As I received my essay today I noticed some strengths and weaknesses in my writing. Some of the things I really need to improve on are writing in present tense and having an active voice, revising my work better and to write in an MLA format. These skills are very important as I will need them all throughout my life. Three strategies I would like to use to improve my writing are revising with the teacher beforehand, use a thesaurus to make better word choices and to practice writing in an active voice. These strategies will help me a lot as they focus on the errors I make in my writing. Revising with the teacher beforehand will help me a lot as I can easily get feedback on my essay before I hand it in. Showing it to the teacher will also allow

The strategies that I will use in my final draft are making sure my writing is in the third person, double check my in-text citing format as well as double check the wording to make sure I am using the correct words and grammar.

Weak skills that I began the class with have become strong and my strong skills have become stronger. Having the opportunity to write a variety of different essay styles has challenged me greatly to improve my writing techniques. Each essay I was required to write brought its own struggles for me. I had to draw on the information that was presented through the class as well as look to the textbook for guidance.

Strengths And Weaknesses Of Writing
1056 Words | 3 Pages
Throughout the years in middle school and high school I 've had to write many essays. Every time I walked into class and on the board it said "Essay" the anxiety attacked. Writing essays was never my favorite thing to do and im pretty sure many people feel the same way. My last teacher said he liked the creativity I had in my writing the only thing missing was knowing how to writing correctly. No writer is born knowing how to write perfectly they all had to learn and that’s what I 'm doing except what they learned stuck to them. The obvious strength I have in writing is that it isn 't math. But being serious now two good strengths in writing that I have are creativity and the energy to want to write. The one weakness that hopefully is common is that I just don’t know how to put all of this together. My strengths and weaknesses make want to become a better writer hopefully this class will help. I 've never been a good writer but then again not everyone is, my strengths push me and weaknesses pull me back but only with practice and help will the weaknesses be vanished.

My Strength As A Writer
199 Words | 1 Pages
I believe that as a writer I’ve always been a free writer, in the sense that I love writing without thinking about the ramifications of grammar and spelling. Although free writing is fun, I believe it is my strength because I can most likely write about a subject for multiple pages without any research by just using my own thoughts and opinions. Consequently, this type of writing has also been my downfall in essays and other writing assignments because of the mandatory rules that I fail to remember. In writing assignments, since I normally write off of what comes to mind my writing seems to carry many vague generalizations due to the lack of research that I do on the subject. When it comes to grammar I feel that it is easy for me to get

“You always say ‘it’s fine’ whenever I ask you if everything is okay,” my boss said to me, one summer Sunday in the middle of the brunch rush, that was typical in the small, family owned restaurant that I had waited tables at for the past 3 years. “If it’s not fine, you just have to say something and we can get you some help.”

My Education
1316 Words | 3 Pages
When speaking of the topic of who a person is and their past, a massive part of this includes their educational background. Isn’t this what forms people, their education? Of course, this doesn’t always have to refer to their organized education. Everything that a person learns is something that educates them; these words being synonymous. Even something like first learning to tie your shoes is a part of your education. Which method works better for you: loop, swoop, and pull, or bunny ears? I of course, like any other well educated person, use loop, swoop, and pull; it’s just the best way, no bias has ever developed there.

Throughout the year in Pre-AP English Literature I have learned a lot of information on the writing process. Through various writing assignments, I have learned to identify my strengths and weaknesses by reviewing my essays and writing reflections to look back on my improvements and my accomplishments. These perennial writing experiences I have done in class, as well as outside of class, have develop my writing skills tremendously by focusing on the pattern of the CEW structure, along with a clear, precise thesis that helps create a main idea and theme to follow while writing. Although, I feel my writing has gotten better, I feel there are a lot of improvements to be made that can help me reach the next level in my senior English class as well

Having not studies for ten years, I knew there were several areas in my academic writing that needed to be improved. After receiving feedback from ‘Writer’s Diet’ on my submission on ‘why teachers should be effective communicators’ (See Appendix 1) was extremely helpful on the specific points I should be focussing on when writing an academic paper; therefore hopefully improve and achieve a clearer and concise piece of writing to readers. Other resources I used to gain feedback on areas to improve on were from www.grammarbase.com for my lack of comma usage. My other weakness is not thoroughly proof-reading my assignment before submitting. I am aware now which areas that I need to improve on and hopefully achieve improvement.
