Reflection In High School Writing

After the completion of my initial draft for “Black Lives Matter”, I have learned that rhetorical analysis means more than just identifying the rhetorical elements. Its main intent is to critically analyze the elements the author uses to persuade the audience in order to get his/her point across. Rhetorical analysis is focused on identifying and answering who the author is writing to, the purpose, what message is the author trying to convey, and why. Then to further conclude, how do all these elements come together and impact the reader. As described above, there are many elements that go behind a rhetorical analysis. For example, an effective analysis may include and discuss

Throughout the course of freshmen year I have developed different skills and opinions on writing. I feel I have created a more mature style of writing and a better understanding of literature. I have changed my view of writing over this semester and acquired a strong liking for it. The importance of writing has become more visible throughout the past few months. Writing is crucial in many aspects of a person’s life. I have grown to be a more powerful and well built writer throughout this course.

This success goal is about my narrative paper. It relates to goal 1b, which is analyzing the ways a text’s purposes, audience, and contexts influence rhetorical options. In this paper,

At 11:15 on Monday, August 17, 2015, my first official college class, English 1101, began. In general, I had no idea what college classes would be like let alone how college English would be. Even though this class taught me a great deal in one semester, it took a large amount of time and effort to make the adjustment from high school. The simplistic writing style of high school was put to rest the moment the first college English class began. As a result, I learned quickly that college writing is complex and less systematic than high school writing. Five paragraph essays with three strict body paragraphs were no longer the norm for writing. Even though my professor helped guide my writing, I was no longer coddled through the whole writing

As this semester comes to a close, I have become to realize how much I’ve grown as a writer. After taking this class, I have noticed that I have gained more and more of a voice in my writing. When faced with having to write about subjective topics, I have learned how to voice my opinions in papers in order to make them more effective. My writing has greatly evolved because of this class. Not only has it shown me I have to work on sentence variety, but it has also allowed me to work on word choice which is something I have always struggled with throughout my high school career. Struggling with how to put things into words as exactly how I see them has been a struggle for me throughout this course. Despite how much I’ve grown as writer, I have

The toilsome component this semester was transitioning from being a high school level writer to a college-level writer. However, English 10 has by far been my best experience in writing. By taking this course I have retrieved many helpful elements, that will help me become a successful writer throughout college. In high school, essays often gave me stress and anxiety, however, when taking English 10, I was able to learn to enjoy the process of writing purposefully and mindfully. Even though, I have taken advanced placement English courses in high school and have taken a practice run of college level English over the summer with Professor Brenda Venezia, I was still able to retrieve a lot more from this course. To showcase my progress in

Throughout this semester, I have seen an improvement in my writing skills and the way I develop my essays. I have always had a passion for creative writing, but when writing academic papers, I lacked technique and correct grammar. I made exceptional grades on my writing assignments in high school, but I learned quickly that English college classes are much more challenging. Being in my first college English class helped me learn how important class attendance and participation are, along with learning the many rules and techniques used in writing. Seeing the improvement in my writing over the course of this semester has made me very optimistic of the English classes I will take in the future. This class has taught me how important grammar is and how I should always strive for improvement in my writing.

As my freshman year of college comes to a close, I reflect on my two English courses this year. I have learned a lot these last two semester in my english 101 and 102 classes. English 101 focused a lot on different types of papers, while English 102 focused mainly on taking what we learned from a reading and analysing and interpreting of stories and poems we read. Looking back at my high school English days, I believe I had made major improvements in my writing abilities between these two semesters.

My writing has improved through this class because I write more professionally and resourcefully, learned about citations, and write longer papers easier. I have learned to make every sentence have valuable information within it. This has made my papers more enjoyable to read and have a purpose for writing them. I have also learned how to create correct citations. This will be useful throughout all of college because it is crucial to give credit to the rightful owner. Lastly, my papers have become easier to write more. While writing about topics I enjoy I research more and want to write more about them. Consequently, by combining all three of these things I have learned to write longer, more efficient essays that give proper credit. I have

Overall, this class has taught me a lot. It has pushed and stretched my writing abilities to the limit, and has helped me grow as a writer. I was able to learn how to construct a strong, valid thesis, do extensive research on a topic, and do a deep analysis on different material. Although this course was a bit tricky for me because I do not care for writing, I feel that this course will help me conquer my writing endeavors in the future.

This class has been one of the more challenging classes I had this semester. It was challenging because it forced me to really sit down and check my writing process. It gave me a whole new outlook on how I write my papers. I always thought that I was pretty decent at writing papers and I would not have to worry too much. However, this class has given me a new perspective and has allowed me to see that there are many areas that I could improve on in my writing. I needed to improve in areas such as the style of my writing and my sentence structure. I needed to work on my grammar and my punctuation. I had to work on paying more attention to the little details in my writing. This class has allowed for me to really deconstruct and examine how I

Throughout my senior year, I have had to write every day in Mrs.Stueve’s English class. With the help of writing every day while also writing longer essays, I have grown as a writer. I have not only gotten better with grammar, but my passion for writing has also improved over time. In this portfolio, you will find four examples of my essays throughout the year and be able to witness my growth as a writer for yourself. These papers include the first paper I ever wrote in this class, a research essay, my first final of this class, and the best essay I have written in this class. These papers will demonstrate my growth as a writer and highlight my literary strengths.

My approach to writing has been positively impacted by taking this class. At the beginning of the semester, I struggled with the placement of commas. Over the course of the class, however, I began to understand when and where to use commas. My sentence structure and fluency experienced great improvement due to this. I would say that my writing abilities have grown as much as I expected from taking this class.

After I started to learn ESL 115 course this year, I have learned a system of essential skills to improve my English writing. By practicing the knowledge I learned from the class, I received the ability to organize my essay better. However, there are still some aspects that I could improve by applying. For example, the part that I still can improve is the tone, the thesis statements and the PIE part.
