Reflection On My Writing Process

I have improved very much in my writing process over this semester. I have grown as a writer in each writing process step such as prewriting, drafting, revising and editing, and overall. Outlining, writing a good thesis, getting peer reviewed, and giving myself plenty of time to finish a paper are new strengths that I have learned over the semester. I will reflect on all the topics in the writing process and my growth in argumentation essays. In fact, my previous attitude and feelings about writing was that I disliked it, and I knew that it was a weakness of mine. Now, I feel that I can write a strong argumentation essay. I have the sense that I have progressed a considerable amount from my first essay to my last.

writing process. I hope it is very evident in my writing that Writing 101 has completely

Reflecting at my own writing process and using my experiences as a way to shape my future practice as an English teacher, has brought light to the concepts of style, providing opportunities for multiple forms of writing, creating low-stakes writing opportunities, addressing authentic audiences, and establishing non-judgmental/safe space classrooms. Based on the theory that Milner et al. outline in the "Process Model," (2012, p.339) I would almost explicitly follow this pedagogy as a way to help students explore writing. For example, I would focus on the steps relating to revision (step 2), teaching multiple forms of writing (step 3), creating opportunities for teacher conferences (Step 4), and providing students with authentic, and divers audiences

People have many ways that they write. Some do a process of doing drafts so they can look through, edit and make the paper better. Others will just write a paper and turn it in. My process consist of starting with making a thesis. Then from the thesis I create the topic sentences for the topic at hand. The best way to write the essay in a good format and have good detail in the writing I would write a paragraph a day. By doing that process it allows me to get what is needed out on the paper so none of the paragraphs are mixing content and making the paragraphs less structured. This process not only makes writing essays less stressful while also getting the paper done quickly.

Many steps of the writing process came together when I had to write a blog entry for this class about my complicated history with composing first drafts. When I first attempted to start the assignment, I planned

Artifact 1: Brainstorm topics; this artifact is a list composed of ten main terms with two subterms residing to each. Brainstorming is a method that always for the flow of creativity. Therefore, paving the way for new ideas. However, prior to this artifact, I rarely used brainstorming as a method in the composition of my pieces. Throughout my writing career, I based my essay topics around the first thought that would come to mind. However, this artifact presented the notion that, first ideas are not always the best. From my list of terms, I was able to choose an essay topic that I was truly passionate about. The subject that I chose to write on, was not the first idea that came to my mind while brainstorming. It had actually taken seven tries in order for me to find the right one .

Have you ever felt that feeling when you know what to write, but you don't know how to write it? If yes, it would be best to organize it by creating an outline. By doing this, it would be easier to fill your blanks.

In my first draft, I would like it to be more organize and readable to the reader. I would also like to experience the difference between the first draft

The best method for me is to research the topic, then the next day writes what comes to my head, and finally in a day or so I will sit down and perfect and revise it. This seems to give my brain a chance to organize the thoughts and information that I have learned so that when I rewrite it, I don't take very

From the first assignment to the last, I realized that my writing process has changed a lot. I usually write my papers in my room, whether on a desk or on my bed. I did not organize my thoughts as eloquently as I should have. My ideas were more sporadic, and I did not give myself as much time to write it out. In addition, I was more worried about the page limit rather than the content of my work. Similar to the other assignments, I did not start my process with an outline. I went straight towards writing my paper without giving any structure, which did not help with the organization of my papers in this class.

The next step is to draft an outline for each, unless I have already chosen one specific one, and figure out whether I have enough ideas on the topic(s) to compose a full-length written piece. It usually helps narrow the field down to one, although there have been times I had to stop and decide if maybe there was better subject matter out there I hadn’t considered yet.

There are two approaches I take in regards to writing. If a prompt is presented, I begin a free writing method by writing anything that comes to mind. Most individuals prefer to organize a brainstorming map to organize their thoughts and ideas, but my ideal approach is to print any thought that reaches the surface during the writing process. Once my brainstorming approach has been exhausted, I reflect upon the ideas that were written and shape an organized piece of writing. In addition, I also attempt to incorporate various styles of writing into the work that is being created. Styles such as dialogue, imagery, and various types of literary devices give me the opportunity to bring creativity into my writing. For this particular type of writing,

My writing skills which I have worked on over the few months I have been in English 102 have changed quite a bit in my opinion. There are many things which I have improved upon that were amongst my weaker writing skills when the year began. On the opposite side of that point, there are also many things which I still need to improve upon if I want to truly elevate my writing to a level that I will be confident in. Finally, I have gained new skills outside of writing from this class, particularly the activities which we did in class at various points throughout the year. These things all cumulate together to give me an appreciation of English courses which I did not previously have.

This task was developed in order to help learners to write based on the new words and ideas learned from the text. Since writing is done more slowly than speaking, this written practice helps learners to focus their attention on what they had learned from the text. Furthermore, this activity gives learners opportunity to speak to others and listen to responses in order for them to write a summary. This adds variety to their assignment and perhaps helps increase their interest level in completing this task.

Thus, the first thing that was done was to choose the text and the topic.
