Essay about COMPOSITION AND THE PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN

Revisualizing Composition, by Jeff Grabill along with his fellow co-authors is a paper about a study carried across seven different universities across the United States Of America. Each university ranks differently in terms of various statistics such as enrollment, size and setting, therefore participants have different styles and approached towards writing. Following the standard survey method, a series of questions based on 30 different types of writing, were ranked in terms of popularity and value.

The 19th century characters I have chosen to renegotiate in my creative response are three of the Bennet sisters from the novel ‘Pride and Prejudice’ by Jane Austen. I have reconsidered the values of the three sisters, Mary, Lydia and Kitty and created a film script. I chose this medium as I have previously studied the technique of script writing in my Media class and I thought it would be a more unique way to convey my creative response.

Orange you glad I’m an orange? Oranges, according to various quizzes and charts, tend to be the most creative and artistic of the four personality types. When creativity comes to mind, I think of how much of an impact it has made one my life and my choices leading up to today.

Have you ever wondered whether a writer’s voice and the standard rules of academic writing can exist on the same page? According to Dr. Debra Pena, English Professor, University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) and Mathew Teorey, English Professor, University of New Mexico and the author of "Using Freshman Composition to Analyze What Students Really Know about Grammar" a writer’s voice and the process of academic writing can exist on the same page (Personal Communications February 13, 2017, Teorey 2). However, my first essay In Freshman Composition II titled, “Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE): Is it the New Death Sentence for Future Athletes Playing Sports in America?” where I lost the power of my voice to the process of academic writing.

Let's be honest, I'm not the best writer. I have had to write paper after paper for about 12 weeks. Writing isn’t my strong suit and I don't think it will ever be a strong suit of mine. During the 12 weeks of composition class, I have seen improvement in my writing. Many people don’t like writing but writing skills are needed in life. I'm a junior in high school and if I want to get scholarships for college, I'm going to need to write essays. Whether I become a plumber or a CEO I need writing skills.

In his essay, "Teach Writing as a Process not a Product," Donald Murray outlines the major difference between the traditional pedagogy that directed the teaching of writing in the past and his newly hailed model. Traditionally, Murray explains, English teachers were taught to teach and evaluate students' writing as if it was a finished product of literature when, as he has discovered, students learn better if they're taught that writing is a process. For Murray, once teachers regard writing as a process, a student-centered, or writer-centered, curriculum falls into place. Rules for writing fall by the way side as writers work at their own pace to see what works best for

The first day I walked into Freshman Composition I had the idea that everything assigned was going to be extremely frustrating and difficult, as this is a college class. Equally important, my expectations for the class was to earn at least a B, further my writing abilities, and learn more about college. As the semester started, I noticed that my writing was not at the college level and I needed to learn how to improve it. Along with improving my writing, I was also able to learn about college life. With this essay turned in and handed back, I began to realize my writing needed practice and critiquing. Furthermore, I gave myself goals to achieve in Freshman Composition, I have learned useful tools to improve my writing, and I have learned more

The majority of people in my composition class have jobs--to be exact, seventeen out of twenty-three. The three students who make up my interview group, Jessica, Michanda, and Connor, are part of that statistic. Connor is a lifeguard at Kelly Rec Center and states, "I like it because it's really easy." Jessica also enjoys her job waiting tables at Fish City Grille. When asked why she likes it, she replied, "I love talking to the old people." Jessica highlighted other reasons why she "loves" her job, such as getting half off the food, interesting coworkers, and the simplicity of it. Michanda's job as a customer service representative at Syke's requires her to talk to people too, except over the phone. Since she speaks English, French, and Creole, Michanda assists a variety of callers. French-speaking customers are her favorite because "they just want to know their account balance." Although Connor and Jessica like their jobs, Michanda doesn't care much for hers. She doesn't like dealing with angry customers who "only call to scream at you."

iest way to write a personal essay is to use the standard form taught in Composition 101: an introductory paragraph followed by three paragraphs outlining three main points and a final summary paragraph. But instead of just blathering about yourself, describe vivid scenes and what they mean to you, such as when your 2-year-old son, Jordan, solemnly declares from the bathtub “I can't swim—my penis is hard” and you tell him it's OK, it's normal, knowing it'll subside and he'll be able to swim soon, but you don't tell him that teeny little weenie he's holding will be the source of the most intense worries, sorrows, and pleasures he'll ever experience, and you wonder if you'll ever be able to tell him the truth. You could follow this thought with

A central part of Rhetoric and Composition classes is being able to understand an apply rhetorical knowledge, critical thinking and reading, the process of creating a paper, and being able to understand source formatting. Throughout this course, I’ve written new types of papers, expanded on my analytical abilities, and have gained valuable information on how to improve on papers that I’ve written in the past. My argumentation and organization have improved greatly by in-class workshops and critical, but well deserved, teacher comments. These skills are essential in writing I’ve learned and improved on many of the goals listed in the syllabus this semester, which will be necessary for my future schooling.

There are many important considerations that have to be taken in residential design for all ages of the population. The elderly population, however, has more pertinent concerns in order for them to live comfortably in their home. The elderly population is increasing, and independent living for the elderly is becoming more common (Tauke, 2009, pg. 9). Statistics Canada (2016) reports that the senior population consists of those aged 65 years or higher. They also report that the prevalence of good health, which is defined by the World Health Organization as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being,” falls with age (Statistics Canada, 2016).

Musical instruments have played many major roles in helping with the construction of many societies around the world today. Many people do not realize what musical instruments have been responsible for and how they have helped shape the world today. There have been many instruments that have helped create and sculpt the world, but one instrument that I want to inform readers about is the trumpet and where it came from, as well as how it has changed over many years. The point that I am arguing is the fact that many people do not know where the trumpet has come from and how it has affected society.

One thing that over the years I’ve become very good at is learning how to play many musical instruments. The different factors and components of this learning process include learning music theory, learning the basics of an instrument and how to apply different skills to various types of instruments such as string, brass, percussion and wind. Some of the instruments that I have learned are piano, organ, harpsichord, keyboard, guitar, bass, mandolin, trombone, cello, banjo, harmonica and soon the fiddle. Each of these different types of instruments required a different basic skill set.
