Term paper

This assignment was difficult to choose in terms of topic, as I started writing more, adding more creative details and narrating I stopped reading my words; I listened to how it sounded in my head, instead of rereading what I wrote. As Professor Flemming said on a feedback on my rough draft, “Check paper for apostrophe use and check paper for run-on sentences.” This is an issue I still struggle with when writing, especially if I do not reread…

it makes for better writing. My audience for the project consisted of undergraduate college students like myself, specifically first-years, who use the website Writingspaces.org, to enhance their writing ability. I felt that the best part of my paper was my rhetorical analysis of Apple. It acts as a great example of how to break down an advertisement for a company whose products are sought after by most college-aged students. Two aspects of this project I struggled with most were, the…

However, after reading “How to Mark a Book” by Mortimer Adler, I feel differently about what I was once taught. Adler makes it known that by marking books will help us all become a better reader by being more engaged with the literature. Adler coins the term “writing between the lines”. This to me is a very important message and the basis of his argument about marking books. Writing between the lines is an essential part of reading because this is when the book becomes a part of the reader. When…

different source materials and situations. Being able to define and find strong points of literacy within is sometimes difficult. The best way to tackle this question is to find out who is one’s main literary sponsors. Literary sponsors are defined as “a term coined by Deborah Brandt to describe people, ideas, or institutions that help others become literate in specific ways” (Brandt 47). Literacy was taught to me at a very young age by my mother, teachers,…

In the class of Comm Arts, one thing that many people dislike is the writing of teaching points in paragraph form. Writing teaching points in paragraph form is a waste of time, an unhelpful action for students, as well as an action that lowers motivation in students. There is an obvious alternate suggestion to writing teaching points in paragraph form, too. Writing teaching points in paragraph form is a definite waste of time. Four students were interviewed, and all of them said that writing and…

two different parts, reading and writing. Both of which I have had different experiences of. Reflecting off my past experience reading was the more challenging one out of the two. I have always enjoyed writing and learning how to express myself on paper. For those reasons, I will be exploring both of these literacies separately. Ten years ago, me being around eight years old, sitting in a reading circle with my fellow classmates. It comes to be my turn to take on the next paragraph of the book…

school. This paper will focus on why I thought Hudak’s presentation interesting and done well, the methods she used to engage her audience, and how she incorporated art therapy into her presentation.”…

I’ve always had a wide taste in terms of literature, particularly fantasy and crime. For me, literature isn’t just escapism but a way of analysing the world around you, looking at what’s happening and questioning the norm. Be that subverting aspects of a genre or satirising all of society, there’s something special about the ways literature, and more recently, film, can analyse a something in such a way to make anyone who views it analyse their world also. The first book I read that showed me…

intelligence strength is visual and hands on any type of project. But I do remember that I enjoyed to read and write as a child I had a wonderful experience and imagination, I would participate in the schools puppet plays that we would make out of paper bags in regards to the book that we read, we had to make a story puppet play out of what we understood from the books that we read from that…

Qualify your thesis….consider adding terms such as may, very likely, and often to qualify your statement. (The Little Seagull Handbook) (my example- The American Dream is very likely different for each person, because some people work hard on a daily basis just to be able to meet basic monthly…
