Personal Narrative: Typing My Rough Draft
Typing my rough draft was a task and I did put effort into it, but not too much because it’s just a rough draft. Participating in the peer review activity in class today really made me realize even if I had put my all into the paper I still wouldn’t have wrote it to perfection. Only because it was some things I didn’t notice along the way of typing, and simple mistakes. To help make my essay a better paper I had a peer review with my classmate Ashley. After a while of editing, I realized in order for my paper to work I realized I needed some grammar edits, a few word exchanges, and some rephrasing. As far as the grammar editing, it’s nothing more than wording and punctuation as to not only exchanging words, but also needing to add words as

    Personal Narrative: Defining Myself

    I don’t know how to begin to define myself in order for you to understand who I truly am. I believe there is more to a person than stories that mould us into who we are today; like when one asks, “Tell me your story," I don’t think about that time when my family broke into two or that time I was diagnosed with my mental illnesses. I think of coffee, because coffee is bitter and bitter people drink coffee, sad people; people with heavy hearts and heavy footsteps, with tangled thoughts, people with anxiety and words left unspoken, people like me. Lonely people drink coffee. I think of the world map I have in my room with thumbtacks marking every country I want to visit. I think of foreign languages, and how beautiful it sounds when words form…

    Personal Narrative: My Writing Process

    My writing process is usually all over the place, I have to be in my room with my door shut, my music on, my fan on, and my television on, weird, I know, but that is what I have to do in order to keep myself concentrated. After I am all situated I begin by writing down different ideas on a couple sheets of paper, listing ways I could support this idea and how it relates to my topic, sometimes when I am stuck I look up sample essays online to help me out of my rut. Once I finally choose an idea I start writing the first things that pop into my head down on another sheet of paper, it usually ends up being a jumbled mess that only I can understand. After all of my ideas are laid out onto the paper I begin placing numbers beside them so I know…

    John F. Kennedy's City Upon A Hill Speech

    After I finish a writing assignment and receive my graded version back, I learn what I could improve on. When just reading a paper in your head can spot errors, when you actually read something out loud word for word more mistakes can sometimes be found. When reading something out loud spelling mistakes might not be as obvious, but the general flow and specific word choices can be made clear on whether they are correct or incorrect. I had my dad peer review my presentation and discussion on the review of John F. Kennedy's City Upon a Hill Speech. He pointed out some mistakes, but didn't point them all out. I went back through the entire assignment and found more of the mistakes my dad had told me about.…

    Personal Narrative: The Roller Coaster Of My Creativity

    My creativity is like a roller coaster. At the beginning of my life I was riding the roller coaster of my creativity up a very high hill. This was the time when I was just starting to figure out how everything worked and what creativity ment. I found I could express myself through a crayon and piece of paper. I was drawing everything that made me happy. My family was what I mostly drew at this point, because my happiness revolved around them. As I got further up the hill the track kept getting steeper, because I was learning about my creativity very fast. I even started drawing what made me sad, like my best friends getting mad at me or my dog passing away. I could tell my mom how I felt without saying…

    Final Reflection &Portfolio of Final Versions

    I have accomplished a great deal in the past three months. As the semester ends I find myself reflecting not only on how I have survived the first semester but also what I have learned. Writing is hard work. There is so much more to it than just writing an interesting story. I also learned another important lesson; just because I worked hard on an essay before presenting it and reviewed the daylights out of it did not mean it was ready for submission. Every time I went back to read it I found new changes, typos and other mistakes I had missed before.…

    Personal Narrative: My Freshman Composition

    Freshman Composition has done so much for me academically. In previous years I have had to do little to no writing and even when we did there were no rules or writing process we had to follow. This class has built a great basis for me, towards my academic future. I do realize that I am far away from being even an average writer, but I enjoy and accept that challenge to myself on becoming a competent writer. Parts of my writing, that still need to work are my introductions and sentence fluency. While I believe that my strong suits are, that once I get past my obstacles of writing that I have the potential to write something that will make a difference, other than that all my skills are still very raw. I’ve learned many things during EN101, the…

    I learned two major things about my writing skills during this class. First, when presenting an essay for peer review, make sure that it is not a very rough draft. Second, the types of essay styles can change easily when writing. Even though my paper is supposed to be expository, using certain words and tone can create a totally different essay style.…

    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.…

    Personal Narrative: My Writing As A Writer

    Throughout the year, my writing has had significant improvements, compared to where I began. First, I began this semester fairly confident in my writing abilities. I thought that I had a strong grasp on writing concepts that include: transition words, literary devices, proper grammar techniques, correct paper writing format. In contrast, I felt that I began the year with a weak vocabulary, which has always been one of my weaker areas, If I were to rank myself on day one of class, without knowing all of the material we were going to cover, I would rank my writing skills an eight out of ten.…

    Freshman Composition Analysis

    I failed to spell out numbers, capitalize the car’s name, indent one of my paragraphs, and the use of present tense in a sentence when the narrative was past tense. These comments made me realize how easy it is to mess up on the small details. I also learned that you’re supposed to spell out numbers under ten. That is something I didn’t know before essay number one. The positive comments were also helpful with showing me where my strengths are. For example, the title of my paper and the opening sentence. On the grading scale, I got a twenty-nine out of thirty, missing a point for my grammar. I had good qualities in the paper but after reading my paper, I would change some details to make the paper have better…

    Personal Narrative: My Writing Class

    My writing has changed a lot in my first-semester essay writing class. I finally took a class that teaches me useful information and how to properly write an essay. Essay Writing overall was a fun experience it was a slow start for me in the beginning but once I was able to get the work done I was fine. There were a lot of positives to taking this class. I started the year struggling to come up with ideas to write about nut now I can brainstorm and put my words down on the paper better than ever. “If I could travel anyplace in the world for free, I would want to go to North Korea. I would love to see what it's like.” I struggled with proper punctuation and the use of commas and such throughout my high school career and I still struggle with it I hope to learn more about it in the near future. “Cars are one of the best inventions ever.” I needed some direction on making my sentences longer with getting to the point at the same time. There's a lot of small things I need to still improve on but I feel like I got a good start with the Essay Writing course. I got a lot of useful feedback from Mrs.Pennings on all my essays like when to use certain words and proper punctuation and some compliments the really…

I will also learn how to decipher various parts of others' writing styles is what I believe peer review is all about, testing my knowledge of the writing process as well as grammar usage and the arrangements of words and phrases to create well formatted sentences.…
