Importance Of Reading And Writing

My literacy narrative titled, “Affinity for Reading”, helped me analyze and assess how I really felt about writing. Reading through my literacy narrative, I see how far I have grown in my grammar and mechanics and formatting. I remember after I turned the assignment in that I forgot to change the font to Times New Roman. I thought I was going to fail based on that formatting error. While I was fleshing out my ideas for the assignment, I sat down at Starbucks and just wrote any and all memories of reading and writing that I had. It was not incredibly efficient, however, I learned how to create more structured outlines as the course went on. In addition, I also learned to triple check basic formatting for each essay to ensure that each essay was as accurate as possible.

Writing is taken for granted nowadays. Thus, people don't take in consideration how lucky they are to be able to read and write. I can still vividly remember how when I was very young I used to get extremely angry for not being able to read the newspaper that my grandfather used to carry around. For that reason, there is a lot of importance to reading and writing, and I'm glad that throughout this year I was able to grow as a writer.

Writing Future & Goals: What writing goals do you have for yourself? Why are these goals important to you? How do you plan to meet these goals? What challenges do you expect to face in your upper division writing work? What is your plan for overcoming these

Writing is a selfish act. The first goal for writing is to better yourself, the writer who is wrestling with their emotions, life and thoughts. Reading and writing are dependent on each other. Writers are inspired by what they have read, and they think of their own lives and build upon their influences. Every writer must read, in order to gain knowledge of what is inspirational for themselves and others, “ You learn to write by reading and writing,, writing and reading. As a craft it’s acquired through the apprentice system, but you choose your own teachers. Sometimes they’re alive, sometimes they are dead,” (Atwood, Pg.201). This statement is well

In order for her to become an even better student, Sydney’s goal in English this year is to comprehend the text given to her, so she can get higher grades on tests and quizzes. Her writing goal is to work on her transitions, to make her sentences and paragraphs flow into one successful piece.

Reading better authors than myself makes my shortcomings in the field very obvious, but I spent so much time writing mediocre B plus material that it becomes very easy to slip into bad habits. The biggest goal I have for writing is to use imagery more effectively, while keeping to shorter sentences that don't drag on forever. The second biggest goal I have is to reduce the amount of commas that I use when writing. There are certainly worse problems to have in terms of writing, but it just annoys me to no end and I would really like to address it. The third goal I have is to get better at writing narratives, and in some ways, surpasses the first two. I have a lot of stories that I've been itching to write down, some fiction, some not, but whenever I try to write them, but, aside from a few vivid details and the occasional good simile, it barely resembles the story I remember. For most of the problems I have, proof reading is by far the most important thing I have for improving my writing prowess. Luckily, I have a few family members that can offer insight that the writing center cannot and they've helped me countless times in this endeavor. As far as the narratives go, practice makes it better and repetition makes it perfect. Write the story, reread, find what doesn't live up to the spectacular movie in my head and mumble in frustration until I think of something

This year has been a blast! There were so many things that just cried out me, and the projects were so much fun! I know I have grown as a writer by starting to have less and less edits on my paper. Making my blog helped me grow as a writer because it made me want to work harder. I wanted to work harder because I knew people would see my work. Sacred writing time has helped me grow as a writer because the time was helpful in the sense that I got some of my best ideas in just 5 minutes. Mrs. Lockwood has been a huge influence on my writing ability. Her instruction helped me grow by fixing my errors. I made many grammatical and punctual errors, that is, before I started no red ink. No red ink helped me to eliminate those errors. I usually don't

This semester we have done many activities/sessions that have really helped me grow as a reader, writer, and as a learner in general. We have done everything from writing a literary essay, to learning how to write with argumentative purposes.

Since a young age, I loved to read books and create stories. I recall a time when I could not read a particularly challenging book in my preschool age, so I made up the story myself. I feel that I am most content when I am at a keyboard, typing out an essay, or when I have a pen in my hand, scribbling out a plot line. I learned that, with my obvious love for writing, I wanted to put it to use and become a journalist. Being able to write is my salvation and allows me to have emotional validation, especially if there is something particularly interesting to write about. Being able to write creatively and structurally has been there for me whenever I was at my highest points or lowest points. Words are my medium in which expression is possible and using that, I dream of becoming a world class journalist.

The goals i feel like is a more variety of a vocabulary list. I think i can become a stronger writing. I want people to know that i am a amazing writer and not just a normal writer. To students in the future that will be having these assignments,

I plan to become better by practicing my writing everyday, whether it be a blog post, short story or essay.

Since the start of my freshman year I see my writing skills accelerating to my goal at the end of this year. Overall, I’ve been working hard to get to that goal and achieve of being in the 10th grade level by the end of this year. In the long run, I need to keep working hard to proceed to that goal. Perhaps, I’ve learned tremendous amount of things that helps me in my writing and in my reading. Some examples are spelling, defining words, and revising the text. Although, during the second quarter, I have been falling behind on my homework but made it up with doing achieve’s every day we were assigned to and more to get my grade steady at an A. To sum it up, I believe that I can reach these goals before the end of the year and have sense of hope

It’s the new year; a time where everyone comes together to celebrate the new upcoming year. Every year, we all make goals. “New year, new me” as they say. Personally, I don’t make a new years’ resolution. I just eat dinner, go to bed, and expect the sun to rise in the morning. But for the sake of my report and my failing grades I’ll start 3 goals, my first goal is for my heart; exercising. The second goal is to improve my writing skills. For my final goal, work harder and get my grades back up. These are the goals I plan to do. Let me give you a bit more detail.

My journey through reading and writing started once I started school. I don’t remember the early years but they laid down a foundation for me. It got me to where I am today. I love reading for pleasure but I want to be more open to different types of genres. I’m not the best writer but I try my best to write well. I have a strong approach to writing an essay but when it comes to actually writing, I don’t feel too confident. I hope that this year will help me become a better reader and writer.

Reading and writing are both important; you can’t have one without the other. They are skills that are increased constantly due to little things that most times are not noticed. Whether it is from a book to a poem, there will always be a way that it helps out your school performance. Reading and writing in general only helps absorb information, and enhance leisure or school related writing tasks. It has also made life itself so much easier because reading and writing are so beneficial for school and for life. How much you read and write today, will somehow affect your future job, family, position, or even your salary.
