Process improvement

every individual generates a composing process and a specific way in which they develop their ideas into a finalize piece. From outlines to prewriting specific points you wish to include in your piece, every individual identifies through a different approach that fits their thought process, all with the use of metacognition and awareness of one’s own feelings. Throughout not only this semester but, through many years of schooling, I have begun to develop my process and change from sprawling out…

study focused on the quality, quantity, and the revision process. The data showed there was a positive effect on the quantity of writing using a computer. The effect was stronger for students in middle and high school. The word processor affected the quality of the writing but the effect was smaller. Students who used computers made more changes to the writing than students using pencil and paper. The research showed the writing process was more collaborative and involved. There was an…

The relationship between writing center and improvement in writing ability has been a big question for Author Casey Jones. He as done research to find out if there is any effective ways in finding out the answer. Casey believes that trying to find evidence to prove this theory is near impossible. He states many different factors that would interferer with finding out if writing center improves students writing ability. One of these factors was the way the writing centers criteria are set up. It…

is established. More importantly, however, the information he gains from his sources is used to support his argument and opinion. I realized this is the same case as in writing.The sources need to be credible and must flow with my argument. My improvement in this area is demonstrated by my correction from my first essay to my second. In my first essay “Better to be Daring” I stated that Icarus is merely representing “his expression of personality”(Gill), and is being watched in amazement for it.…

My writing process is currently just typing whatever comes to mind at the moment and then going back to read over it. I’ve only written a personal narrative essay, I haven’t made a decent writing process yet. I also let a few of my friends read my paper and help me make corrections on Google Docs. On an estimate, I probably spent around 1-2 hours daily, typing and revising my paper in my dorm. Like I stated before, I currently just write whatever comes to mind and then revise it later. I also…

me realize other styles I can incorporate into my writing. In addition, I noticed my structure of writing improved exponentially due to the fact the cycle required the second draft in the same week, forcing me to edit my draft, which results in improvement of my writing structure. I did not include an essay for the portfolium project, but if I was to include one it would definitely be the Review Annotated Bibliography 2 as it was my second time writing a similar assignment, which would make it…

When an individual can relate to what they are reading, they will be more engaged compared to reading a piece that fails to connect to them. Although the First-Year Writing program succeeded in building up better writers, there is always room for improvement. The program could consider new pieces of recent work and content that students can form an opinion…

offered me hope for the class. Scott was going to focus on developing our understanding of writing conventions through writing, because he, like Tim Gillespie, believed that being a fluent writer was an integral aspect of teaching writing, and that the process was infact as (or more) valuable than the finished product. If this was indeed going to be the case, then Scott's class was for me. Although I didn’t see it at the time, in reflection I realize that those two first handouts were the…

very glad that I decided to take it. Throughout the course we wrote four papers, including a narrative, a response, a synthesis, and an argument. Each was difficult in its own way, but I managed to work through the issues I was having in the writing process and pull out with what I feel are really good grades. Each paper got more difficult as more texts got introduced, but it only led to a more accomplished feeling as each paper was completed. Throughout the short fall semester in First Year…
