DACA Quotes
Doing research and quoting has been a struggle for me because it something that I wasn’t really used to doing, so when it came to it I didn’t really understand what it was that I was supposed to be looking into. For my first essay on DACA I didn’t really understand what times of quotes I’m supposed to add into my paragraphs and what fits perfectly. My first draft showed no quotes on the research I had done, when it came to the revisions I made sure to rewrite some of my paragraphs and include those quotes that I had

    DACA Informative Speech Essay

    Good afternoon senators, I Tim Kaine am here to talk on behalf of Virginia on the pending matter of DACA. As we all know DACA is an American immigrant policy which allows a two-year stay for some individuals who came into the U.S as minors, this allows them to obtain a work permit, driver’s license, the opportunity to go to college or university, and delay their deportation. DACA was established by our former U.S president Barack Obama back in June 15, 2012 during a speech in the Rose Garden of the White House, DACA now protects 800,000 illegal immigrants across the nation. In November of 2015 Obama tried expanding DACA to allow more immigrants to be eligible for application, although in December of 2015 Texas and 25 other states all with Republican…

    1. ”When his wife had died, Jurgis made for the nearest saloon, but he did not do that now, though he had his week’s wages in his pocket” (Sinclair 241). The significance behind Jurgis’ actions emphasizes his psychological growth as an individual as he is now able to control his urges in a dire situation. In addition, a crucial factor contributing to his self-control is realizing that his last physical remembrance of Ona is no longer here.…

    Foster Literacy Reflection

    A struggle for me in my writing is properly incorporating outside sources. This is most obvious in my Study Sync assignment on being transgender, where I did not quote any of the sources I read, or cite the ones that I was referring to. But by our last assignment, the research paper, I had become much more skilled in incorporating expert sources in my writing as well as analyzing them to further my points. Our first assignment, What’s in a Name, honestly makes me cringe. I think I was being a try-hard with much of my wording. I used the phrase “black noir sky,” but noir is black. I basically just said the blackety black black sky. Thankfully this issue improved much over the course of the year. Also, while writing in this class, I noticed I was not writing just to finish the assignment, rather it became an actual learning experience, in which I learned to adequately express my beliefs and challenge my own beliefs. Unfortunately, having these kind of learning experience is altogether a rarity in school…

    English 1010: The Four Learning Outcomes

    Writing is one of the learning outcomes. In order to satisfy this outcome I need to “[plan] and compose a well-organized thesis-driven text that engages with college-level material” (Weaver 2). I also need to “[develop] a flexible revision process that incorporates feedback to rewrite multiple drafts of a text for clarity” (Weaver 2). From my first writing assignment to my most recent assignment, I showed sufficient improvement in my ability to write. On Homework #2 the source review, I received twenty-three out of thirty. This was my first attempt on this type of assignment. Professor Weaver commented on my assignment and told me what I didn’t include to improve Homework #2. “The first line of a citation is NOT indented but…

    Course goal two states, “incorporate texts into essays as meaningful support, making strategic use of summary, paraphrase, and quotation” (Villarreal). This course goal gave me a vivid point of view on how to take a complete reading and summarize it to one or several paragraph. One example is the article I used in essay three “Negotiating Identity” by Monileak Ourng. This article compacted more than one claim causing several main idea to be established. From understanding course goal two, I was able to paraphrase the article making it much easier to draw out the main idea. From paraphrasing the article, I was able to covert the whole reading into several paragraph without plagiarism In my essay, I stated, “Ourng’s purpose of writing this essay is to show how linguistic heritage has an effect on second generation immigrants identity” (“The Relationship Between Language and Identity” 2). I was able to use my own interpretation to give the readers a good understanding of the article and the main idea.…

    Writing Reflection

    Fortunately, these mistakes took less time to fix. I constantly positioned commas before and after embedded quotes in continuous sentences, where commas are not necessary. For example, I wrote: “According to Tompkins, understanding that, “facts...are only the product of a perspective,” helps us understand how texts can persuade us.” To fix this sentence, I removed the commas introducing and closing the direct quote because I only need to put commas before and after the quote if it is a separate point from what I am saying. I also confused the situations in which I should use affect versus effect. I originally wrote, “...receiving the desired affect that the intended audience would gain,” when I should have used “effect” since I am referring to the effect as a noun not a verb. Lastly, another problem I found myself making was adding extra words in efforts to create structurally parallel sentences. For instance, I included “the” in front of “Europeans and Native Americans,” when it was not essential to keep the sentence in parallel structure. Removing duplicate words like this made my essay easier to read. Grammatical errors are something that I will always have difficulty with while writing, yet through extra practice I am slowly learning to avoid these…

    A note on paraphrasing and quoting: Quotes are direct transcriptions of text from other sources while paraphrasing uses your own words to express others' ideas. You should attempt to paraphrase where possible and only use quotes sparingly and strategically. Both paraphrasing and quoting require referencing, and quotes must refer to the page number from which they were taken (see Books).…

    My Chinese Red Shoes

    In my in class essay, “My Chinese Red Shoes”. I learnt how to construct an essay. The structure of the essay should have five- paragraph. I chose to apply negative opinion regarding my tradition red shoes. I support my essay, by mentioning more than three cited quotes From Nguyen’s “ Goodbye to My Twinkle Day”. I learn to put page number of the quote in brackets, and the full stop goes out side of the brackets. “But it tastes like memory”(172). I also learnt to use the “ loaded sentence” to introduce the essay. I try to make my responds clear to each of the quote. I try to have only one cited quoted per paragraph.…

    Throughout the process of writing this comparative essay, I felt that the most important task was to analyze and describe the conventions that separated the genres that were discussed. I organized my paper so that a reader with no knowledge of the genres would be able to read it and gain a basic understanding of both genres before I began contrasting the genres. By completing this essay I feel that I have obtained a sufficient understanding of the writing strategies that we first discussed in class. I am especially glad that we discussed how to read like a writer because I feel that reading analytically is one of my strengths and the class discussions helped me to understand my strength in this aspect. However, I feel that I still have much to learn in terms of establishing credibility because of I still do a poor job of incorporating sources smoothly in my paragraphs. In this specific paper, my paragraphs were clear and concise; I feel that readers would not be confused at any point of what my purpose is. My peers who reviewed my paper agreed that the strength of this essay was its clarity. The hardest part of completing this essay for me was picking two genres that could be compared in-depth and also finding examples to incorporate as evidence. The two genres I chose to write about in my project builders were bad examples to use and therefore I had to select new genres and examples to write about right before the first draft of the writing project. If I had more time, I would’ve spent more timing researching examples to use as evidence because I feel that my essay lacks in well-incorporated quotes. When it is time to edit this writing project for the final portfolio I plan to spend a lot more time finding reputable sources and using the right context to transition into the selected quotes without any awkwardness. As for feedback, I would like to ask how I could incorporate more sources without making my paragraphs go off topic or…
