ENG 100 Class Report

454 Words2 Pages

I attend Midlands Technical College and have been for a full semester. So far, I have taken the easiest as well as the hardest classes I will be taking this year. One of my classes was ENG 100-A63. I was placed in ENG 100 because my test scores were not high enough for the writing portion of my exam. I was not taught how to write a proper paper before attending MTC. As a writer, I write about topics that are meaningful to me. I have grown as a student and as a writer following the first day of class. The first day of ENG 100 I was assigned to write a diagnostic essay that informed Professor Wyeth of our writing skills along with what the class could improve on. I read my diagnostic essay and immediately I could tell I have grown as a writer. …show more content…

I worded my sentences better and did not have as many run-on sentences as I did before. I still struggled on smoothly transitioning from paragraph to paragraph. I did not know what I was supposed to be doing to transition from one section to the next properly. One change I noticed was my vocabulary was increasing. Rather than using "baby phrases," I used enhanced words. I have noticed that with each essay I write, the stronger of a writer I become. I have learned techniques on how to transition from paragraph to paragraph, structure my sentences better, and applied appropriate vocabulary. I have changed a few elements in my final essays. When writing an article, I start by considering my topic. I note everything I know about the topic off- hand. Then, I write my introductory paragraph stating how I was introduced to the subject. I write several articles using online resources when appropriate, stating my thoughts and feelings, and summarizing them in a conclusion paragraph. I reread the rough-draft and add in relevant details and take away unnecessary details. As I read, I make sure grammar and spelling are correct. I keep reading my essay and revising this until I feel it has reached its full

Shitty First Drafts By Anne Lamott

492 Words | 2 Pages

I have personally improved in writing papers because coming from a background where English was not as important, I had to struggle to learn American English language. In India, I was taught English as my second language and the English I learned in India was British English. British English and American English are two different things because the pronunciation, grammar, and spellings vary. Learning something that you already know and learning something similar in way to something you already know is struggle. I personally wrote so many “Child drafts” like the Anne Lamott mentioned, but I needed a lot of help in shaping my papers

How Emergent Self-Knowledge Of Personal Writing Influence What Will Be Taken To Develop Writing Skills

658 Words | 3 Pages

Emergent self-knowledge of personal writing influences how approaches will be taken to develop writing skills in students. Utilisation of a writer’s journal enables emerging writers to understand relationships between the purpose of a journal activity and the intended audience (Bishop, 1996, p.34). Acknowledgement of self-emergence as a writer enables the author to include additional information into their work for clarity of the text, therefore enhancing that knowledge attained, ensuring the writer understands the importance of skills associated with writing polished pieces of writing. It is important for educators to have a refined understanding of language and how it works. Research shows the more understanding an educator has on developing writing skills in their students, the task involved will become less complicated, resulting in meaningful learning experiences for students (Loane & Muir, 2017, p. xviii).
