Process modeling

stories. I feel that I have a vast amount of respect for writers, but I also feel that writing is a chore and I tend to shy away from it. I have had some amazing English teachers that have really helped me grasp certain aspects of the writing process. One of my favorite teachers worked with me in order to improve specific spots in my writing that I got wrong. Instead of just telling me I was wrong and moving on to the next mistake she would help me understand the reason I misplaced a comma or…

oki points out the results of polls done by Grammarly, “Spelling and grammar matter to consumers of news and goods. In our polls, more than 93% of social followers think correct spelling is important or very important when shopping and 91% feel that bad grammar affects the credibility of news outlets.” Joki also notes the effect on SEO of grammar and spelling errors, “Even Google has commented on a link between good spelling and high page quality, which in turn yields greater search value.”…

A young 7th grade boy stares blankly at a sheet of paper, pencil in hand, writer's block filling the mind. Suddenly jolting up, an idea forming, the student grabs a packet of paper and smiles to, ideas leaping into the mind. The expository stations are very good for any middle school writer. They are terrific because most kids in 7th grade do not fully grasp the requirements of the rubric. The expository stations break them down into instructions on what to do in your essay rather than vague…

Guns, Germs and Steel: Blog post #1 I had a fairly basic process for picking the book Guns, Germs and Steel. I mainly decided to read it based on how it was highly recommended for AP world history. It also seemed very interesting, as it proposed a question that I have never thought about very well. I was debating over this book and Girl With a Pearl Earring, but I decided that if I really wanted to read it, I could read the latter for my own leisure whenever I wished, but this book had to be…

The things that I'm good inside of school is math because I find it very easy to work with numbers, and solve problems that include numbers in it. I am also good at Biology because I find the topic very interesting because I like learning about how our bodies works, and how our body is harmed by things around us. Another thing that I feel like I'm good at doing is reading, because I feel like when I'm reading a book, or story I can picture it clearly, and feel like I'm in the story. One of my…

Plagiarism is the act of copying or borrowing someone else’s work or original ideas (Plagiarism) and I believe that the passage you wrote for your final essay has been plagiarized. Although you reworded the original passage you failed to declare where you found this information indicating that you have borrowed the author’s original ideas. No matter what, even if you did not copy any information from the website you still used the author’s ideas and it is considered plagiarism since you did not…

I am not confident in writing essays; therefore, I am constantly trying to improve my writing skills. I set up goals in both WR100 and WR98. They include summarizing more concisely, organizing my thoughts in my essays, and identify grammar mistakes in my essays. In WR 100, I started to write outlines and they dramatically improved the organization of my paper, since I planned out the layout of my paper beforehand. However, I still make common mistakes in my papers, such as subject-verb…

Coming into English 1210, I really did not know what to expect. As we received are first essay on exemplification, I was already worried, due to the fact that I have never even heard of exemplification before. After reading about exemplification in our textbook, I started to understand what it takes to write a successful essay. “Exemplification is the act of using specific examples, or instances, to clarify a point, add interest, or persuade.”(pg.234). I have noticed an improvement in my writing…

I started out my WRD 104 class without really knowing how I write. My process was not defined and was very inefficient. Though the course of this quarter I have accomplished goals that I set and have learned not only how to be a better writer but I have a deeper understanding and appreciation of my process of writing. One of the goals I set at the start of the quarter was to learn what writing process best suits me instead of sitting at my computer staring at it blankly and hoping something…
