that I was quiter proficient at writing essays. In high school I winged most of my essays and still received high grades, but I was taught in this class that just writing the essay wasn’t all that I needed to do. In the beginning of the class with essay 1 I just wrote it in one sequence, never stopping to try and reorganizing it. My organization skills were off balance and I had trouble with mistaking my corrections for revising. As I made my way to essay 2 and received an 81% I realized that writing

I thought the essays for this class would be more research based. I like having essays over my opinion, but I think I am better at research type essays. I see that in the next few weeks we will be writing research based papers and I am quite excited for those. I think my best work has been my learning experience paper. I think this is my best work, because I had no idea of what to write about going into that essay. I went completely blank on everything I had ever

Our summer reading essay is supposed to show who we are as a writer and a reader, and where we need to begin our odyssey as a writer and reader. Of course, mine does not exactly do that. The summer reading essay does not represent who I am as a writer and I am mortified to have written such a catastrophe. But, one thing it does show is that I cannot rush or procrastinate because when under a time crunch my work seems to implode. I admit even when given plenty of time, my writing pieces are not perfect

writing like a robot. I would write a three page essay in one night without even knowing what I wrote and turn it in. Tech writing got me to focus more on my work while maintain my other classes without feeling a burden. My first essay that I did in class was actually about what someone also did, and what I mean by that is they just wrote. My first essay also my first example in this portfolio is “The Confusing Essay” (pg. ). Now this first essay I answered what the professor wanted but I didn’t

Genocide and Atrocities”. I chose this book, because the study of genocide is interesting to me, in learning about why it happens and how to stop it from happening in the future. In regards to the essay, it is going to be broken into three different parts. The first part, which is planned to be about half of the essay, will talk about some about a couple of the major themes of the book. The second part will consist of showing how the book is tied to content we have learned in class. And to wrap up the paper

One major thing I learnt from this class was to primarily focus on what other people said about my certain topic first, rather than coming up with an argument that doesn’t have strong roots. I used to focus more on what `I wanted` to say, and ignore what other scholars have already established. My inclination towards being a selfish writer caused me to struggle through the writing process. Since I did not listen to what other scholars have said in the past most of the time, finding sources that supported
