Importance Of Writing On Communication

In the article “Helping Students Use Textual Sources Persuasively,” Kantz explained to students as they write, how to use current texts to build a new original one. She argues that many undergraduate students cannot perform this idea correctly, because as they write they never had the opportunity to get taught to examine and synthesize a piece of writing correctly. Students need to understand how to view facts as claims, or view writing as a serial of creative ideas and drafts that drive to a final distinctive piece of work. In this article Kantz described how students think as they are writing, she used personal experiences, introduces “rhetorical situation,” and used

Writing is a form of communicational practice that grants the writer the ability to provoke conversation. Communication is the way that we are able to voice our ideas,” I wanted my students to find a way to talk back to those other writers.” (426 Sommers) Sommers wants her students to be able to develop the skills to debate and to not accept the social norm. She wants her students to be able to think on their own without others thinking for them,” Borrowing words from authorities had left me without any words of my own.” (423 Sommers) Being

In her essay “Does Texting Affect Writing?”, presented on April 18th, 2010, Michaela Cullington describes the use of texting and how it effects peoples writing. With the suppressing matter in consideration of technology has had a mass effect on human society. Texting has the ability to send information within a short period of time. Using texting, communication has been a problem with talking face-to-face. There is a concern of absence with using full text of words and seems to be a continuous predicament and could potentially hurt the face of the English language altogether. The transition from face-to-face communication is a lost art with the advances with texting. Cullington provides factual evidence to support her claims to express the

“The goal in writing “They Say” has always been to offer students a user friendly model of writing that will help them put into practice the important principle that writing is a social activity.” (xv).

From the beginning when humans developed the written word, novel forms of technology in all of its forms, have been hailed as potential saviors of our society or as the harbinger of its downfall. Modern communication methods such as texting, tweeting, IM’ing, and other forms of digital interaction have been credited as a new wave in learning techniques or as the end of verbal exchange and intelligence in today’s youth. Various authors have offered their opinions either for or against nonverbal digital dialog backed by differing amounts of personal and structured research. In the essay “No Need to Call”, originally published in the book Alone Together author Sherry Turkle, program director at MIT, Turkle discusses how new forms of digital communication may be robbing society of the ability and art of vocal communication in person and on the telephone. Turkle offers in her essay, examples of how individuals avoid the use of telephone technology and the reasoning behind their choices. Michaela Cullington graduated with a Master’s Degree in speech and language pathology offers in her essay, “Does Texting Affect Writing” that the abbreviated way we write in our texts has had little effect on our ability to create a formal piece of intelligent writing despite public fears that it will be the downfall of the written word. Digital communication methods can harbor many other pitfalls that must be navigated by today’s society. Our society’s love/hate

Writing is a part of our everyday lives and will be part of your future career. How will you be using writing and the skills learned in this course within your chosen field and profession? People don’t believe that writing is part of their everyday life, as the same thought has been applied to mathematics. When taking a writing course, it's more evident that writing is an essential part of life. I was one that never really thought of writing as a skill I need for my career. I’ve been learning the importance of writing in my English class. I’ve found it not to be so easy for me as I struggled with it growing up. But I feel that I’m applying myself right now to learn as much as I can to be able to utilize this skill in my profession.

Technology nowadays exists everywhere. It is in cars, in classrooms, and at home. Because of the increase in technology, interactions have slowly changed. The way people talk to each other is completely different when they are sending shortened text messages such as BRB, g2g, and ttyl. Technology also distracts drivers on roads because of the notifications that are constantly popping up on their phone screens. However, technology isn’t all bad. Technology has affected writing in a more positive way as it makes its users feel more relaxed, encourages writing for pleasure, and helps improve

We have come full circle in forms of communication. From “cave man” grunts, body and hand gestures, and pictographic wall paintings, to “cubicle man” lols (laugh-out-loud), ttyls (talk-to-you-later), and smiley face emoticons, we are regressing to an earlier form of interactions. The expressive and communicative richness of writing is slowly becoming the archeological relics of an electronic modern society. I am no stranger to this failing. I started high school with a loose grasp of the tools of writing; I left high school with a, slightly, better grasp of those tools. Now, as my high school years fall farther behind me, and the academic language of writing erodes, the loose grasp of writing skills I had is becoming far looser. My writing

I’ve always loved to write. Something about creating a new world that people could just get lost in is so fulfilling. I’d find whoever I could to read my work and praise me. It’s baffling thinking that stories and pieces of writing are all just words. Words put together with capitalization, punctuation, and style. The kicker is how those words are put together though. Words put together poorly can be incomprehensible. But, words put together just right can spark interest, thought, and amazement. When I recognize a great book or even a great sentence, I appreciate how well it is put together and soak up as much knowledge as possible to better my own writing.

Writing is fundamental. It is a great aspect of life. Though not everyone is fond of writing and if they are that’s good for them. If you were to ask me to write a paper I guarantee you it won’t get done and if it does it’s not good. As you can tell I don’t have a passion for writing and unfortunately for me, it’s required to write a long essay for school English courses. Now you can imagine how difficult that must be for me if you’re in the same boat as I am. Atop taking an eight-week writing course bloody hell did I have some long rough sleepless nights and oh yes, I did want to cry and say freak this as well as give up. However, throughout this eight-week course I learn so much about my writing and have gained a better comprehension of

I have had you as a teacher for two years so far, and I am about to have you for another semester. So while you may know much about me, I guarantee there is much you do not. As a writer, I have usually been successful, and I say that not to brag but to preface an experience of mine that I cover later in the letter. Anyways, I have achieved success not only in the classroom but also in competitions, such as the Lovejoy Writing Contest. As you know, poetry is a literary form that I hold near to my heart because it is a raw form of self-expression that encompasses many emotions: joy, grief, triumph, and defeat. Throughout my life I have never found a vent for self-expression quite like poetry. And it helps. When the weight of the world pushes so hard against you that everyone and everything seems to be against you, poetry provides an escape for raw, uncut, unfiltered human emotion.

As a writer, I was strong for my grade throughout junior high. Teachers would always say how my writing flowed beautifully and sounded just right. Unfortunately, as the years went on subjects got harder and I shifted my priorities from writing to things such as science labs and math equations. Writing became more difficult for me and I stopped making the time for it. Once earning A’s and B’s now I was just barely skimming by with low C’s and occasionally high D’s. Grammar became increasingly hard for I started messing up on smile commas and punctuation in general. Sentences started to become harder to form as the passion to write was no longer there. Since I’ve been in college I’ve realized how important English and writing is and how I need to start relearning and growing inn my ability to write again. The things I would like to see myself grow in as a writer would be: properly used punctuation, less grammatical errors, and writing with a passion for what I’m relaying to the reader.

Writing 100 has taught 6 important outcomes to know while writing. Three of these key factors are subject matter knowledge, writing process knowledge, and rhetorical knowledge. Subject matter knowledge is important to know while writing to make sure you understand what you are writing about. Another important aspect while writing is the writing process knowledge, to have instructor and peer-review while writing is vital in catching mistakes while writing. It is necessary to be aware of rhetorical knowledge while writing, in order for the audience to understand the writing the writer must know the audience. Subject matter knowledge, writing process knowledge, and rhetorical knowledge are three key factors to know while writing.

Writing is more complex than the naked eye can understand. Over thousands of years, writing has evolved, people have created their own styles, and many, many rules have been created. Through reading such as Verlyn Klinkenborg’s, “Several short sentences about writing’, along with Paul Graham’s, “The Age of the Essay”, the reader is taught to ‘notice what you notice’. The main message of these texts were to focus my mind on avoiding all the rules taught during high school, and to rather write well-thought out sentences that can be short but precise. Short sentences get the point across quicker and straight to the point. Klinkenborg strives to get across to the reader that sentences should be reworked, rethought, and possibly even thrown into the sentence graveyard before it is ever written onto paper. This can be seen when he says that, “Most of the sentences you make will need to be killed.” (Klinkenborg, 13). Sentences shouldn’t be meaningless strings of words combined into a prolonged statement called a sentence, but rather should act as a description of something one notices. Both authors get the point across that all pieces of work that were merely forced are easily distinguishable from those that are well-thought out and well-versed through effort and time.

In the essay below I will be explaining how English composition and writing has really been a huge advantage to me.I will also be explaining how I use to think I was a fantastic writer until I got to college. The paragraph below goes into depth about how as I progressed into each grade my essays improved and how I came into college cocky and ended up starting from the bottom again.
