Five paragraph essay

My fellow classmates and I mainly wrote short, 1-3 paragraph reports on various historical topics. I did well in these classes, I just never really enjoyed the process of writing. Because of a five paragraph paper I had to write in this class, I learned that writing is never as bad as I think it will be. At first, I thought IEW’s curriculum was hard and boring. Of course, as a ten year old I didn't see when I’d ever need to write a long essay about a certain topic when I could just talk about…

Thank you for letting me to be your peer to review your Final Essay, I will try my best to point out and making suggestion as far as my knowledge serves me.

College is intimidating. Essays, lab reports, quizzes, and tests, among other assignments, creep their way into students’ lives and make many attending university want to cry—myself included. Although I am a Biology major, many of my classes require the ability to write well in a formal academic voice. I would like to think that I started my college career knowing how to write in a formal manner; however, that was not the case. Only after taking Honors English 100, taught by Professor Garland,…

You don’t sweat it because you aced all of your high school essays without trying too hard. Next, you proceed to procrastinate until the night that the paper is due only to find out that the writing that you did in high school was almost entirely different to the prompt sitting right in front of you.

Over the course of the year, I have definitely grown as a writer. At the beginning of the year my essay grades were extremely inconsistent. I did well on some essays but horrible on others. It was like shooting a basketball in the dark and hoping to make it.

However, Mr. Koetzner worked with me to help make my work more concise and thus save…
