Reflection About Writing And Reading

One of the only thing I really didn’t like about the course was the use of the textbook because I felt that a lot of the information in it was pretty general information that most college freshmen should already know. I did like that there wasn’t a huge amount of pressure put onto our use of the text book though, so that it wasn’t going to be detrimental to our grade if we missed a reading assignment here or there. Also, I liked that most of the days after we had a reading we would split into groups to discuss the reading so that if there was something that we didn’t understand it could be explained to us by one of the other students in the class. I felt that the powerpoints and presentations could have replaced a lot of the text book because they were much more clear and right to the point, it didn’t have any useless filler like I felt the textbook had.

Throughout the semester, I have noticed a great improvement in my writing. In the beginning of the year, I struggled with understanding how to use APA since this is the first class I have taken that uses APA. The most difficult part about APA is the reference page and in text citation. To get a better understanding of how to write a reference page and use in text citations, I would use websites such as Purdue Owl and at times I would also use Youtube. Another skill I developed is learning how to use Logos, Pathos, and Ethos in my writing. Because of this skill, I was able to not only use it for English 102, but also for my Creative Writing 101 class.

I have been practicing on how to improve my writing over the past few weeks, which has taught me a great deal about writing. My teacher would like me to evaluate and explain my strengths and weaknesses in my own writing. This evaluation is in between my two essays. One on my own and another with my teacher's help. I have strengths and weakness in my introduction, body paragraphs ,and my conclusion.

When I look back at my writing before having any college experience, I can see that I had a lot to work on. I can say that I was never really a big fan of writing anything much less essays. Even when I was younger, I just did not have a great big interest in writing. This was because I felt that I could not elaborate as well as others. I was not use to having to write anything really, but I now feel that I have a better grasp on the steps that I need to take to get my writing on the level that it needs to be.

Writing is an important form of communication. It is a personal process that portrays your thoughts and views to someone else. It is not only an important skill to have for school work and certain professions, but daily messages such as emails, texts, and tweets as well. It can have a big impact on how you come across to certain people. Because of this, it is very important for me to practice writing. I believe that this course has improved my writing, which will help me in many ways in the future.

Throughout high school, I was regularly told that writing was not my strongest skill. My teachers would constantly “shoot down” my writing because it was never “good enough,” except I never understood what that truly meant. However, this class helped me realize that my writing has “potential for greatness,” but it just requires some more time, thought, and clarification.

Looking ahead into English 101, I want to learn more about the concepts of different writing’s,

Over the course of this year I have had the opportunity to use all of the writing techniques that we have learned in class this year during my assignments. But when going back through and reflecting on my works I have had many different chances to incorporate them in but had missed my opportunity. During the beginning of the year I worked as quickly as I could to finish assignments and was barely able to turn them in on time. This was a huge problem for me because I was not able to fully understand every writing strategy and when and where to use them. However as the year progressed I was able to budget more time for completing my homework so I could incorporate these new strategies that we learned during class into my assignments. Over the course of this reflection I will talk about certain assignments that I could have improved with different techniques and then show how I did.

Throughout this course, writing 101, I have learned how to improve my writing in many aspects. This course has taught me the correct ways to write a college essay and has helped me get out of old habits that I got away with in high school. When I first found out that we were required to take a writing class I was nervous because I am not the bets writer. For the class, we were required to write down a list of goals that we would work towards through the class to help improve in writing. For me there was a lot I could have worked on so I made sure I wrote out goals that I would stick to in order to get a good foundation in writing at the college level. My main outcomes for this course where that I needed to do my essays at least a week

I feel as though I have always been good at writing, if not writing itself but the writing process. My first real writing assignment was in 8th grade when I did a research paper on comics. I had the freedom to talk about what I wanted and could use a multitude of sources. Looking back, I do not know how good it was but I put a lot of interest and time into the paper. My next real paper was not until my junior year where we had to write a junior paper. This was a research paper and my topic was “Internet Censorship”. I like this because it was a topic I was interested in and it was a fun paper to write. I was basically just explain to my audience what I had learned and was teaching them in my paper. It was like getting to write an

I have been through a lot of difficulties in life; but the most frustrated for me have been learning English. As a college student I have to read and write a lot. I’m taking English composition I class a course that is helping me to deal with my challenges as an English learner college student. In which I am learning academically and about myself. English 101 have been a bridge for me to realized how good I am writing. I did three essays that I was impressed with myself and realized how much I have improve as a college writer student in this class. Reading is an important part of English composition class in which I learned that I am not good at reading. I have to read a book named The Pearl that Broke its Shell. We were supposed to read 10 chapters per week; while I was reading the book, I found part where I didn’t understand, and I wasn’t able to complete the reading. While we were reading the book, we had to do double entries. A double entry journal is a two-column journal that has quotes from the text on the left and an individual’s responses on the right. We have to read the book and take out direct quotes from the book and them explained the quotes. I did good writing the responses, but there were times when I didn’t understand the book. However, reading and writing are the most important component for English composition I; by reading and writing I learned my strengths and weakness in writing and reading. I considered that writing is one of my

Writing is essential in the everyday human life and everyone is different when it comes down to writing. I enjoy writing personally I like writing about things I love doing such as playing soccer and gaming. When I find the right words to write to express something I feel like a genius. Writing has never been my forte. I have not written many essays in the past but I continued writing so I can learn from my mistakes and become a better writer. The hardest thing for me is to write about something that I am unfamiliar with, that causes me to procrastinate. In this paper I will be writing about my writing process with my three past essays individually. Writing has shaped me into a more intellectual individual and I would encourage anyone to always improve their writing skills.

At this point in the semester I do not really feel any different than in the beginning. For the most part my writing has stayed the same as when I first started. The biggest change I have experienced in my writing is my ability to organize more effectively and to manage my time better. Although my writing has not changed increasingly, some parts of the writing process has been improved such as organization and time management.

By repeating the English class, the lecture helped me learn about reading and helped me throughout my writing experience. The lecture was a helpful tool for me to learn and improve my skills because even the smallest things count when you are writing. The most important part about writing is that you always have to keep your audience in mind, make sure

Reading and writing were never strong suits in life, and continues to be until today. I have tried to improve my skills over the years, and in the process of doing so, has led me to enjoy the art on this topic. After many years of school and getting to understand myself more I came to a realization. Due to the great academic opportunities that my parents offered me, I was able to find what made me want to go to school and work hard in life. I was able to find the passion of learning and writing and realized it was what I wanted to carry out into the world and in my future. My journey in finding my passion was difficult but taught me many lessons. After years of experience in english I attained that reading and writing it could lead to success throughout all courses and is a crucial component in being well rounded and an educated person.
