The Genre Experiment 1 also enabled me to obtain useful skills about conducting research. Through the Genre experiment 2 (movie review) assignment, I learned how to author a film review write-up.

Regarding strengths, I realized that I have the ability to communicate personal feelings through writing. As I move into the future, I intend to fine-tune these competences. I however noted that I have challenges in relation to run-on sentences; I tend to write long sentences that are difficult to understand. By seeking the instructor’s guidance and consulting relevant sources, I plan to methodically eradicate this writing weakness. The English 1010 course has thus enabled me to identify personal writing strengths and weaknesses that I plan to address as time goes
English 1010 was an amazing class, during the period that the class was going on I was able to develop my communication skills and become aware of the world around me and how individuals operate according to what the society wants from them. The English 1010 class helped in developing a new aspect of reasoning, analyzing and drawing adequate conclusion. Furthermore I was to know the kind of informations I can take in and avoid wrong assumptions. Most class assignment were based on distinct formats which was a little difficult for me in the beginning but eventually I was able to follow the procedures which help improve my grades in other classes too. We had a discussion on rhetorical analysis where we analyze the rhetorical strategy used, I
I agree with the message of this clip, which is to be cautious when looking for love and be certain that a deep and meaningful connection is present prior to engaging in intercourse with another. I think this is important because we live in a world that is over sexualized and as a result teaches our youth the wrong messages and leaves women feeling that they must seduce a man in order to entice and keep a man. In my opinion, Pastor Paul quoted two of the most profound statements which was King Solomon 's quote "Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires" this was a crucial message because it was directed at women who throughout history have had a tendency to seek love and in many cases try to force love when it is non-existent. Too many women today confuse intercourse with love and they end up with their hearts broken because they believed that a physical relationship would heighten their emotional
Short Assignment Three My picture is a photograph that I believe is meant to convince. The intended audience I believe is those of the Christian faith, especially the modern day “Cafeteria Catholics”. I say this because it would not be aimed at someone who simply does not believe, was not raised, or does not take part in the religion at all.

The first day of college was different for me since it started during the summer. My writing skills in the beginning of the class weren 't as strong as they are now. I knew college would be a much more difficult than high school because there would be a larger work load. The diagnostic essay was the first essay I wrote in college. I was really worried about the results I would get on a college level.
Advertisements are means of marketing communication companies, especially larger companies use to persuade their audience to buy their product, or to promote their products, by using different rhetorical appeals. In this essay, I will talk about two different soap ads “Vivel luxury and Fiama Di Wills” that advertise similar products, and how each soap ad uses different rhetorical appeals to persuade its audience. Vivel luxury and Fiama Di Wills are two different Soap ads that advertize similar products, but do their advertisement differently. Although the two ads uses the effectiveness of their product as their ethos and logos; however, Fiama Di Wills Soap ad focuses more on what the soap provides for the body (proteins), while Vivel luxury soap ad focuses more on what the soap does to the body (nourish the body).
As a reader one has to know what to look for and identify the main idea and understand what the author is trying to argue. Before taking Writing 10 I felt I was a good reader and able to identify the main idea in a prompt, but little did I really know. After going through the research process and trying to identify reliable sources I have essentially cut out the unnecessary information and I go straight to the idea or argument being made by the author. As of before, I would focus on every detail of the writing. Having been assigned readings and having discussions about the readings during class, I soon realized that writing is about an argument being made with supporting evidence.
Four content descriptors were chosen to be taught and assessed, covering all three of the English strands (language, literature and literacy) from the Australian Curriculum (ACARA, 2017a). As a cohesive unit, the four descriptors have been purposefully integrated to create an aesthetic and engaging way for students to demonstrate their learning. The assessment task aligns with the requirements of the year two syllabus and specifically addresses the learning required in the year two achievement standard (QCAA, 2015). The Year two achievement standard in the syllabus outlines that, by the end of year two students should be able to use everyday language features and topic-specific vocabulary (QCAA. 2015). Students should also be able to draw on their own experiences, imagination and information that they have previously learned to create texts (QCAA, 2015).
I’m fairly confident that I at the very least passed the test with a 3, maybe even a 4. I think that I did as well as I usually do on multiple choice, which hopefully means that I got more than half of them right, but there were more than a few questions that I had trouble with and I ended up not being very confident with my answers for them, however on the whole I think I did alright. For the essays, I spent WAY too much time on the DBQ (I went into the rhetorical analysis time in order to finish it) and I didn’t do a very good time synthesising and using the sources. I’m fairly certain that I answered the prompt thoroughly, but I relied too much on outside information and didn’t use many quotes from the sources. For the rhetorical analysis,
With the instruction given to me over the past few months, I have grown as a writer and gained confidence in my writing skills. When I
Over the course of the semester, my main goal was to become a more precise writer and develop my identity as a writer. According too, the Portfolio Letter assignment sheet, becoming a better writer consists of precise planning, draft and revising. It also includes understanding a variety of academic genres by examining the basic characteristics that defines each type. In order too efficiently meet my goal of becoming a better writer, it was very important to have my work evaluated by others and myself as well. The use of rhetorical knowledge, critical thinking, reading and writing all are the important aspects in this course.
Caleb Corkery is an Associate Professor of English who wrote “Literacy Narratives and Confidence Building in the Writing Classroom.” In his article, he discusses the positive and negative affects student writers have about writing literacy narratives. Correspondingly, in “Heroes, Rebels, and Victims: Student Identities in Literacy Narratives,” by Bronwyn Williams, who also is a professor of English, she conveys the idea that through literacy narratives, the writer can develop a sense of identity through their work. Through the comparison of Corkery and Williams’ articles about literacy narratives, and through my own literacy narrative writing experience, I do agree with these two authors’ assertions that writing these literacy narratives are
Writing has always been an issue but yet interesting subject of mine. As hard as I try and write essays, and papers I just can’t get the hang of writing. But after taking this class, I did learn different writing technique and improved my writing proficiency, material body of formatting, and how to uncovering and properly use sources. Through class exams, essays, and a research paper, I was able to learn new writing skills. Although I have learned a variety of things, my writing still needs improvement.
Writing had always been one of my strengths, but it was challenging to take that initial step past the sixth form style of writing essays. Moving past this phase has greatly opened my mind. My thoughts are now able to be more complex because I have learned how to maintain a logical argument in a structured
Major assignments -Work Projects- taught me how to write essays and include employed academic documentation (MLA). In this course, I’ve completed various reading assignments, did independent analytical thinking about what I’ve read, participate in discussions on what I’ve read, write about what I’ve read, and carry out research, this emphasis on reading was to show the importance of critical reading, and how it is going to benefit my studies.
