This semester has been an eye opener to me about how I formulate ideas and outlines to my papers and visual works. My writing style and skills have gone through many changes throughout English 150 but by far there have been three areas where I have seen the most improvement. How I compose and formulate my works, using certain resources and how I integrated them into my paper, how I edit those works, and how well I use the advice and guidance from my peers to help me revise or complete my works.
Composing and formulating to me should be in their own category but are also two different components of that category. Formulating being the information I choose, what other topics may go along with it, and how much relevance it has to the certain assignment criteria and my audience. Before I participated in this class I would try and include every bit of information about each topic and try to somehow include that into my writing. I learned that there are some bits of information in which you should include and some where it might be best and help the paper more by not including it. I learned this when I was writing my assignment number four, which I have included in this portfolio. Composing is how I put my paper together, meaning my outline and structure. This is the stage where I decide how I want my paper to flow and how I want it to guide the reader through. A valuable lesson I learned in this class is to really make sure my organization of my paper is done well and in doing
During my time spent in the English 110 I endured a writing style of APA that was barely introduced to me in high school. The most beneficial things I learned throughout my research process this year is the use of the writing center and librarians , the online databases, and the moodle forum post allowed me not only to succeed in English 110, but will give me beneficial techniques to use in future papers I will have to write.
Throughout this class I have learn many different writing styles. We used APA form of writing to type our paper and essay. I have also learned that it’s good to take your time and spend more time thinking about what to write, other than just righting a paper right off back. I have learned that it’s not a good idea to write a paper on the day it’s done, that’s more like a ruff daft. My teacher have helped me understand different point of writing. Which all writing deal with an ethos, pathos and logos, either one or all of them will run through anything that tell you anything in writing. From what emotion are there to who have the rights to speak at the moment to what are the facts to agree with this person. As a class we have read articles, bio from many people to understand that it’s more then what the person is writing. Reading between lines and analyzing a part of the story can tell you more then what the writer is saying. Working together to understand something and work better than being alone thinking about a situation you can’t understand.

I personally enjoy writing. I always have and I, likely, always will. However, I severely struggle under certain writing conditions and prompts.

In fact, I was worried I would receive a horrible grade on that essay.

Personally, I have experimented with different approaches to improve my writing every year. However, I have realized that I still have a lot of room for improvement and exploration.

There are many writing styles that many people pick up as they go through there many years of schooling. Each person picks up the same type of writing styles but as years go by people seem to pick up there own little types of writing style that separates them from everyone else. As I have gone through many years of English classes I have acquired more and more skills and many more are sure to come as I continue my education. My writing skills have only gotten better from the time of ninth grade English class until today. Since my days back in junior high school I was only taught the basic skills to write papers and since then they have grown to make me a decent writer. I have many strengths and also
Since it has been more than five years away from school and English as my second language, I encountered many challenges in this course, but also very rewarding. This course has given me the critical skills, research paper, and essay writing skill that will prepare me for success in future course.

When I reflect on my writing capabilities, I find that I am very comfortable in terms of avoiding run-on sentences, comma splices sentence fragments. Writing complete sentences and having proper grammar is a skill that comes very easily to me due to the fact that I am extremely cautious of writing mishaps and making sure my writing sounds and runs smoothly. Although I did watch the videos provided, I feel as if they confused me more than they did help me as much of the English vocabulary used I have rarely heard. Even though I am comfortable with my writing, I still did in fact download Grammarly as I thought it could help me in the other aspects of my writing. I found that this program helps me f
I have a very particular writing process. It was introduced to me during my sophomore year of high school and proved successful over the last four years of my undergraduate education. I began to consider myself a writer following a year long course required by my high school. The purpose of the class was to perfect our writing abilities and appreciate literary classics (inspiring us to write) such as; Slaughterhouse-Five, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and Catcher and the Rye, just to name a few. Our classes began each morning with a themed brainstorm, we would use them to develop our essays, following the steps which follow. I have continued to follow the rules I was taught, as it has been prosperous through out my educational endeavors.The course of this essay will examine my writing process, while comparing notions of good writing skills.
Writing used to be a challenge to me. Trying to juggle the many nuances of writing such as ideas, organization, diction, and style was always a difficult process and finding a method of effectively handling this issue was a blessing to me as a writer. Writing became a formulaic thing to me. Whenever I was assigned an essay, ideas flow through my mind and I already begin to formulate what I want to do and how I want to organize those ideas. Being able to apply that formulaic mindset of intro, thesis with 3 main ideas, 3 body paragraphs filled with evidence and details to support the aforementioned main ideas, and a conclusion always seemed to give me a solid guideline. From there I would simply fill in the blanks with my information and as a result, the skeleton of my paper was made. My experience in an AP English Literature class during my senior year helped me write more effectively, find the perfect setup for different types of papers, and overall solidify my strength as a writer. Over the course of that class I learned how to be concise and direct with my words, organize the ideas of my paper to flow smoothly, and how to adapt to different styles of writing whether it be personal, academic, or a blend of both.
