While writing throughout the years, I think I learned a way to develop my writing style, but I really don't think that it really evolved until I got to Ms. Sueoka's English Class. There I learned the 6 Traits which are ways to add more feeling to my writing. I've never had to write a real essay before, other than one of those O.S. Papers throughout Middle School. Being in her class really made it a bit difficult and challenging, but I think it's was a good change for me. She made me grow up and made me realize what I had to do to change and advance as a student.
In writing I have many goals too. I want to be more creative and expressive as a writer and find many way to think differently and a bit wild and vivid. To think outside of my natural environment and grow as a writer.
I want to break free from the boring and cliche and make my readers feel the intensity and depth of the words that I wish to convey.
I want to better my writing style to please the readers and excel and escape the boring and dull words. I want to learn to expand my vocabulary. I don't want to cram my words into one small one, I want it to be enigmatic, something that takes awhile to dissect, but I don't want them to be confused trying to think of what I said.
I want my writing to flow, and add structure to whats being said.
I expect mself to change this year and for the better academically. I want ot be a better writer than I am today.

Hi Arleen,
ReplyDeleteWow…lots of goals for writing this year! I think you are off to a good start…so far you’ve been much more “on it” as far as class assignments and have really pushed yourself to keep to deadlines, etc. Your vocabulary and sensitivity to language already give you a pretty good starting point, so if you keep up on assignments and use them to increase the writing tools and strategies you already possess, you should be well on your way to achieving those goals.
Here are my comments on the pro/con pre-assessment: You’ve constructed a good argument for the use of technology in the classroom. What you need to strengthen it is less quoted material and more examples of your own. That’s a bit hard to do in an impromptu situation, but in a regular essay assignment, you want to incorporate both ideas and examples from research and from experience or primary sources, etc.
