transitions, and awkward quote integration. I learned how to identify and work through these grammar weaknesses by the feedback provided by Dr.Harris correcting what I said wrong and by circling the errors made on my paper showed me exactly what I did wrong. He also would write comments on my paper stating what I needed to work on and the things that I did that were good. I think that I still continue to struggle with my grammar when it comes to the correct use of punctuation. I think that for…

and required me to examine the roles of women in The Pearl. From start to finish the paper taught me invaluable lessons on the integral elements of the writing process. These elements led me on a wonderful journey of literary construction I had never previously encountered. In roughly a week, I finished my thesis, expanded my topic points, and spent the rest of my time reviewing and revising the paper. My final paper did not take as much work or time as I expected. However, I still sharpened my…

In this portfolio, I have included the following papers for your enjoyment, “Contemporary Culture”, “I Believe” and, “American Apparel”, all of which I have written this semester Fall 2016 for English 101.028: First-Year Composition I at Waubonsee Community College. Each of my papers demonstrates how I have became a better writer, and since I have taken this course I have enjoyed writing more. Each one of these papers are unique in their very own way. While writing assignment two, “How do I…

Before starting college I had never written more than a three page paper. I was inexperienced when it came to writing lengthy, but still interesting papers. I still find myself to be questioning, appropriately, the content of my papers, my time management skills, and also the effectiveness of which I portray my thoughts, concepts and ideas. I have found this class to be challenging in both beneficial, and strictly frustrating ways. This class although time consuming, and difficult, has helped…

the questions. I just referred it to what ever number it was on the Moodle page. In my last seven fifty I wrote and I stated the the question then I answer the question after I stated it. I also think that my first seven fifty was a more of a formal paper than my last seven fifty where I was just writing about what I knew and learn from class, and my opinion on the topic. In my second seven fifty I also notice how I talk about all the questions that we were asked to answered and I did not answer…

that the papers are harder and it’s possible that the topics can get a little more complex but that’s nothing to stress over. You’ll find a way to get through it and pass like you always…

not the mechanics or structure of the paper. Well if there's one thing you’ve learned about English 1100, it’s that the structure of the paper that organizes the content in order to help the reader understand. The goal of writing is not only to express one's thoughts but to reach out into the world and capture someone to help them understand your thought and emotions. This semester you’ve been trying to write without any type of personal connection to your paper. Along with my effort and…

I was very clueless to how anything was going to work and what to expect. When I thought about taking composition one, all I thought was that it was going to be all writing papers. I was very wrong and this was far from true. Walking into this class for the first time, not one part of me expected to learn how to write papers through watching movies or through the in class activities we did. I expected to be given a topic, a length requirement, and a due date. This was not the case at all. For…

views. Two papers come to mind that made me critically think about stuff. One paper is the bullying paper. This paper hit home to me because back when I was a bully I thought I was doing what was right and I was no different than the bullies. I turned into one. It made me rethink everything and put myself into their shoes. It made me distinguish bullying in more than one way. Like how to take steps on bulling and how to tell the signs of a person being bullied. I loved doing this paper because…

writing this reflective paper I notice that I have grown a bit in writing. Writing have never been my strong side because there are many things to consider when you write. Such as grammar, context and what form of tense are you talking in. When I write, I do make sure to stay within the form of tense that I am using then I’ll go back and fix any grammar or misspelling that I did not catch the first round. What I like to do first is free write my thoughts about a topic or idea on paper first…
