I believe that my writing has grown immensely since the beginning of this semester. Through the semester we were assigned many papers that were meant to challenge our writing abilities, and I believe they did just that. Some of the strategies I have worked on (and improved on) this semester include: reading attentively and critically, understanding the writing process, developing my thesis and supporting it, understanding the basic elements of research, and editing and revising effectively.

Paper has a long history, beginning with the ancient Egyptians and continuing to the present day. For thousands of years, hand-made methods dominated and then, during the 19th century, paper production became industrialised. Originally intended purely for writing and printing purposes, a wide variety of paper grades and uses are now available to the consumer Of all the writing and drawing materials that people have employed down the ages, paper is the most widely used around the world. Its name derives
In the 1790s members of the industry in both Paris and London were working on inventions to try to mechanise paper-making. In England John Dickenson produced the cylinder machine that was operational by 1809. Although useful for smaller enterprises, this lacked the large scale potential of the machine resulting from the invention of Nicholas-Louis Robert in Paris, which had a more complicated incubation period. The last of the early improvements to this machine were financed by the Fourdrinier brothers
SCH3U1-03 March 30, 2014 The Chemical Reactions Used To Create Paper The creation of paper has been around for many centuries. The first traces of paper creation were in China.

For centuries, people have read and learned on paper. It has loyally served man as the ideal vehicle for conveying our thoughts, feelings, and ideas. In recent years, an opponent has risen: computers. The computer brought the world to our fingertips, to the palm of our hands, but is this competitor superior? Should we drop the written and printed empire that had dominated and quenched our thirst for knowledge for so long? Paper has served an ever-changing world well, constantly adapting and morphing
The first historical mention of paper is 104 A.D. in China. The Empress of China at that time loved books and wanted to have a lot of them made. At the time everything was written on silk scrolls which were extremely expensive and time consuming to make. She wanted something cheaper and easier to use and so she asked one of her servants, a gentleman by the name of Tsi Lun to come up with an alternative. He worked for over nine years experimenting with different things and finally came up with hemp
upon, but the very basics of writing an essay-its unity, coherence and fluidity were thrown out of the window-was never thought. After receiving a strong scrutiny on my sentence structure and grammar for my first paper, I quickly realized that although I could write good 200 word paper. I lacked the grammatical skills; the patience, the interest and the raw talent to create a college level essay. My focus was completely shifted from getting the best possible grade in the class to improving my identity
Writing is a skill that can never be full mastered. No matter how many books, papers, articles, or periodicals that a person has written and/or published, there is still room for improvement and new techniques and styles to master.

Moving onward into elementary school, it was hard to imagine learning writing techniques
instead of waiting until the last minute. I put all my energy into writing an excellent paper. This paid off when I earned an A on my first essay. Unfortunately, my enthusiasm for meticulousness in my writing declined after that. I procrastinated and was left with insufficient time to compose an essay of the same caliber. At the time, I thought I had put forth my best effort, but as evidenced with the previous paper, I could do better. Using that experience, I was able to learn and apply a more strategic
In the past 16 weeks, I have grown tremendously as a writer. As the final semester comes to an end, I see how much I have accomplished in writing. In the past writing papers was extremely difficult to do. I didn 't know where to start or what to even write about, but as the time went on, I realized that writing is important. My first day was very exciting, but nerve wrecking, I’ve been learning so much throughout the whole semester, and have proven to my teenagers that they can do almost anything
