. The only time that writing is student directed is when they free write (during any free time) or when they are working in groups. Throughout the school day, the teacher set aside 50 minutes of writing for the students. The writing period was used for…

The rhetorical decision, using all our senses, and two descriptions paper lessons were my favorite. Learning how to write not just my opinion and views, but rather factor in who I was trying to capture with my writing was a new learning experience for me. Military writing has been my main form of writing for a long period of time and in that form of writing your main goal was to get the objective across without much concern for those that would be reading the document. Most letters I wrote were…

I prepared to conduct the interview in a way that it would feel like a normal conversation and not a regular interview. For…

Introduction This Morph Syntactic Analysis project allowed me to explore the word formation of an ESL student. The student I examined was a twentieth grade male from Mexico.

Noun phrases, corpus, verb phrases, verb tense, sentence composition, orthography, and other parts of speech were areas of concentration during this process. Assessment…

members except one. I do not utilize it with my cousin. He believes that it is pointless because it’s doing more harm than good. In some approaches, I agree with him because it can ruin our grammar, vocabulary, and writing skill. For example, if it is summertime and I do not engage myself in improving my grammar, vocabulary, or writing skills the prescribed way, then I may lose…
