    The only aspect that bothers me a bit is that the story seems a bit jumbled; events that spread years apart are put together in one page, and then a few paragraphs later, the story flies back to third grade memories.I find myself desperately trying to reorient myself, but sometimes I simply cannot and have to reread the whole page.…

    57). This creative, summative, pencil-and-paper, criterion-referenced, teacher-developed assessment of second graders’ writing displays multiple aspects of reliability. Reliability encourages the assessment to produce student work with consistent results across multiple days and classes (Ormrod, 2014) while validity how well the assessment measures the standard or objective (Ormrod, 2014). This multiple-day assignment allows students the opportunity to repair errors made when the student had a difficult day or difficulty focusing on a portion of the assignment. Additionally, upon completion, students are involved in the assessment process by determining where they believe they score on the rubric, which clearly details the expectations, and they may decide to edit their work.

    One of the most important assignments in a high school student’s career is the Senior Paper. This paper can decide how a student will end their senior year. Obviously, this puts a lot of stress on the student and can make this paper seem like the hardest assignment they have ever had. It is very important, therefore, for a teacher to have feedback from students on how they could make this process simpler. From personal experience, I hope to give my opinions on how well the process was handled for my class and how to improve this process for future classes.…

    Throughout my youth, I always favored reading assignments where I was required to annotate and discuss questions based on textual evidence. My preference for analytical assignments emerged as the result of numerous failed essays, beginning in the fifth grade and extending to my sophomore year of high school. Therefore, when I enrolled in English Composition 1113, I was skeptical about my ability to complete the required essays. However, despite my doubts, I persevered and improved immensely as a writer.…

As one faculty member put it, “Writing is not an inoculation.” Writing skills are not something a student acquires in one semester. Writing is not easy. Expressing a series of coherent thoughts on a written page (or computer screen) is challenging. Nevertheless, the ability to do so is important for long-term professional success. Therefore the administration decided that students would benefit from additional writing courses as they settled into their majors ─ i.e. writing in their discipline.…
