Importance Of Writing A Writing Placement Assignment
After reading the prompt, I have a better understanding about what a writing placement assignment consists of. I find that I have a hard time to think critically about something I am reading. I find that I want to summarize what I am reading, rather than write a rhetorical strategy. I have definitely learned so much from reading the website on writing placement assignments. The part I think is going to be the most difficult is thinking deeper about the writing, getting my ideas out of my head and onto the paper. I know that if I take the time while reading the prompt carefully, and while I am reading to take time to understand the writing. To make sure I make an outline or a mapping to help focus my thoughts, to move them from my head to my paper. I know this is the most difficult for me and will be the most important step in writing a great …show more content…
I think the first step to preparing for a timed composition is just knowing all the different steps to understanding the timed composition, like know how to organize for the time allowed for the writing and making sure to brainstorm my thoughts before I even begin to

    Essay On Rhetorical Reading

    Well, I can now say after reading last week's article by Hass and Flower and this weeks Penrose and Geisler's which was about how important rhetorical reading is and can help understand what you are reading, has opened my eyes to that fact that these are only part of why I have trouble with writing. As I reflect on past writing assignments, I now see it could have been due to my lack of experiences within certain rhetorical situations. Now that I have advanced my education and have gained additional experience on how to approach writing differently, my style of writing seems to flow better, and has become less intimidating. Which has lead to fewer sentence fragments; consistent grammar and being less critical, this has helped me, become a more knowledgeable writer. I can now say I am more like Roger and less like Janet because I now can connect the texts I am reading with real world events or things that have happened within my own life. Ultimately, I have now found that being a more experienced student has helped me improve how to read between the lines and not read just to paraphrase, it has also helped me write a better structured, more comprehensive, and well-organized essay using better examples. The important part of these readings…

    A Rhetorical Analysis Of The Dakota Access Pipeline

    At the beginning of the course we wrote a personal profile, where we introduced ourselves to our classmates and instructor, in it we included some things like the place where we were raised, important influences in our lives, and our dream job. As well, we introduced a topic that we would be interested in structuring and writing an argumentative paper about, I chose the Dakota access pipeline. It was a controversial topic throughout the world and it drew my interest to intellectually challenge the opposing side, along with several other popular debate topics. Unfortunately, I procrastinated throughout the entire course, because writing has never been my strongest suite. I did that because I over thought every single assignment because I was never certain if I was on the right track. Afterwards, we did a “Says Does Analysis” assignment, we had the opportunity to choose an article from the New York Times editorial. We had to determine what the author was trying to do and say, when writing his or her article. Doing this assignment, helped me evaluate my writing more in-depth, and expand upon what I was discussing.…

    Paragraph Writting

    Today I am going to discuss the steps I take to write a paragraph. Before I do anything, I make sure I have a quiet area to work in and a clear mind so my writing process begins smoothly. I sit in front of my laptop and begin writing what I would like to talk about, which is called discovering and brainstorming. Then after I have done that I start narrowing down what I want to write about such as: Topic sentence and supportive details. After this, I usually go on to compose a rough draft pretty quickly. By drafting what I have written, It allows me to take out the things that strike me as worth keeping or not. Then after I have done that I revise the draft by rearranging ideas and reshaping sentences to make clearer connections. Carefully after examining the paper to see that it contains any errors of grammar, spelling, or punctuation for the last time I write a final paper. In conclusion, the four stages of writing like discovering, drafting, revising, editing and proofreading has help me and guided me to write effectively.…

    Reflective Essay Rethinks Solitary Refinement

    Over the course of the past three months, I have had the distinct pleasure of testing my writing capabilities through the Introduction to College Writing course. I have always had a passion for writing in all forms, but in previous years, the course work in grade-level English classes have been unchallenging of my writing ability. I have been heavily involved in Bonneville High School’s newspaper through journalism since my freshman year. This allowed me to strengthen my writing capability as I was drafting throughout the entire school year. I have never truly had to apply myself until I enrolled in English 101. Since the beginning of the class, I have faced various hardships while writing essays in unfamiliar styles, such as drafting a response to a scholarly article and synthesizing opposing perspectives. I have learned that I am more than capable in writing in different styles and that all of my work will be quality content regardless of the topic. I overcame the obstacles that have challenged me, and my essays exhibit that I am fully prepared to continue my work in English 102.…

    My Wiriting Process

    Writing, something that has never befriended me, will always be an obstacle in my life. For me, it’s difficult to just sit down at a table and write something interesting and creative. I try to do so every time I am assigned a essay, and sometimes it turns out to be successful, but most of the time it is unsuccessful. Every time I am given a written assignment, I go through the same routine: I sit at the table and stare at my computer with my fingers on the keyboard. I have noticed that I come up with a lot of ideas, but I focus mainly on how to structure them while writing. In three articles written by Anna Lomott, Marie Foley and Donald M. Murray, they all discuss different strategies on how to draft, structure and revise an essay. They all have taught me a better way on how to make my writing strategy more successful in college than it was before.…

    Struggle of Writing

    Over the years, writing went from being a process to becoming a series of many processes. Brainstorming, drafting, revising are just some of the events that take place in writing. Finding a flow for words can be a greater challenge. Words do not write themselves. Since writing is never an easy process, the first thing I want is a plan. The more disorganized a paper becomes the harder it is to fix. Before I start writing, I read the topic several times to get a complete understanding of what I should be writing. I need to think about the topic before I start writing ideas and quotes down on paper. In order to stimulate my thoughts, I may not start writing until hours later. By doing this, my brain has time to process my thoughts throughout the day; ideas may formulate faster. Webs or outlines become frustrating, so those are usually avoided. I like to pour out all of the words that are on my mind and write them on paper. Without good ideas, an essay will get nowhere. In my writing, I may choose to go one path or many paths. Normally, I choose the path that requires the less amount of effort since time is usually against me. This time is different though. I want to evolve as a writer since writing does not come naturally; it is a process that is learned over time with lots of effort (Knoll 5). It is impossible to know the end product of an essay, but this is why the writing process is a mystery. Regardless of the reason one writes, one must allow their creativity to be explored to allow their writing to develop.…

    Reflecting on My Writing

    Before completing my English class, I tried to make my writing seem perfect with one effort. I wasted time and stress over my work. During this past semester, my instructor taught me that rough copies of writing are best. I began outlining and taking smaller steps in my writing process. My mind felt more refreshed, and I was able to think more clearly about how I wanted to present my work. In one of my first papers, “Dreams in Flight,” I even took the time to test different subjects to write about in a memoir. Viewing topics from different perspectives also helped me to become a true writer. While writing my advertisement analysis, “Health Is Where Campbell’s Heart Is,” I had to look through the eyes of a company and a consumer. This tactic taught me to broaden my own perspective before drawing conclusions in my writing. At the same time, I also learned that a good writer must be able to defend his or her opinion. I used to be afraid to voice my opinion through writing. I would worry about what my readers would think. When my instructor assigned an argumentative essay, I knew I would be challenged. I decided to choose a topic I felt strongly about, the New York City soda ban, and found statistics and facts to defend my opinion. I discovered how to control my thoughts through this assignment. I learned that writers have to show feeling to attract readers.…

    My Writing Advice

    Everyone has a different way of approaching their writing, whether it be for an English 102 class, a newspaper or even for a book. John Schwartz was able to visit our class and talk to us about his writing process, answer our questions and simultaneously give us advice to help us with our writing. Writing advice strikes every individual as a different chord. What may be a strong chord for me, might be a weak chord for another. Some of Schwartz’s ideologies and advice really allowed me to evaluate my writing process and see the faults within it; and all it needed was some glue to mend it to display the full picture. So this is a breakdown of how to write a paper effectively, using the advice John gave us and how I plan on using it.…
