Revise

with issues such as minorities not being represented in the musical play. I began to incorporate sentence structures from the book “They say/I say” for the essay to include sections of my ideas and statements about the ideas of the authors. I had to revise my introduction and the thesis statement that I created so it can allow the other body paragraphs to connect to it. I turned in my essay, I got it back and received an 82 on it. It was a slight improvement from the first essay. I wanted to get…

material more thoroughly. Since studying my writing skills, I plan to make sure that my grammar and punctuation are in check. Going through my short stories that have been created, I will choose the one that is the most relatable.

As I go on to complete my assignments, I will add a few more detailed pages, making it a complete short story. Grandma’s house…

Composing Process I recently started back to school after many years of working. Although assigned writing is a little stressful for me, I am attempting to get used to it. I like to think I am a fun person to talk to, however I do not feel I am an entertaining writer by any means. Writing is a great challenge to me because writing restricts facial expressions, tone of voice and hand gestures in which I use very frequently while speaking. This poses a problem as I try to organize and arrange…

Indicator of First Essay As everyone knows, correct grammar in making an argument, a valid reason in supporting an opinion, and great evidence in confirming a reason are all important parts of critical writing skills. These essay skills were also my key indicators in my first essay. In particular, grammar was the part on which I spent most of my time for the paper, because the ability to deliver an argument with proper grammar is my weakest point. In this class, however, my faulty reading…

in English 101, my writing has undergone drastic improvements. The first writing assignment I chose to revise was Project 1, the Advertisement Analysis. My first draft of Project 1 had no clear thesis and no specific claim, ideally, an easy problem to solve. However, this was a common issue in my writing in most of my projects this semester, so it only made sense to tackle this project and revise it first. To begin revising Project 1, I first established my thesis statement which was that: the…

Although I still have difficulties with a few writing tasks, I believe that I have improved significantly throughout this course. I have found that with my professor’s guidance along with my own personal editing that my grades have increased. Although it is difficult to not get caught up in simply striving for a letter grade or attaining a 4.0 grade point average, I would like to…

English 106 was the first real college class that I ever stepped foot in, and because of that, I was extremely nervous and unsure. The English teachers at my high school always said that the papers they assigned were held to college standards, and I always did well on those assignments, but I was still unsure about this course. I expected this course to be loaded with reading and writing assignments that would make me pull all-nighters on a regular basis. After going through English 106, I…

I was always told that an essay is developed around a thesis statement and resources that support my opinions about a prompt. I realized that there was more to an essay when I came across scholarly writing, which is writing on a higher level, usually one which we come across during college. It meets high standards of communication with outlines, tone, deductive reasoning, format, and way of analytical approach. It has a consistent way of delivering thoughts, shaping arguments, and narrowing down…

improve in my case and like I mentioned earlier my sense of style and personality in my writing has improved. It is easier for me to write as if my audience were right in front of me or I were ‘speaking directly to my audience.’ The more we write, revise, and read work we pick up knew things that enhances our writing. What is writing, is an important question to ask? What is writing, has been asked more than five times in phase one of this English course alone. So I ask myself again, and you…
