English 101 Reflective Report

562 Words3 Pages

In English 101 there was so much information that I learned and it helped develop my writing skills. As the class progressed, writing started to become easier and my papers sounded more mature. Finally writing at the appropriate level was just as fulfilling as receiving an A in the class. However, there is always room for improvement, especially when it comes to writing.
As time continues in English 102 my hopes for writing even better papers grows. Several things are still putting a wrench in my plans of becoming the best writer I can be. Some of those road blocks include organization, grammar and punctuation, and finding something interesting to write about. Therefore, I am looking forward to learning how to write a thoughtfully organized paper that is interesting to any audience and has no grammatical errors throughout this course. …show more content…

A new trick I would like to learn in particular is learning when it is best to take a risk in writing. Last semester I felt like I wrote every paper very safe because I was afraid of failing. However, for this class I want to become stronger with writing and learn when it is best to take a risk when writing. Along with taking risks I would also like to learn where to find the best research for papers since that always seems to be a struggle when it comes to researching. Overall the research paper seems to be the most familiar paper and the most exciting. I am actually looking forward to seeing how far I have come from English 101’s research paper in comparison to the one that will be done in this class. On the other hand, I am not looking forward to the Annotated Bibliography simply because it is a new type of writing. This will be the first time I have formed an Annotated Bibliography and it honestly seems quite intimidating. Therefore, that project seems to be the most challenging out of all the

Essay On Slaughterhouse Five

392 Words | 2 Pages

The last paper I wrote I felt confident about what I was writing on my paper and the things I wrote for the writing assignment. I was really interested because it was a book report on a book that caught my attention. The book is called Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut, it was about his World War II experiences and how he was a prisoner of war in Germany. I did find this assignment to be a little challenging because we had to write about each chapter, however, we had to write each chapter in our own words and explain what each chapter was about. That’s why I found it a little challenging because I didn’t get to finish reading some chapters.

Revising Process In English 101

468 Words | 2 Pages

Being in English 101 has impacted three different types of writing processes: drafting, revising, and editing. Before I started this class, I never made drafts; I only did pre-writes and the final copy of the essay. Now, I do the pre-writes, then type it and make the draft, and then fix any errors in it. Another writing process that has improved is revising because now instead of reading what I wrote myself, I let my friends, classmates, and teachers read it to see if they understand what I’m writing and if they see any errors. This makes my editing process easier because I know what mistakes I made.

English 1101 Course I Was Nothing Less Than A Challenge

818 Words | 4 Pages

The English 1101 course that I took was nothing less than a challenge. I learned a lot about myself through this academic course, both as a writer and as a student, as it allowed me to be tested in many learning criteria I have never been challenged in or taught.

Now that I have taken this college class, I realized that it has become more of an obstacle, than just critical thinking.

but once I realized I needed to write about something that intrigued me the most and would be the most fun to write about it became much clearer. My topic was Chicano educational justice and I chose the topic mainly because of personal experiences, I am a hispanic female student who is majoring in education and knowing that that really wouldn't have been possible without the Chicano movement is what really drove me to choose it as a topic and reflect over it. So once I was able to choose a topic I wasn't really sure how I was going to be able to access credible information except for google, which isn't always credible, so with learning in the class how to find credible sources by accessing and using my library resources and electronic databases made it much easier find credible sources
