November 22, 1963 will always be a day to remember. President John F. Kennedy was riding in a motorcade in Dallas Texas. Where he was shot twice, one in the back of the neck and the other hit him on the bottom right side of his head. The governor of Texas JOhn Connally was also struck by one of the bullets in the chest but he recovered from his injuries. The shooting took place at 12:30 and about 30 minutes after he was pronounced dead at the Park Memorial Hospital.
My Experience in WRIT 101 Imagine, you are halfway done with your last and final high school English class and realize you have never really understood the point of English class until now. In all my previous English classes I was so lost and never really understood anything my teachers taught me. I was always so anxious and nervous because I was afraid that everyone else would think I was dumb since I did not understand and know as much as them. WRIT 101 has changed that and now my grade in this class is the best it has ever been in an English class thanks to Mrs. Schlauch. Over the semester, I have grown and developed as a writer, demonstrated awareness of rhetorical situations in my own writing and applied the skills and practice I have
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.
My writing style and preference was represented in many different class assignments throughout the year. In these, I saw that I wrote in a more creative and stylistic aspect compared to the standard essay format. While there were many flaws in each piece of work, I’m currently most proud of my use of symbolism, allusions, and the dramatic effect I used in the assignments. They all contribute to the overall style of my writing, for I write with the intention of embedding emotions and symbolic messages within the text. For that reason, I most enjoyed writing the feature article, as I am considerably passionate about topics relating to conformity, and I had a lot of freedom while writing it; human emotions and psychology always interest me in
Jesika Anderson WR 121 My personal writing style is generally very casual; my brainstorming process really only includes getting any ideas (if any) I need to further a topic or to flesh it out beyond what it began as. As with brainstorming, my drafting is minimal and almost never done in longhand, my ideas flow faster than I can write them out, so I almost always need to type which I can do at a much faster (and legible) rate. I write, and then edit the process from there, going through two or three edits before a final piece is produced. Research happens while I write or while I brainstorm. Either because I need to confirm the idea is interesting during brainstorming or I need to confirm/cite during writing.
This ISU has allowed me to explore my writing style in more depth than I ever have before. I’ve learned so much about not only how I write, but also who I am as a writer. I decided to make each of my profile pieces a different form of writing because I wanted to demonstrate all aspects of my style. In my more creative pieces, such as my short story and poems, I used a lot of imagery, similes and metaphors in order to create a vivid picture in the readers mind. This was in contrast to the rest of my pieces, in which I used more personal stylistic elements that conveyed my inner thoughts.
I never considered myself as a strong writer. I was ashamed to share my writings with others because I was scared to show my poor writing skills. I feared that people will judge me for not knowing how to construct my sentences. Instead of finding the solution, I blamed my language background. I saw my language background as a barrier that stopped me from improving.
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.
I have always found writing hard but now I enjoy it more. I 'm not going to lie and say that it 's easy for me because it 's hard. I get lost with my thoughts a lot. What I say sounds way better then when I put it down on a paper. I have been wanting to write a small book of something.
One of my experience of writing is “I am a writer “. Growing up I liked math and science and I got lost in social studies and English. As I grew up I see it’s important and good to having writing in your life. I like to write now I journal every day and writing help me to express how I feel and what’s on my mind.
ENG-122 Reflective Essay My writing process has changed tremendously over the course of this class. I feel more accomplished, confident and I feel sometimes that my ideas and thoughts just come in to my mind out of nowhere and I start writing about anything now. I pay attention to my punctuation and grammar more as I have polished them more now, not only when I write but then others write as well. I am constantly looking for errors and I highly think this is helping me a lot in my career.
Writing essays and other types of posts has always been difficult for me. But, throughout this composition class, I have learned many interesting and new things about the different types of writing styles. When starting this class, I considered myself to be an average writer with run-of-the-mill vocabulary, ordinary sentence structure and typical finished products. 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.
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.
I’ve grown as a student of English this term. I worked on several things including my weaknesses, what i struggle with on a daily basis and even my strengths. Doing this has helped me become a better reader, writer, thinker and a better person. I’ve also use the resources available, like going to tutoring and asking for help when i still feel stuck on something. Going for help is much better than trying to figure out for myself what i needed to work on.
What does writing mean to me? Writing means getting people engaged in your piece. It means people wanting to keep reading what you wrote. The biggest thing about writing to me is expressing your thoughts and letting your mind go. Using good word choice and having a strong voice in the writing is something that makes it good.
