to generate my paper of that free write within hours of free writing. I chose that topic (track and field jargons) because it was something I have encountered before and I that made me know how the power of language can affect one if they are new to a community or organization. Track and field is a major sport in the united states, but many writers have not written articles about this topic. I used google search engine a couple of times to generate the 5 sources I have in my paper. The…

that the teacher assigned. It is very hard for me think of ideas sometimes, so when teachers say, “free write,” it take me about a whole class period to think of an idea. Then once I think of a topic, I take a while to figure out how to start the paper. I really like to write about things that have happened to me personally, or like writing about how I feel, like in a diary or a journal. I don’t like to write about aliens, space, and fictional stuff like that. My favorite part about writing is…

Blog Review “Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast” by Julie Danielson is a great blog full of resources for students and teachers.

She studied children’s literature at the University of Tennessee and has since had a love for nothing but reading. She wrote her first book in 2004, titled, “Wild things! Acts of Mischief in Children’s…

Throughout this unit my identity as a writer and my confidence in my writing has continued to develop and improve. From the nerves I felt in regards to writing my first journal entry on the Loan and Muir quote about being a practicing writer, to the latest entry on a current news story I feel as though my writing has vastly improved, not only in its context, but also in my approach. One of the most influential pieces I read on writing came from the communications toolkit. Grellier and Goerke…

Morgan Wagers Writing a paper, such as this eight page research paper, can be a daunting task to contemplate. Where do I begin? How am I going to create eight pages of words? Even before answering the previous questions a writer should consider using a prewriting tool, such as outlining or concept mapping. So, the new question the writer should be asking is: which prewriting activity should I use, an outline or a concept map? The answer to this question depends on the type of assignment given…

Mindful Awareness Reflection Journal Shape Acknowledge I usually read when I need to for my classes. There are books on my shelves that I bought it and want to read it when I have time. There are few type of books I like to read, love novel, religion books, self-help, education books about kids, cooking books, and many other. However, it is hard to read when I have two young children. The time I read the materials for my classes are at late night, after both my kids are asleep.…

for I learn a great deal of tips to fix my mistake I need to work on in my writing. The papers I did in English 211c made me think outside the box more than my past English courses. The first paper was the Rhetorical Analysis, for one thing it was a rough paper for me write. I struggle with word choice and tone in the paper, as a result causing me to do not so great on the paper. The Rhetorical Analysis paper was about analyzing the rhetorical position and to use rhetorical appeals from several…

Throughout the semester, I had found this class challenging especially with the post lab reports. I found the post labs difficult because there was so much to write and mention. If I had gotten one part of the lab wrong, a lot of my results and labeled parts of the graphs would be wrong as well. In order to make this class successful, I found myself starting the post labs as soon as I got out of lab when it was fresh in my memory. Writing up the post labs was very time consuming so starting…

When I first received Spare Parts at orientation two months ago, I did not think I was going to have to read it. I thought the common book would be more important for those taking an English class, which I am not. Although I did not think I would be required to read the book, I thought that it may be a book that I would find interesting. I rather read non-fiction books over fiction and initially planned to read Spare Parts over the summer. That being said, I found that I did not have time to…
