My Thesis Statement

640 Words3 Pages

My first writing assignment in composition one did not go too well. Writing used to come easy to me. I would be able to write a paper in one night and manage to get a good grade. But I knew college writing would be more difficult, but not this difficult. I am starting to make more time on my papers and it is taking me more than one night to complete writing assignments for my classes. But this assignment has made realize that I have a lot I need to improve on for this class. I now have more weaknesses than I thought. Some of the strengths that I had pointed out in my preliminary writing, I still have. For the remainder of this semester I hope to keep having strong introductions, improve on commas and comma splices, and to improve on adding transition words. …show more content…

I did not know I was good at introductions, there was a comment on my writing assignment that I did a nice job on my introduction. The other strength that I did not know I had was having a clear thesis statement in my writing assignment. My thesis statement was “He has not only inspired me but has been my life teacher, best friend, and teacher. “I have always had a problem with constructing a strong, clear thesis statement. In the papers I would write in high school I would never place my thesis statement in the right place. The last strength that was recognized on my paper was my MLA format. I had done the MLA format correctly and before I would have trouble remembering everything that you have to for the MLA format. But the template on Moodle really helped when constructing the format for my

Going into this class, I expected to just receive a high grade; however, I gained many more things. I was able to identify things I still struggle with in my writing. Tone and writing to my audience is the main skill I needed improvement on. On the first assignment, the personal narrative, I struggled in making the audience feel my story instead of just hearing it. Although I received feedback about my lack of tone from my peers and Professor Cindy, I did not put it into full consideration as my individualist writing mentality from high school carried over into college.

I chose this writing assignment because I did not successfully address the prompt, and I feel like it is important I understand what really was being asked for this assignment. At first I was really overwhelmed because it was the first assignment and the process was confusing to me somehow at that time. When it came to rewriting, I re-read the prompt, notes, process done, and comments to see where I did not follow the process. I went back to change my arguments more into how this affects the audience. For strengths, my evidence is still strong, but as a weakness I still not a hundred percent sure it flows well.

In the future, I hope to teach English to ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelve grade students. I understand that I will have students that have many different cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and I also understand that they will all respond to their successes and failures very differently. I want to be aware of the differences in the way the students achieve motivation and recognize a sense of self-worth, a sense of autonomy, address the need for relatedness, implement values and goals, and have attributions. One particular example of addressing motivation takes place within a tenth grade classroom. If I am teaching a lesson about how to create a thesis statement and the students are required to complete a worksheet for credit, many of my students

A. “Research and studies have shown television has an overwhelming amount of power played upon people, but not all of its influence is bad.” This seemed to be the thesis statement for this paper. If I restated the thesis, I would say this: It has been shown that television can impact people’s lives, however, this impact is not always bad. The statement is definitely focused on informing the audience about the importance of the controversy being addressed. The thesis statement is not biased at all.

Even though I passed both Beginning English and Intermediate English with high grades, English for me is rather hard to comprehend because I can’t remember all the rules that are associated with it. Both of my English classes where online and I found them to be hard since I simply read what was assigned to me, did my work and wait for feedback from my teacher; however, I couldn’t fully understand why I was receiving the feedback, if I didn’t understand the rules. I recall making an A in Beginning English and having a high B in Intermediate English. One of my weak points in English is developing a thesis statement, I can’t develop them to express my points or thoughts.

This class has helped me greatly improve my writing skills in a variety of ways. I have learned multiple things by taking this class, such as new ways to approach writing and that there is much that I still need to learn about composition.
