Composition Letter Grade Justification Metacognitive Essay/Composition
My goal as a writer is simple: write a paper that wants to be read. I know, every writer wants to be noticeable. They want fame, wealth and notoriety. But for me, I just want a paper that people would enjoy. As a writer I want to spark the passion of my reader, I want him/her to walk away and go “Wow I actually never thought of it like that”, or something like that. As I am right now, I am not at that level. I have not written a piece that I can truly be proud of, something that makes me feel that I, Adam, am a very good writer. But that is why I joined AP Lang and Comp: to help myself become a better writer. I feel that this class can help me in my journey to becoming a better writer. I feel that once I master how to write a meaningful paper, I can expand my horizon. In this justification …show more content…

I first read the prompt and start to form an opinion or a certain belief towards the subject. Once I have this opinion, I use it to inspire me when I write an essay. It serves as my focal point and the backboard in which I can start, from there I can begin using examples in my life today that help support my belief. After I am done writing every detail that I have time for, I look through my essay and find where I made an obvious grammatical error, or somewhere in which I can improve upon my word choice. Now this is not the best way to write a paper, and I know that. But that is why I use other people’s opinion to help myself become a better writer. For example, in my EDM ( Ethical Decision Making ) essay, someone suggested that I should not start a sentence with the word “with”. When looking back through the essay, I realized that he/she was absolutely correct. So I went back and I fixed it. Now this is just one example, but it shows that I use other people’s opinion in order to help me become a better

    Most of us write in some form every day, so you would expect that most of us would be well practiced and pretty good at writing. I read and write all the time; I have been taken several college courses and nearly all of them require write of some form. However, before taking this class not only was I not a good writer, I knew I wasn’t a good writer. Now I am not saying that I am ready to write my first novel, but I certainly more confident in turning in my college papers. The content of this course and the style of teaching was incredibly beneficial to me. Throughout this course we had multiple assignments that were aimed to improve us as writers. I am sure that everyone took something different from this course, and I am sure that each student took more from some areas than others; however for me there were three major things that I saw that I benefited from most. Our weekly craft lessons, grammar plan, but most of all, observational learning.

Before this course, I did not have a developed writing voice or style. I had little knowledge of what phrases or words to avoid using in writing. I started to wonder if I truly belonged in an AP course. After having completed this course, I have a better grasp of the English language and have acquired skills that have improved my writing.

    Writing is so much easier when you don’t have a ridiculous amount of guidelines you have to follow. With literary freedom, we are able to express ourselves more than if we have to follow a specific set of rules for every thing we write. This is one downfall for high school English. We have to order our papers in a specific sequence while writing about a topic that is chosen for us. This English composition class changed all of that. We were able to write about anything that related to the given type of essay, which greatly improved our ability to fully immerse ourselves into every paper. This greatly affected my writing thoughts about writing; they changed from hating to write for school to actually enjoying it because I was able to find new things about my self while deepening my knowledge for writing.

    At the beginning of the year, I was scared of Comp. Some friends, who had already taken the class, told me how hard it is going to be. They told me that there is a heavy workload and homework almost every night. Comp is a college class, so I knew it was going to take a great deal of effort to get a favorable grade. Coming in, I didn’t have very much experience writing essays on a college level. In previous years, I tried to take the easiest English class I could. I hated writing and tried to do the bare minimum to get by. I thought I wasn’t skilled enough at writing, and no one would want to read what I write. Taking Comp has helped me develop as a writer. There is a massive difference between my first essay and my last. Over the semester, my strengths have gotten stronger, my weaknesses have improved, and I have set goals for Comp 210.
