How have I improved as a writer? I am thinking about my action plan as a writer have I improved, have I met the goals I set out to achieve on my first day of class, and what have I learned in this class? I will go over my time in this class and review the various topics I mentioned above and more. Looking back over my time in this class I will critique and praise myself. How I felt about writing when I first started this class compared to how I feel now, I would have to say I am more comfortable with writing.
But since then, I have learned to conquer words and acquire different aspects of writing traits that put a positive shift on my writings. Currently, I prosper in writing challenges. I have completed various activities that have shaped me into the writer I am today, but not have always been. I came to college with good knowledge from my high school teachers, however writing in college is a drastic change that I feel I was not prepared for. The first semester of college I struggled with learning different
This has also made a better student that works faster and impoverd the qualicted of my work. My junior and Senior year I have made excentle grades and the class have been siguemlty hard too. I 've worked really hard for the grades especially in spring when I participate in Track I travel several times a week and it can be a challenge on my time so I
Progress is necessary to grow as a writer, and reflecting on my timelapse over the past ten weeks I am content with the improvement that I have made. But, it's not enough, and I acknowledge that. I need to keep improving and push myself. I refuse to allow my growth to sit still, stagnant if you will. My next goal is to work on my mindset, vocabulary and writing style.
The 2017 AP Language and Composition course was purely correlated to challenging prospering to potential readers and writers. Its evidential goal was designed to build a basis of using appropriate rhetoric devices as to make his or her idea tangible to others. Although our “particular” class was very outspoken at times, overall I do believe we know how to better communicate our insights through both writings and in speech than we did at the beginning of the year. Unlike any year of English’s class, I concur that we grew in our level of proficiency as a writer and in our progress as a critical reader. Nevertheless, personally, I would like to believe that I’m well-suited in getting an A for both effort and skill based qualifications.
My love for writing has continually driven me to become stronger in my overall writing skills, and if I am not challenged in a higher-level course, I will not continue to grow as a writer. A sense of excitement comes over me when I am challenged in English class because completing English work is an activity that I view as more than a schoolwork assignment, but as something that will substantially grow my knowledge in the world of literature. It can be said that I have the general work ethic required to succeed in an honors-level class, as well as the love for the course as a motivation to succeed and make every effort to prosper in Honors British
The history of my literacy has been a long road of a frustration and learned lessons. As a child, I was a bit of a loner so reading and writing were the closest thing to a social life for me. The things that I bottled up inside came out through my writing and it became somewhat of a pass time for me. As long I could remember literacy as has been an important value for me in my life because from very young age I got express my true self without being judged by the outside. Even though in my later years I would deal with some heartaches and set back that lead me to give up on my love for reading.
Writing process is difficult to realize since it requires a lot of skills and knowledge. Definitely, not many of us can start writhing right away without having any problems such as grammar, vocabulary or organization. However, a person can become a better writer if he or she will practice writing every day and will pay attention to his writing problems. To become a good writer, I have to improve my grammar, follow specific steps in writing process, and avoid using similar transitional words. Grammar is the number one problem in the writing process and causes me a lot of issues.
It will be nice to only have to worry about one english class for a while though. I am however, nervous that I’m going to forget the stuff that I learned in this class over the summer. I wouldn’t know what I forgot because I forgot it, but I would notice a difference in my writing and my lifestyle. I will miss the fun that we had in this class though, I did have a lot of fun in this class when I was focused and wasn’t messing around, because when I got my work done, I was allowed to lay back and take a break. This class has changed how I write tremendously, with the six word memoirs I learned that word selection is key to good writing, through the soundtrack project I learned that words put together and read a certain way can have a really powerful effect on how you feel about the topic, and from the movie project I learned that the way you present your writing is extremely
Compromises between two people are simple, but complications arise when this number increases. Affronted with this issue one afternoon during English class, we were arrayed into haphazard groups and faced with a survival dilemma: rid a survival boat of 60 lbs. of overweight supplies; and all decisions had to be unanimous. While it was an interesting activity, it didn’t impact me on an emotional effect. Without doubt, it was an entertaining and inclusive way to spend class time and develop our writing skills, although it made me feel nothing.
The way I was writing before and after has really upgraded. I would see my work before and after and now am really shocked to see how much I’ve changed. Starting from the very first days in the class doing pre-writing journals, then moving to bigger assignments like doing different essays like the Memoir and analyzing Rhetorical Analysis were a drastic change. Learning certain chapters and lessons my fellow classmates taught us really helped, for example learning
Throughout the term there has been many writing assignments —big or small— that helped reflect my writing process or the process itself. In the beginning of the course I felt like I was an “ok” writer, but lacked some skills such as: organization, sentence variety, and vocabulary. Also, I did not like to write and had a feeling of dislike when forced to write. I felt like I improved on everything I wanted and was seen throughout the semester. I know how to organize my ideas, the worksheets given in class to work on sentence variety really helped, and vocabulary was built on some level.
With the Holidays just around the corner, it is time to look back at how I have grown as a student this semester. While the transition has not felt as drastic as from 9th grade to 10th grade, I feel as if I have grown as a student a little more than in the previous years. To prove my growth these past fifteen weeks, I use a rhetorical essay, an AP mock essay, and a college field trip. In AP Language and Composition, Mr. Shoji has been working to improve our essay-writing skills through studying the types that we will encounter on the exam in May and practice of these methods. To see our progress in the class, he had us answer an essay prompt from the actual AP test from 2012.
The books, articles, pictures, and letters you read as a child have a significant effect on your entire being. These different writing styles shape as a person’s thoughts and ideas transgress as they analyze the content of the material and then accommodate it as their own perspective and attitude. Political articles can easily sway the opinion of with cases that are backed up with facts and evidence, novels can bring the reader into another world, and new articles can bring the reader updates on current events. Not all pieces of writing have to be a novel or academic thesis in order to have an impact on someone’s life; for me, a piece of writing that has influenced my life is a simple yearbook signing from my high school physics teacher,
I learned things such as the fact that I had to write better conclusions and use a better choice of diction. But it also taught me that I have always been one of the better writers in my class. This experience made me change the way I think about reading and writing because it made me realize certain aspects of my writing that need to get better. It also made me realize the aspects I was already good at. There was two distinctive writing styles that was taught in my English class.
