The paragraph most effective was the first paragraph, it talks speaks of wills. I found it the most effective because it is a subject that should concern everyone. I found it interesting because it states that everyone needs a will and that is true. Not everyone has a will and the writer speaks of the tragedies that happened to him because of his father not possessing a will. Sentence variety means using different styles of sentences, either they are long or short, or use different rhythms. The writer of the sentence was a bit boring and he did not have a good rhythm, after I was done reading the short paragraph, I became annoyed. The author of the paragraph did not have a good rhythm because he became a little repetitive at the end of the paragraph. Throughout the middle of the paragraph the author states that his father did not have a will, at the end, the author talks about not being able to start college soon enough and once again, he mentions his father did not have a will.
WritePoint is a tool every student should use. WritePoint is very helpful and can help a student become a better writer. I like using WritePoint because when they give feedback they give examples instead of just stating how to do it. For example, I used the word “having” and the feedback I got was stating, “[Writing suggestion--"having" as a transitive verb is vague. Reconsider the sentence using "possessing," "acquiring," "developing," etc. Often "having" can simply be deleted.” I like the fact that WritePoint gives you examples of words you can replace instead of just letting the writer know that they need to change the word. The only thing I did not like about the feedback I received was when I wrote the word “being” it asked me if I wrote it as in “human being” and it gave me examples of other words I can use but it just got me very confused. All in all, WritePoint is a very helpful tool and can help improve a student’s writing.
I plan to use WritePoint in the future as long as I am

    Based upon the reading from author Donald, Murray I have learned that: The writing process is a social process, the discussion board is a tool that is incorporated within the course in order for us to help each other grow. However, there isn’t enough feedback given by peers and sometimes when it is given it doesn’t really say anything other than “your writing is great” how is it great if we are doing basic English? As stated “a critical thinker is one that questions, and analyzes the information of others” (Maker’s Eye P4). My writing process and that of my peers can be significantly improved if what is truly felt about someone’s post is expressed. I believe that my writing can be improved if I mimic the four pillars of the thinking-writing process; conducting research of my own instead of accepting what someone has to say about a topic, keeping an open mind, using evidence to support my writing and seeking knowledge in areas that’s lacking, and lastly using my own…
