Strength Of Writing

This year, with my six essays in hand, I have been able to map out my improvements in my writing. Before this analysis, I was sure my weakness would have been Organization, and my strongest would have been Voice, just like last year. However, things have changed. This year, my weakness in my writing is Conventions and my strength in writing is my Voice. These two things are important, along with the other four traits that I have graded myself on.

I immensely struggled when writing. Taking my scrambled thoughts and uncoordinated analysis and converting it into clean and understandable words on a page was arduous. I could not express my thoughts in proper academic format. I understood the importance of writing to every subject. It was essential that I learn to condense my ideas and feeling into coherent written word. After much debate, I decided that the best way to improve my writing skills was to take an advanced English course.

Chapter ten is all about, as a teacher, being able to assess the writing skill of students and knowing different ways to keep the students interested. Along with talking about the underlying issues when it comes to the different ways writing is taught and evaluating the skills of writing students. For me, growing up I can’t tell you how much I disliked having to write papers in high school because we would talk a little about what the teacher wanted and then we were set to do it on our own, then given a grade and that was it. I always wanted more feedback than what I got so with the next writing assignment I could do better than the previous. After reading this chapter three main content areas that stuck out to me were; what do grades mean, objectivity in assessment, and how to make assessments reliable.

Writing was never a known weakness of mine. However, I could never confidently call it a strength. Throughout the course of this semester, my writing style has evolved and I have rid my writing of many habitual mistakes. I have learned to appreciate writing much more, and enjoy the moments where my mind meets words on a paper. Creativity has always been one of my strong suits, but through this course I catered my creativity to compose a variety of essays and speeches. Likewise, public speaking is something that I did not struggle with in the past, yet the structure of the class required a video speeches which was fairly new to me. All in all, I have been able to identify and modify gaps in my composition of writing and speech as a result of this course.

There comes a time in life where we see an impossible obstacle, and do the best that we can to overcome it. For me, this was my AP English Language class in high school during senior year. The time was now, summer is nearly over. I analyzed my strengths and weaknesses, giving a full re-evaluation of myself. In the end, I consider myself an average writer. There have been times in the past when I’ve written letters or personal stories. However, those have never been my strongest set of skills. While I have been serious with my writing, I never recognized the unbelievable advantages that good writing has. Therefore, I’ve made it my goal to improve my literal skills and become a great writer. Maybe this new class will assist me in becoming that

When I think about writing, I feel intellectually ravenous toward the subject I am given. When I am tasked with a writing assignment I figure out how I feel about the subject and what ideas I could incorporate into my writing that pertains to the subject. I find it easier to write after knowing how I feel and doing research on the topic to gain a better understanding of what I'm supposed to be writing about. After studying the subject, I organize my paper and construct the layout of the paper to see how I want my paper to flow, and what emotions are to be portrayed in my writing. This part is very important to do because I am a horrible writer without knowing beforehand how I want everything to sound and flow. After the planning process, I

My writing process is simple, extreme procrastination, free writing and then aligning the paragraphs that may make sense together. When I write I mainly just read over the prompt and just type until something happens I often write two or three different passages on the same topic and take whichever bits and pieces that seem good, that is not the best way because sometimes I confuse myself and when reading through will read what I wrote as if it was still in its unedited condition. Most of the time I will wait until the day before to start writing especially if the topic is something dumb like “write about your writing experiences”

I am writing to you concerning my strengths and weaknesses when it comes to writing, reading, and speaking. When it comes to writing, I believe that my weakness is using words appropriately. My strength, however, is my ability to clearly convey my ideas. As for reading, I am not a big fan. Therefore, my weakness would be my lack of motivation to open a book or any sort of reading material for that matter. Whenever I do find the motivation to read, I am usually able to comprehend subject matter easily. When it comes to speaking, I believe that it is my strongest delivery method. I like to talk to others and I am not afraid to voice my opinion. I would have to say that my weakness for speaking would be staying on topic. Needless to say, I have

Have you ever wondered how writing changes as you move from elementary school to middle school and then to high school? When I first started as a writer in elementary school my word choice was bad and half a page was long for me. But over the years my word choice has increased, and now doing half a page is supper eazy. My spelling has increased from elementary school a hole lot. Middle school has helped me be a better writer than before. Some of my strengths is that my word choice, my topics, the way I explain things to the reader. With strengths there is also weakness. Some of my weakness it that my spelling,sometimes maybe a way a phrase something, or if I write a paper on something and I title it something else. Over the years im going to try my best to improve these weaknesses.

In the past, my experiences with writing have been basic. Other than when I took an advanced English class my junior year of high school, I have taken the common English classes for those of my age. My English course during my senior year of high school was heavily weighted on our ability to write, even though the teacher never taught us how. He expected us to know how to write perfectly, and demolished us when we could not live up to his standards. In a way, this helped me become a stronger writer, but it definitely made me more self-conscious about my writing. With that being said, I would have to go on to say that my biggest weakness as a writer is the fact that I am extremely self-conscious about my writing. I do not like others to read

One of my strengths is spelling and punctuation; however, I need to work on in text MLA citations. In evidence-based writing, if there are any evidence that the individual is citing then they must used an in-text MLA format. For example, the in text citation should be in parenthesis and should be placed at the end of the quote. Depending on the source, it would either have the author or the title of the source. In the evidence, if the individual used a source, this part is the most essential because it can become plagiarism if the source isn't cited. Despite the fact my strength is punctuation, in text citation is an important factor in evidence-based writing and it should be improved on.

Summary One- Strengths, Weaknesses, and Readiness After completing several assignments for UNIV 150, I have found that I have been given several tools and exercises to help advance my writing skills. These experiences have helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses, allowed me to learn new ways to tackle college, but most of all, enabled me to acquire knowledge in ways to improve my written language. The first few journal entries and public discussion boards weren’t particularly challenging; I felt like I wouldn’t have a problem in this class.

Writing is a skill that takes time to develop. Knowing your strengths and weaknesses is very important. Being aware of your strengths can help you stand out, and your weaknesses show you areas where improvement is needed. Like everybody I have weaknesses as well as strengths, and being conscious of them helped me improve my writing skills.

Although I was not overly challenged in my last English class, I have several weaknesses as a writer. My biggest weakness is neglecting to ask important questions that could improve my writing. Receiving

Writing is not just as simple as putting words down on a document or a piece of paper, it is a process. Within this intricate process are steps that involve more than just writing, such as critical thinking, planning, and editing. Using these steps has not only helped me when planning an essay but also when composing one. Throughout this course, I have managed to improve many skills and gain a lot of strengths, but I still possess some weaknesses. Overall, I believe my strengths have definitely outgrown these weaknesses and have led to a better, more high-quality writing process which leads to improved essays.
