An adept writer usually depends on an existing way of writing which they learnt from others. The basic procedures of academic writing can be found in the templates which would help students to be familiar with conventional writing patterns and to make more sounded arguments. The most essential template in the book is the “they say, I say” template that teaches students to react to the arguments made by other people. The authors believed that a well-argued academic writing should include the opinion of others so that readers will know why there is a need to make an argument. The arguments that writers respond to do not have to be an eminent writer or the audience. From the template, we can learn that we do not need to be restricted to agreement and disagreement. We can agree and disagree at the same time. In addition, templates can help students to make more complicated moves…
There a several Steps to Solving a Problem Process and in the paper I will use three of the many stages to solve one of the problems I struggle with on a weekly and daily basis. Stage one of the creative process – searching for the problem – emphasizes the importance of responding to problems in triggering one’s creativity (Ruggiero, 2009). Stage two centers on expressing the problem or issue innumerous ways and finding the most creative and helpful ideas. Obtaining the information necessary to solve the problem or issue is the objective of the third stage. The fourth and final stage of the creative process deals with producing the ideas necessary to solve the problem or determine a stance on the issue. Search Considering the four stages in the creative process that work to solve an issue or problem, a personal challenge that I can apply the stages to would be in re-evaluating myself as a whole and making life changes to become a better family member, friend and friend to myself. I applied three out of the six techniques described in Ch. 6 to help with finding which areas, specifically, needed the most work.…

Purpose, tone, audience, and content, are ideal in developing academic writing skills. Purpose is the reason for even starting to write about any topic. Often purpose will have the writer choose what kind of paper to write; whether it may be evaluation, synthesis, summary, or analysis. By developing this skill the writer can then set the tone they might want to use. By setting the tone of the paper the writer can control the mood of the paper and control how they feel about the topic. By incorporating tone in any paper, the writer can make a personal connection to the type of audience they are writing for. In connecting with the audience, the writer can evaluate and incorporate the audience’s diversity through their demographics, education level, prior knowledge, and expectations on the paper being written. Learning the audience and their expectations can lead the writer to include good support material or content of the paper. By including good content and supporting material, the writer therefore can focus on what they are going to write about and what the writer is going to discuss about in their topic. The writer must have an audience and purpose before they can start research on content or even set the tone of the paper. In conclusion, in combining purpose, audience, tone, and content, a writer can develop academic writing skills and use those skills for every aspect of writing, which are ideal for academic…

To begin with, through all the writing assignments that I have written so far, I have showed to have the capacity to come out with good ideas. Thinking about possible reasons of the problem, consequences or even solutions to the topic, are all very important as the first step to begin. For instance, while writing assignment number two, I started with questions to make us think how armed guards may not be prepared to work with children, and I listed detailed examples on how its consequences can affect the kids’ welfare. In doing so, it can make the readers think profoundly, and realize that there is more to worry about over its negative consequences. In other words, deeply comprehending the topic helps to increase my and the readers’ critical thinking and develop better viewpoints and conclusions. Having good concepts, motivated me to write well-developed writings.…
Over the years, writing went from being a process to becoming a series of many processes. Brainstorming, drafting, revising are just some of the events that take place in writing. Finding a flow for words can be a greater challenge. Words do not write themselves. Since writing is never an easy process, the first thing I want is a plan. The more disorganized a paper becomes the harder it is to fix. Before I start writing, I read the topic several times to get a complete understanding of what I should be writing. I need to think about the topic before I start writing ideas and quotes down on paper. In order to stimulate my thoughts, I may not start writing until hours later. By doing this, my brain has time to process my thoughts throughout the day; ideas may formulate faster. Webs or outlines become frustrating, so those are usually avoided. I like to pour out all of the words that are on my mind and write them on paper. Without good ideas, an essay will get nowhere. In my writing, I may choose to go one path or many paths. Normally, I choose the path that requires the less amount of effort since time is usually against me. This time is different though. I want to evolve as a writer since writing does not come naturally; it is a process that is learned over time with lots of effort (Knoll 5). It is impossible to know the end product of an essay, but this is why the writing process is a mystery. Regardless of the reason one writes, one must allow their creativity to be explored to allow their writing to develop.…
