Improvements As A Writer And Thinker

From writing thoughtful poems to research papers, I have experienced composing a diverse portfolio of literary analysis and criticisms throughout the school year. I started out the year writing minimally. By the end of the year, I noticed I was able to express my ideas and thoughts in a more clear and concise way on paper. Ultimately, each composition allowed me to widen my horizons as a writer and see how I could improve as a writer.

So I have become a way better writer than how I ever been in my high school career. My vocabulary has extended dramatically since being in Humanities Amp. I feel that i am a better writer, I used to use run-on sentences a lot in my essays and any other form of writing. I hate using big words, i know that means you have a large vocabulary, but i don’t really care about that. I feel that I don’t need to show that, but it is good to have it. I feel that i can improve more ,but I have become a great writer.

Writing Is a kind of typing symbols, letters and other writing tools to help the writer communicate with the reader or connect his ideas. It is the fourth skill in language skills and the most one that needs creation and imagination. In this essay, I am going to write about the importance of developing writing.

The writing ability of me, Jack Consolla, has improved quite well throughout the semester. I have written almost every single type of essay and have gone into detail about them and have also gone into detailed stylistic learning about grammar uses. I feel as if I’m more ready for college and can’t wait to get the ball

A semester has passed since I started college and my journey of becoming a better writer. It has been a very important semester for my future college career, and I would not be here without the things I have accomplished. The composition program has really helped me to prepare for what college writing is all about. Now standing here and looking back I could not imagine how it would be without that class. I believe my English, and my writing is better than it has ever been, and all thanks to the composition program.

I was able to develop and strengthen my writing through the writing of all six of my essays over this semester. I was able to do this by having classmates per edit my work and then go over my essay and revise it. I was able to strengthen my writing skills by being assigned six different essays over this semester.

My vocabulary has improved due to the many words we have learned in English II and I have learned that in order to create the perfect paper, you must have many rough drafts. One of my strengths as a writer has been my editing, which helps me fix the fluidity (one of my weaknesses) of the paper. Another weakness in my writing is not brainstorming before I write. In most instances I am able to start a paper right away but then get stuck after the first or second body paragraph. However, I often fix these mistakes by having multiple peers and mentors read over my drafts. By adding this step to the process of my writing, I am able to produce a stronger paper. My goal in writing for the next year is to improve upon the structure and format of my paper. This could be easily accomplished by learning how to write SCQuIRT paragraph. In the future I hope to be able to build upon my skills as a

While attending writing class, I learned about the 4 steps in writing, bases for revising, organizing, and connecting specific information, and I also learned about the different types of essays such as descriptive, narrative, process, cause and effect and argumentative essay. I have been a student at Milwaukee Area Technical College for 1 semester, and over the course of my enrollment I have grown and learned more that I knew prior to attending this writing course. Participating in this writing class has taught me so much more than stuff about literature and language, it has taught me another way of expressing myself. I have learned here how to write and express myself, how to think for myself, and how to find the answers to the things that I don 't know. Most importantly I have learned how important technique, outlines and organization are. My goal in this paper is to inform writers about how my writing skills have improved.

I feel my writing has improved due to the help of the writing process and all the writing assignments I experienced. I was able utilized each of these components this semester. I wrote various journals and two essays, which were very challenging to me. The first essay I was asked to write, was a Narrative essay about an experience in which later I questioned my actions. At first, I was very nervous due to I have never written an essay before. I did not even know where to begin.

It has been difficult to translate my thoughts into the writing in a clear, concise method with proper grammar. My writing has improved over the semester in organization but still struggle with clarity with my choice and order of wording as well as grammar. I could see this translates in my papers as previous years I often get essay with comments that my phrasing was awkward. I felt this year with the classes in paper organization, and research has helped me develop the skills I lacked entering university. It has been a struggle learning new citation method and writing less scientifically for the occupational therapy program.

I have also realized that there are going to be many times you have to scrap ideas and start over. This semester I have realized that I try and perfect my assignments too much to where I start to crunch on time because it wasn’t to my expectation and I started over to many times, that there is in fact a way that too much thought can be put into a paper to where it becomes cluttered. The biggest growth I’ve seen over this semester is overall just my writing in general. At the beginning, my writing was very basic. My sentences were all around the same size and it was just not at the level of writing I would have liked it to be. The biggest thing that helped me with this over the semester would be just reading and editing mine as well as other peers’ papers. Towards the end of the semester it became easier to write, whether it was a personal, research, or

I honestly can say I have grown as a writer over the years. Since the semester has started I feel like I have accomplished a lot in my writings. As the semester comes to an end I find myself reflecting not only how I have improved as a writer the first semester but also what I have learned. The most important thing I have learned so far is how to

With the 100s of pages I’ve written I’ve learned a lot about myself and my writing abilities. I think I’ve grown more because of the weekly assigned pages more than I did for any of the assigned pieces I’ve written this year,The weekly five pages of writing ranged from nonsense to my deep philosophical thoughts on life. Because of the excessive journaling I’ve done, I’ve witnessed more growth in myself as a writer than I’ve ever seen. In the past, I’ve struggled with getting my thoughts on paper. My brilliant ideas weren’t ones that I could get down on the page and it

Overall I think that my most of my writing habits have improved and for the ones that have not I know what they are and what I need to do to improve them. My strengths that I already had as

Throughout the year my writing has improved overall. Specifically, my writing process and work ethic have improved. At the beginning of the year I did not trust the writing process, thus leading to me not plan out my writing. In my first essay about Chronicle of a Death Foretold I jumped directly into writing and did not plan, outline or brainstorm ideas. This lack of planning was reflected in my writing. A main problem throughout my early essays was the unclear topic and multiple ideas. As the year progressed and the essay topics got vague, I realized I needed to utilize the writing process and change how I wrote, if I wanted to see improvement. I did not change my writing process overnight. During one of the conferences with Ms. Hursh my questions were all based on the writing process and how I could improve mine, since mine did not exists. I occasionally went in the mornings or shared a Google doc with Ms. Hursh to ask questions about my essays. Frankly I did not utilize Ms. Hursh in the mornings as much as I should have. I improved by utilizing the materials Ms. Hursh gave the class, such as the reverse outline. Yet I still struggled with my writing and making it clear, concise and with only one topic, like in the Macbeth essay. I was omitting a crucial part in the writing process, brainstorming. While in the middle of the year I did complete outlines of my essays and worked on it over a period of time I had yet to ever brainstorm about a topic before jumping in. I
