Technical writing

My first heart break was a result of writing my first narrative essay. I was in 5th grade and we were learning about the Gold Rush of 1849. We were told to write a story, in first person, about what the long journey may have been like for a child traveling with their family to California in hopes of “striking it rich.” The title of my essay was “Kitty’s Dream” but it turned out to be more of a nightmare for me. I was excited to do this homework. I had a whole week to finish this assignment…

school that I graduated from, unfortunately, did not have a newspaper to be apart of, and when I found out about this organization on campus, I knew that it would be a great experience that I could learn a lot from. I’ve always had a passion for writing, and I figured that this would be a great opportunity to learn about the process of creating and publishing a newspaper. I was informed a lot about the newspaper through a representative that visited my communications class along with a weekly…

“Nonverbal communication captures more feelings of a conversation then actual words"(Seiler, Beall, Mazer 2005, p. 115). It has so many different meanings, from looking, touching, and moving with your body. Body language Is what some people capture from having a certain conversation. Too be honest, I wouldn’t trust any word from someone without body language. Touch is also important, and what I think is the most important. Trying to get someone to read you through your touch. Some people might…

Recent studies have shown that writing notes by hand is more effective than typing notes on a computer. Writing by hand helps students remember the material learned in class. Using too much technology affects important life skills and the way students learn. Researchers have studied the effects of writing notes and typing notes. Even though taking notes on a computer helps with organization and is much faster than handwritten notes, the best option is to write notes by hand. Schools are using…

After the discussion on the “Method of Physical actions” we moved to a new discussion concerning “Active analysis.” I personally feel that a lot of the material covered from the reading was previously discussed. The text however notes a few differences in…

I wrote down the most tragic thing to ever happen to me in my diary when I was only nine years old. I had been home alone with my ninety-year-old great grandmother, who I called Juju, for the night while my grandmother and aunt went to a business dinner. She told me she was going to bed so I decided to watch television in the living room on the other side of the house. As the night went on, I heard this weird, eerie, tapping noise and I couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. I was scared…

The overall researching and writing process as a group was simple because my group was easy to work with and each individual contributed in researching, writing, and presenting. Researching was fairly straightforward and did not require much digging around…
