Multiple Explanations Behind Writing Proficiency

First, the part of the brain that is responsible for higher forms of thought such as language, the broca’s area which pertains to the production of speech, located in the frontal lobe, is much needed for communication with my friends. When I first seen my friends it was the broca’s area that allowed me to speak smoothly and fluently to them, and as we sat around the table together eating pizza and playing cards it was this part of the brain that indorsed my friends and I to socialize as it helps everyone talk to one another. The Wernicke’s area that is affiliated with the broca’s area is the part of the brain that helps understand the meaning of words.

In the last chapter we read about literary sponsors so I am going to start there then go into my analysis of a writing experience. Literacy sponsors help people in many ways, they help people define themselves and learn about most things in life when you think about it. Everybody we meet teaches us something about a situation. Sometimes good and sometimes bad, it just depends on how you look at it.

Peng's (2013) studies concluded the following: The cuneus and lingual are portions of the human brain are linked to recieving and processing the visual information, especially related to letters. The disorder of these portions fo the brain can lead to a confusion of visual information which may further cause inattention.

Within English 219, we have already learned a vital set of writing skills, that will allow for the improvement of essays, and summaries that must be written for future assessments. Some of these skills that would be relevant for achieving general writing improvement could be ideas such as thesis development, structuring and planning, or more specific examples when actually fleshing out the essay such as elements of grammar and style. Thesis development which is crucial so that ideas can be fully explained and related back to a point which can be interpreted as an overarching theme for the entire paper, and allows the reader to interpret the topic of not only the essay but of each paragraph. Taking a step back we looked in class at the subject

I think the type of writer that I am is a mix between a casual off and on kind of writer and sorta plans ahead in advance depending on what I'm writing about. The way I approach in writing a paper is to write a topic sentence first, then look for facts to support my topic sentence, that I can spread out between three to four sentences and then I try to find a proper way to conclude what I covered in rephrasing facts with the topic for the final sentence. Then After I do that if I have to extend the facts to better explain them, I try to think about what kind of wording can I use to better describe the facts to make sense to the reader to clarify so they can see my perspective on what I'm talking about. To conclude all that I think my strength in writing is over thinking what topic I'm writing about because in the past teachers said to me that sometimes I describe too much in fields that were never necessary.

Employers and accredited business schools recognize that “good writing skills” are essential for an individual to have in order to thrive in a professional and academic environment. “If both employer and educators recognize the importance of good writing skills, why do they continue to bemoan the lack of such skills” (Simkin, Crew, & Groves, 2012, p. 3-8)? At this time we are going to address “Student Perceptions of Their Writing Skills: Myth and Reality” to further answer these questions. Hopefully, after engaging in this essay, an assessment of your own writing perceptions will ignite a desire for you to become a more effective writer.

Writing was my biggest obstacle since I came to United sates, and the problem started when I enrolled in high school. First time, I took evaluation exam for high school. My score was bad. For instance, when I moved from my country to U.S, I was upset and could not have the ability to achieve success in the beginning of my high school. I thought that the high school was hard because English is my third language. Since I started to have friends, it was hard for me to communicate with the people around me. Additionally, Through my education process, I didn't have the intention for applying to any colleges. Then, my family started to help me how to study well and get better grades. They were motivating me to take the ACT exam for colleges. And I began to plan for my future in which I got accepted in Florida agriculture and mechanical University for Pharmacy School. I cannot imagine how I started since I came U.S till what I

What I learned and found interesting is that after a reader has analyzed and correctly read a word several times he or she forms a neural model of that specific word that is then stored permanently in the occipito-temporal area. This isn’t exactly fascinating to me; I am the type of reader that makes mistakes while reading because my brain has decided what the word is before it has truly read it. Four example, I may read

People can form sentences that are grammatically correct but have anomalous meaning, which argues that language and cognition are interdependent of each other. Grammar operates independently of intelligence and cognition, which contradicts previous beliefs about the interplay of both cognition and language. Cognition is an umbrella term used to describe mental faculties such as problem solving, visuo-spatial skills, perception, understanding thought, and working memory (cite me). People with William’s Syndrome, a genetic disorder, are considered to be the paradigm case for “the independence of language and cognition” (CITE ME). This is because their grammar and language skills appear more developed compared to their chronological age group yet they suffer from underdeveloped intelligence/cognitive functions compared to their mental age group.

It is essential that everyone has some type of basic writing skill because it will help anyone who is reading or writing an essay, paper, or even a book to efficiently communicate with their reader. With the lack of grammar and structure of the essence of writing, it would be meaningless. It is important for anyone to perfect any writing skill that they may be having trouble with as soon as the problem occurs. Once a person has identified their problems they can be left with the decision to practice the problem and research it in order to fix those problems. This past few weeks my English teacher developed a midterm project based on three problem areas in which we had trouble with. We were then told, out of all three we needed to find three resources each, in which helped us improve on all of these areas. I am so glad this project was presented to me so that I could fix not one but all three of my skill areas. The three areas that I felt that I had the most problems with was, introduction paragraphs, conclusion paragraphs, and pronoun-antecedent agreement. First, to aid me in my introduction paragraphs, my resources included: The Little Seagull Handbook, Owl Purdue Online Writing Lab, and About Education- The Introductory Paragraph. Second, to aid me in conclusion paragraphs, my resources included: The Little Seagull Handbook, Owl Purdue Online Writing Lab, and About Education- Writing Your Conclusion. Last, to aid me in pronoun-antecedent agreements, my

“In a complex model of interacting competencies in reading and writing the reader can potentially draw from all his or her current understanding, and all his or her language competencies, and visual information, and phonological information, and knowledge of printing conventions, in ways which extend both the searching and linking processes as well as the item knowledge repertoires. Learners pull together necessary information from print in simple ways at first . . . but as opportunities to read and write accumulate over time the learner becomes able to quickly and momentarily construct a somewhat complex operating system which might solve the problem. There is no simplified way to engage in the complex activities …” (Clay, 2001, p.224)

In this article, Rose argues against theories that have long claimed that “unsuccessful writers think in fundamentally different ways from successful writers” (325). He rejects Watkin’s theory that basic writers are field dependent learners, meaning they have difficulty abstracting information outside of their own experience; instead, Rose argues that basic writers’ responses to written assignments are a reflection of how they communicate in their own culture and environment. Rose feels that a writer’s cognitive style is not a measure of ability or how well they perform, but their manner and style performance on a task. He resists “singular, unitary cognitive explanations for poor school performance,” strongly criticizing a reductive tendency in composition to apply cognitive theories from psychology, neurology, and even literary studies to basic writing, which include narrow judgements of literate vs. oral, independent vs. dependent, concrete vs. logical, and verbal vs. spatial (325). The theory of hemisphericity suggests that each hemisphere is responsible for certain cognitive and physical functions and that we tend to rely on one half of the brain or the other. Rose expresses critiques’ concerns of this theory showing it lacks consistent proven research. Piaget’s Stages of Cognition is a theory that was tied to a 1970 study that found that half of college freshman could not

During the course of this class, I would like to become a better reader. I have always been a slow reader and don't comprehend what I read. Also I have been a generally decent writer, but my grammar isn't very high. In elementary school, I was in the reading help classes and I don’t think they helped much, I am still behind my grade level. After High School, I want to find a job, move out, and find a decent house. I will probably work at a care home or something like that. I would like to go straight into the workforce, school is not my thing. The kids are annoying and immature, the teachers generally aren’t my biggest fan, besides a select few I actually do like. I have always loved to work and have had jobs since I was 14.

The gifts inherent in these parts of the brain were almost certainly used by a lot of Ancient mystics, prophets, sages and wisemen and women as they could directly communicate with the Deities of the Old and even understand the language of other creatures such as animals, plants and even faefolks. However, years passed
