realize that “we are all writers” (117). By dismantling song lyrics, poems, and jingles, the students realized that writing is hard work and does not come easily for most people, not even their teacher. The students were able to witness the writing process for “real writers,” by identifying what the authors’ were communicating by “clarifying their intentions with word choice, allusions, and sentence…

irritated for having to go through the long writing process. I laugh to myself now because I chose this as my research topic. I chose this topic because I think writing is such a crucial curriculum standard for all students to feel comfortable with. I remember in middle school working on the writing process all the way up to even high school. Now I am happy that I had teachers who believed in using the writing process. I feel the writing process has made an impact on my writing as well. This is…

Drafting is just a way of getting started” (Unit 3.2: Drafting, par. 1). I need to learn how to be more relaxed in approaching preliminary writing, in order to make better use of my time…

be a hundred percent. From my very first piece of writing to now, my writing process and interest have undergone a very big changed. As my writing process changed through the years, so have my thoughts about writing and the experiences that go with it. When I have to write anything I…

very different. Almost every week in college I am required to write papers in several classes and finish the assignments in a short period of time. So learning about my writing process and how it works is very important to me. The first thing I do when I receive an assignment to write a paper is panic. In my stressed out state of mind, I attempt to write down everything the…

Instead of rushing headlong into a paper and writing it all in one sitting, working through the writing process actually forced me to stop and thoroughly read every source to find what information I agreed/disagreed with. Pre-writing helped to pinpoint what my beliefs/ideas were in both the personal culture paper as well as the quote-directed paper.
