Strengths And Weaknesses Of Writing

In the beginning of the school year I was a horrible writer and now with the help of the Six (plus 1) Traits of Writing I have learned how to become a better writer. I have learned how to organize my writing better by making sure my details are in logical order. My voice in writing has also improved because I have started to learn my own unique style of writing. I have learned to make an idea and use facts and evidence to support it. I used to use bland words that would make my writing a bore to read, but now I use meaningful and memorable words to support my papers. Before this year I never used to go over my papers, I would just hope that I did everything correctly. The Six (plus

Writing varies from a text message to a novel. Writers often have a difficult task in creating a piece of work that truly identifies the meaning of good writing. Every good writer usually starts with the basics such as genre, audience, rhetorical situation, and reflection of the piece. Throughout this semester, we have gone through all of these key terms in great detail with each new assignment that has come our way. In doing this, not only as students but also as writers, we have come to create our own theory of writing. Every writer has a different theory of writing though most are very similar. Now, at this point in the semester after doing countless journals, in-class exercises, and final assignments, I think I have figured out my own

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.

Sniff* "Mommy...Sniff* Daddy..." The lupine cried out as he laid down inside the beaten up box, wishing for his parents until someone started to shake the box. "L-leave me alone..." He whimpered to the stranger until the shaking stopped and two white hands reached inside and lifted him out of the box. "Hey there... Don't fret little pup I'm a police officer. Why were you in that box? Where are your parents? A white tiger asked with a gentle voice to the frightened pup. Jade noticed the police uniform and tried hard to calm down but failed miserably. "T...T-they are....sniff* There gone! T-there with everyone and left me all alone!" The lupin cried out loud, unable to hold back his warm tears. His breaths could be seen in the cold night air.

A person's strength was always his weakness and vice versa. When it comes to reading and writing, I have many strengths and weaknesses. My past writing and reading experiences have made me into the writer/reader that I today. Strengths help me excel in my read/write, but the weaknesses do bring me in a stump at times. When writing an essay, you can have a very high vocabulary, but not have the best of grammar. The good thing about weaknesses is that they can be worked on to be made into a strength. Many people achieve this by setting goals and making the new one harder and harder. Without strengths or weaknesses or even goals, how would people learn from their mistakes, become better at what they're not or achieve their aims?

“Well, I actually just had a breakthrough,” April explained. “I’m going to tell about my experiences in writing in the past, and in a circuitous style, I’ll loop it back around to how it has affected me in the present and how it will continue to affect me in the future since I’m planning on majoring in journalism.”

Writing is just a basic skill, wrong that’s a myth! Writing is complex and it’s tough.

Every writer has their own approach to the writing process. Some people may be extremely good at writing while others struggle. I know I was always one of those people who struggle with writing. In high school, I would always have to get help from a tutor or one of my teachers. It was always hard for me to stay focused enough to know what I needed to write about and what order everything needed to be in. it wasn’t until my senior year of high school when I finally had an English teacher who actually tried to help me with my writings. My teacher would work with me just a couple extra minutes before and after class making sure I knew what I would have to fix before I turn in my paper. He tried to help me with grammar and punctuation, but I

The Plain English Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of how to write clearly and effectively. Although several techniques are mentioned, I will select two strengths and areas of development.

I have been a student at the University of Texas for almost a whole semester now. I came to this school straight out of high school, not knowing what I was getting myself into. During my high school years, I was good at every subject except my writing class. Coming to UTSA, I knew I was going to struggle in my writing class, but that didn’t discourage me from not trying my best in the course. Going through the English program, I realized that I had some strengths and weaknesses in the class and it encouraged me to do better. The essays I have written for this class demonstrate that I have developed a strong thesis, organization skills, and detail; however, I still need to improve on grammar, keeping the POV, and citing.

My most recent writing course was English 102, which I took last year. I've also completed all of the lower division degree requirements, some of which were heavy on writing (anthropology, critical thinking, etc.). I tend to score well in writing classes and generally don't get a lot of feedback about where I need to improve. I think my weaknesses are centered around being too direct; sometimes it's hard for me to meet a word count while keeping everything clear and concise. I'd like to improve my ability to make content flow without being redundant or frivolous. Additionally, I'd like to work on being thorough and providing enough detail without feeling like I'm wasting space on the page. I believe that these weaknesses are also my strengths

The writing process was designed to guide writers through writing; the writing process accomplishes this by supplying writers with five steps to follow when writing. The five steps consist of: choosing a topic, brainstorming, drafting, revising, and editing. The writing process allows writers to plan the order in which they will conduct their paper. The most useful element of the writing process to me is outlining. Outlining takes place in the choosing a topic step of the writing process. Just as the writing process allows writers to plan the order in which they will conduct of their paper, outlines create a format that allows writers to plan the order of their body paragraphs. I feel accomplished in outlining because outlining allows me to plan my paper, and outlines give me a visual representation of what each body paragraph will consist of.

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.

Have you ever cleaned out your closet and found many items you never knew you owned? That is the way English 101 felt to me. I learned important skills and techniques that I will maintain even though the course is over. I will be constantly improving what I have learned—meaning I will work to carry about my strengths and eliminate my remaining weaknesses. English 101 has helped me grow as a reader, a writer, and most importantly a person.

A person's strength was always his weakness, and vice versa. When it comes to reading and writing, I have many strengths and weaknesses. My past writing and reading experiences have made me into the writer/reader that I today. Strengths really help me excel in my reading/writing but the weaknesses really do bring me in a stump at times. When writing an essay you can have a very high vocabulary, but not have the best of grammar. The good thing about weaknesses is that they can be worked on to be made into a strength. Many people achieve this by setting goals and making the new one harder and harder. Without strengths or weaknesses or even goals, how would people learn from their mistakes, become better at what they're not or achieve their goals.
