Fundamentals of Writing, Part One What to Do Before You Start Writing Writing—just reading the word might make you cringe. There are many possible reasons of why students do not like to write. Writing instructors usually hear My grammar is horrible, I had a writing teacher who marked up all my papers in red, or I cannot think of anything.

Writing is largely an iterative process that improves with practice. We have done a great deal of writing and revising in this course. We have also read Timothy Flood’s Business Writing in its entirety. Reflect on your writing skills and confidence five weeks ago and consider the progress you have made.

As I was picking my freshman courses during the summer, I had to enroll in a required ENG 105 course. Immediately, I thought that this course would be easy because all we will do is write essays. I thought I would be fully prepared by just going over Grammar rules and standardized test tips. In retrospect, after I have attended the class for almost the entire semester, I never expected to learn a new process of writing. During my time at high school, we never went over multiple stages of reflections

and an Overview – the Introduction As I begin to think on what I will write on my reflections on the significant lessons and insights that I have distilled in my readings for the past two months, I remember that American journalist and essayist Henry Louis “H.L.” Mencken once opined that: “A Historian by his nature, is an unsuccessful novelist.” If there is a commonality that I have noticed in the methodology of writing of the scholarly articles that I have read, it is the fact that majority of them

have always enjoyed English classes and writing. After taking the English 101 course here, I felt like my writing skills had improved and matured greatly along, helping with my transition to college and more advanced writing. Now, through completing English 102, I feel like my writing and research skills have improved even more and I feel better prepared for the writing and research tasks that await me. In this portfolio, I hope to demonstrate how my writing has improved through this class and how

long and growing list of factors ‘from provision to pupils with SEN’ to the ‘literacy objective’ that considerably lengthen every written plan – the hurdles to overcome when planning for an 8-week scheme would surely but multiply. While the freedom at my fingertips was invigorating, there was the gnawing sense that failure to grasp the key issues involved would lead to the teacher’s greatest fear – wasted lessons; wasted lessons after which the class would struggle to maintain a respect for the teacher

Dear Mr. Demers, I hope you are doing well. I am compiling my portfolio to help me in the job application process. As you know, preparing this portfolio so that it stands out when applying for future positions requires several documents that prove my strong work ethic. I would very much appreciate your recommendation to include in my portfolio. I enjoyed my experience working at Spectrum Analytical Inc., as it broadened my scope of how a laboratory functions in a practical manner

with the American Labor Movement, you’ve at least heard of Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle. If you haven’t, however, it’s an exposé of the terrible working conditions faced by immigrant laborers in Chicago a little over 100 years ago. Though I’m not writing to rehash a chapter in a US History textbook, The Jungle signifies something important that was often left overlooked— the lack of care that many companies had for their laborers, as jobs were in high demand and employees were as replaceable as a

looking back went by very quickly. I am pleased that a chapter in my requirements is closing, and at the same time I am a bit sad that the class is over. Without further ado, it’s time to answer the requirements of this journal entry. The first question about what I see writing on the job is almost an unfair slow pitch over home plate. I say this because I am currently in my chosen career and I am already responsible for writing memorandums related to ladder company tactics, information technology
