would have to brainstorm on a sheet of paper and also do prewriting and I didn't enjoy
doing that. I usually just flip open my lap top and start typing right then and there. This
way is easier for me because whatever comes to my head at that moment, I type it. I know
people that do different things to create their particular essay.
I do like writing a rough draft then fixing my mistakes and maybe adding important
points that should be included. I think it is very important to write a rough draft because
you can then improve your essay tremendously. I, personally like to get feed back from my
peers and instructor to make my essay better and more enjoyable to read. I tend to go off
topic occasionally and that's probably the number one thing I can improve on. I start off
strong with a topic in my thesis sentence and by the end of my essay I could support my
thesis a little better. I think I could also use a larger vocabulary in my writing. I could
always improve on my vocabulary. English has always been my best subject, but as I have
been getting older it's become harder for me.
Amelia,
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I can agree with most, if not all of what you have stated in your post. I myself also enjoys writing every bit of information that comes to mind in my first draft. That way, you can get everything out and hopefully not miss a single initial thought. I myself am always looking to improve my vocabulary in my writing as well!
Great job,
Carissa
Hi Amelia,
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the outline in previous English classes. Although it may be a pain it is somewhat helpful because it gets you to see your main points. I know what you mean about just getting down to it and seeing what you get as well though. I think you do a pretty good job with your writing, but remember revision can only make you better. Good job, good luck,
Marilyn
Hi Amelia,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you 100% about doing all kinds of outlines. I have never liked doing them and half of the time when it was required in high school, I would end up writing the outline after I wrote the actual paper. I'm really bad about doing revisions myself, but I definitely think getting feedback from peers and teachers is much needed to make improvements.
