my writing capabilities, styles, and comforts. During the duration of the class I have been constantly urged to journey outside of my traditional comfort zone to elaborate and write about several topics that have affected and diversified my ability as a writer. In addition, I have learned many different styles of writing, new to me before the class and have attempted to write various new forms of essays. Through learning and attempting all of the new writing styles and techniques, my writing has
The four writing prompts over the course of the 2017 fall semester, have brought out different strengths in my writing. In the past, my English teachers gave similar prompts and I began to feel comfortable in those forms of writing. This semester has challenged what I always knew and made me work harder to produce a finished copy. In each project there was a different target audience and also a different tone and voice needed to successfully complete each assignment. I have developed deeper skills
completeness. In this reflection, I will review the work I had completed throughout the semester and analyze how I have grown as a communicator. I will first analyze and reflect on my communicative habits and processes, and then analyze my communicative development relating to the WOVE modes. In the beginning of this course, I would start my composing process by simply sitting down and starting the paper without any sort of preliminary work that would potentially help me with my writing process. Now, before
Reflection In elementary school, I learned to write sentences. As time went on I learned to put those sentences in a paragraph which was three to five sentences. When I finally entered high school I learned to put those paragraph together which made the essay. When I was in English composition one writing had so much more than just having five paragraph. The writing was a way of expressing your creativity, idea, values, and emotion. It is not focusing on making five paragraph you could do what
Self Reflection Before I entered this class my writing abilities were average, but I knew that with further learning and practice I could develop the skills to become a better writer. During the GSW 1110 class I have learned various new skills through four essays. Some of the new skills that I gained throughout this class are: how to locate both textual and visual sources, write effectively to audiences with opposing viewpoints, write to a variety of academic audiences, practice the process for
opportunity to use all of the writing techniques that we have learned in class this year during my assignments. But when going back through and reflecting on my works I have had many different chances to incorporate them in but had missed my opportunity. During the beginning of the year I worked as quickly as I could to finish assignments and was barely able to turn them in on time. This was a huge problem for me because I was not able to fully understand every writing strategy and when and where to
these distinctive issues and now feel I have enhanced much on these things yet at the same time could utilize more. My view on composing has changed definitely. I have another regard for writers and pursuers alike. I used to feel that English and writing were exceptionally silly; yet now I feel that written work is for everybody. They say "The weakest pencil recalls more than the most grounded brain," and I now observe this from an alternate perspective. Subsequent to composing things, for example
In my pre-course reflection, I stated that I wanted to work on strengthening my knowledge of convention, however, moving forward my mindset started to change and I quickly realized that I didn’t have as good of an understanding of the WPAs as I thought and I needed much more practice. I don’t feel that my writing has changed much but I did learn a lot during this semester, and I certainly feel a change in how I view writing. During project 1 we were tasked to analyze a space within our community
Nathan West Lang-120 Professor Graves 11/12/2017 Where Am I Now? A Final Reflection Narrative on Writing Writing is difficult. It is difficult to begin, difficult to stop and difficult to plan. However, it is surprisingly satisfying to create something that is entirely your own, made from your mind and a topic. Or at least this how I, as a eighteen year old college student, perceive the act of writing. I don’t write all that much outside of class or for a specific task, but when I do write something
be given in this class will not be easy, and that I need to be ready for them. So far, the three essays we have been assigned to write have been very advanced, making me forced to think more outside of the box, while writing. I believe that forcing myself to think harder while writing will be my biggest challenge this year. I usually would settle for average when it came to my assignments, hoping I would still get a good grade, but now, I know that I can’t do that. Although this class will be a challenge
