Reflection Of My Writing Process
This semester was a great learning experience for me. For my writing process, if I was reading a book, I always highlight specific details or big ideas. It made it easier for me to find important evidence. I also highlighted stuff because I knew your reading quizzes would ask specific details that otherwise wouldn’t be taken into account. I knew what to look for when it came time to actually writing it. When I highlighted, it helped me realize a pattern or the underlining meaning because I would make connections between different parts of the book. During my research paper, the little lesson of how to do bibliography cards was very useful to me. I like to be able to know what is expected and how to meet the expectations, without feeling to

    Describe My Writing Process

    My writing process all depends on what I am writing. Some writings I can sit down and write the whole things and be done with it, while others can take me multiple days or even weeks. I normally sit down and work on it until I finish, get tired of it, or a hit a roadblock. I try to stop when I feel like I am writing the same thing over and over or if I feel like I just need a break. Most of the time, if I feel like I am writing and it is really bad, it is because it is and I need to take a break and come back to it later. Working on it in pieces normally works well for me, to break it up and take it a little bit at a time. I normally struggle when I do not like what I am writing about or when I run out of information to put in my writing. I…

    My English 211C Class

    I also made it difficult for myself because the entire semester I was trying to find sides and argue for a side, but most of the assignments did not require me to do that. I also learned the importance of asking questions as well as the use of the writing center. Without those factors this semester would have been very difficult, but due to the clarity they ensured me I was able to come out on top. I learned more about what works for me as a writer such as when I am conducting research and reading different articles it is helpful when I write down key things within the article. I learned that I do better with a paper when I do an outline then I write my rough draft on paper then I type it. I also learned a lot about life because it was all about current issues which I did not really keep up with until this class, but I regret not keeping up with them before this class. I find current issues very interesting and I like exploring the different viewpoints and why they believe that. I also learned that in life when someone does not agree with you it is good to still listen to their side although you may not agree because most of the time you guys can find something you can agree on then you can compromise. Compromising is very important in everything because everyone will not agree with everything you…

    Reflective Essay: My Changes In My Writing Process

    I have learned that revising your writing makes it way better than before. You find your mistakes and realize you can replace words such as “bring to” to a different high vocabulary word such as “cease”. I know now that there is no way to make your paper perfect. There will always be a word, words, or sentence you could change.In addition, I’ve gained a better understanding on passive and active sentences. Once I was done writing my paper, and began to reread it I found some passive sentences. All I did was revise the sentence which helped my writing flow better. Initially, I read the first paper I wrote for the Quarter 1 Writing Assessment and I noticed that I didn’t follow the directions completely. As I read on, there were many simple sentences and not many transitional words.…

    Reflective writting

    Coming into preparing for my paragraph I had three goals; make a strong a valid point, answering all of the possible questions a reader may have, and having a structured well developed paragraph. I wanted to maitain these goals throughout the writing process. I had to do minimal research becasuse I was familiar with the topic. There are three reasons why I chose to write about the qualities it takes to be a firefighter. First, I was able to choose the topic that I was most comfortable with. Second, I knew a lot about the efforts it takes to becoming a firefighter. I had a lot of outside information that most people would not get by simply using google. Finally, I felt for the first time, that I organized my writing in such a way that the message was clear and my opinion was supported with facts and life experiences. By doing this parargraph, I learned that it was important to have an organized outline, facts that support my position and details that enhance the message. It was a very long process for online one single paragraph but it allowed me to get several peer edits and other peoples opinions to make it an exceptional reading. Allowing my peers to look at my rough draft and make corrections or suggestions was a great and simple way for me to enhance my brain into creating structure. It also allowed me to interact with my classmates and brain storm. Overall it was well drawn out process and beneficial experience. I was able to maintain my goals throughout the process and learn some new techniques and develop them into my writing.…

    Reflective Essay: How I Put Myself As A Writer

    When one masters a certain practice, one becomes confident and nearly perfects the practice either because one had guidance or practiced continuously. I have not put myself in either one of those situations. To be honest, I write ‘put myself’ because I believe I had the choice of removing myself from classrooms to another better one; and the choice of being able to discipline myself to practice writing continuously.…

    Reflective Essay: My Experience As A Writer

    Throughout my writing experience I have always struggled with my body paragraphs. I tend to always have a strong introduction but once I began to go into my first body paragraph I lose my train of thought. One of my main issues is that I get to wordy. Which then leaves me with fragments. Lastly, which I’m sure most people have an issue with is basic grammar errors such as, spelling and placing commas. I feel that my writing has had a small progression. Through this class I have learned more writing techniques that have helped me as a writer.…

    Reflective Essay: How I Become A Better Writer

    Throughout this semester I have received a lot of input and criticism on my essays from my TA, my professor and fellow students. This semester I was fortunate to receive quick, fairly reliable, built in feedback. From the feedback that I have received by taking this class I believe that I have become a better writer as it was beneficial for the most part. Feedback that I received from my fellow students was occasionally helpful. It typically varied from week to week. One week I would write a paper and get a ton of markings and criticism on it which was helpful because I was able to see what I did wrong and I would rarely have to get it proof read another time. Other times I would turn in a paper and it would come back with few markings and comments. This felt almost like a waste of time because I knew that I had more mistakes that I did not catch earlier. Because of this I would have to go out of my way and someone else would have to go out of their way to get it proof read again, or I would risk handing in the good copy with mistakes. One thing that I appreciated from peer evaluation days was that was able to see what worked in my paper, what did not and what I need to improve on.…

    Reflective Essay: My Writing Process

    Over the course of this year in English, I think my writing process has excelled the most along with my overall writing. In the past, I have used similar techniques to develop a final essay, but, this year, I have begin to rely more heavily on planning out and slowly chipping away at my essays and papers. I believe also that because of this planning the strength of my writing as a whole has grown. Personally, I do not think that I grew in my vocabulary usage. Overall this year, I grew as a writer in ways that I would not have predicted.…

    Reflective Essay: My Writing As A Writer

    In school, we have been required to write many papers on many different subjects, some being timed and others not. Writing has never been something that has come easy to me, especially when put on the spot and told to write a paper in a certain amount of hours. When I write, I like to have time to think and plan my essay. Being able to revise and edit the paper makes it even better than it was before. When I am given the time to plan my essay, the writing has more depth than when I am put on the spot and have no time to think about what will go into my paper.…

    My Writing Style Reflection

    To be honest, I have always used my emotions when I write, whether it is for a hobby or for my work in college. My emotions have always helped me push through assignments that I considered difficult and taking a position on projects that required me to take a side. However, my emotional style of writing was not able to overcome this new style of writing that my rhetorical communications professor introduced to me. I will admit it, I did get aggravated in the beginning of the class because this kind of writing was unfamiliar to me. But I began to broaden my horizons on how I write and properly communicating my own ideas which led me to develop my theory of writing through four major assignments that was given to me. The theory of writing that I have developed over the semester involves adapting my writing style in order to fit what is required for the paper. What this means is that my writing style is constantly changing rather than being fixed on only one style of writing. Due to my…

    From the start of this school year in eighth grade I have improved on my writing in one way or another. Since the beginning of the school year I have always struggled with writing. I never knew what to write or where to start but, as the year went on I struggled less and began to find a better starting point easier. There were somethings that I always found were easier for me to complete than others. Finding quotes to support my opinion was hard…

    Self Reflection On My Writing

    My writing for essays’ isn't all that perfect, and there are some things I really need to work on. One of the first things I should attempt to work on is my vocabulary. I feel that my writing is sometimes boring and words can get extremely repetitive. Working on vocab words and their definitions in class have strengthened my word use a bit. To solve this problem, when I read over my essays, I could try and find words that seem really common, and express my creative writing by using a more complex word. For example, I can look up synonyms to different words, so I have a more intriguing prompt. Vocabulary is one of the most important parts to having an essay that people would be excited to read.…

    Reflection About Writing

    The first paper was finally written, and I did better than I thought I would have. The process of writing is something I am still trying to grasp. With having to take a writing class last semester. It made me better prepared for Composition 1. Then after receiving my first paper back, I know it actually did prepare me. I would have been lost without that class, and struggling to get ideas out of my head and onto paper. Know I realize what my strengths are and what I learned from my first writing class. Also, learning what I still struggle with, and eventually by the time this semester is over I will conquer the process of writing. Then writing will become second nature to me.…

    Reflection Of My Writing Style

    I believe the biography I completed at the commencement of this course was thorough and on review it remains a fair representation of myself, and my perception of my writing abilities. As to being an ‘accurate picture’ of my writing that is a different story. I suspect my perception of both history and writing is filtered extensively through the lenses of past experience and current status which result in a kaleidoscope of writing styles. This ever-changing paradigm is clearly evident in all my written expression and as I look back at the biography and other writing samples I see different voices. To explain further one particular past and current prism is the impact of environment, at a given moment. I think I adopt the style and tone (voice) of whatever context I see and surround myself with. Compound this with the influence of favorite authors, books and topics and my writings become an amalgam of styles. It is questionable if I ever have a style of my own, which is the root of my doubt. Talent is difficult to envision, when it is something you truly…
