Writing Strengthen My Persuasiveness
I’ve noticed in college, writing is more about effectively and assertively delivering your argument and backing it up with strong and reliable evidence rather than just following a set of paragraphs and guidelines like it is in high school. This year at work, there were couple of instances in which I had to write a letter to few hospital administrations in hopes of convincing them to participate in specific health related events at ASU and the different types of writing have definitely been helpful in strengthening my persuasiveness. The Project that demanded the most from me would be the second project; the definition essay. Starting the paper, I felt strongly about my topic of choice but as the writing progressed I realized how general my

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Thomas Frey's Essay 'Driverless Car'

    In high school, we were generally always taught to write persuasive essays and a few times, an informative essay; however, we really never were required to write a rhetorical essay, so when this topic came up, it really required a lesson on rhetorical analysis itself. As someone who generally does better in conversations, and in school, math and science, writing has always been something that hasn’t come as natural to me. I have really had to write many essay to get to where I can write like I can today.…

    Joseph Williams Argument

    In Joseph M. Williams and Lawrence McEnerney’s Writing in College, Williams and McEnerney discuss the shift from high school writing to college writing where argument, interpretation of expectations, and learning how to make a “good” point in a paper are key to successfully satisfying the instructor’s assignment. Arguments should be convincing, with evidence to support their reasons, and to have counters answering objections and other questions that may go against its favor. Williams and McEnerney write, “-universities hold as their highest value not just the pursuit of new knowledge and better understanding, but the sharing of that knowledge…whatever it is we think, it is never the entire truth. Our conclusions are partial, incomplete, and…

The average teen is always looking for away to escape conformity. Two pieces of work that express a common theme of rebellion and conformity are, The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger and the movie Conspiracy Theory starting Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts. Both pieces express this common theme of rebellious and conformity in a society that simply won’t allow it.…

    How To JEPET Persuasive Essay

    JEPET is one exam that is most negatively talked about amongst students due to such a high failing rate with roughly half of the students at San Francisco State University failing the exam. With so many students failing, we ought to think about what’s causing this dilemma. Who do we blame: teachers, students, or the system? Whatever the case maybe, it is very important that each college graduate must know how to write a clear, well organized, and thoughtful essay. To test students writing skills, JEPET is an excellent tool. SFSU should continue to use the JEPET exam to assess student’s writing ability, but make progress to prepare the students for the exam.…

    Toolbox Ssd Strategies

    “Writing should function to communicate or to foster the writers’ own learning, understanding, or appreciation” (Graves, M. F., Juel, C., Graves, B. B., & Dewitz, P., 2010, p.374). Teachers should have a classroom environment where students can use written words and are encouraged to take risks in their writing while the teacher supports all of their attempts. In addition, “writing strategies should be taught explicitly and directly through a gradual release of responsibility from teacher to student” (Graham, S., 2015). Many students have the same struggles as Kaynia when writing a persuasive paper such as, putting their thoughts onto paper. By providing different strategies to help each student gain an understanding of how to put their…

    Persuasive Esaay

    Presidential candidate Mitt Romney is my choice by far compared to our last president. Romney would be my choice for these reasons: his coal support, his Christian ideas for America, and his plan for lowering gas prices for our country. Romney has continually seen what things need to be done and how to do them to make our country strive. President Obama’ s plan has been attempted but not successful in anyway. We are in a bigger debt now than when he came into office. Obama care is okay for the upper and middle class, but if you make between 20 and 35 thousand dollars a year you have to pay for the healthcare some how.…

    Persuasive Language

    What is language? What does it mean to people? Language is sacred to the Navajo people. Throughout Navajo history there are articles and statements that many of the youth don’t know the Navajo language because of the past history. It has not been a major issue in the Navajo Nations eye’s until the recent Presidential candidate, Chris Deschene was denied to run for Navajo Nation President because he could not speak Navajo fluently. Today majority of the Navajo people are not able to speak Navajo, let alone read and/or write it. Have education and economic status become more important than one’s native tongue? It seems like that is the status on the Navajo Nation. The Navajo language is a valuable tool that is needed…

    English Class Reflective Analysis

    To start off with, the overall environment of being part of an AP/IB English class all throughout high school has made a positive affect on me. This has not only affected my familiarization with college level essays but I know what is expected from a higher level english course. As I have mentioned in my previous essay, I have written papers that were up to seventeen pages long. When I was in high school I often thought, why do I have to write so much, it would annoy me that every month was a new essay, now the idea of writing a lengthy paper has…

    Reflective Essay Rethinks Solitary Refinement

    Over the course of the past three months, I have had the distinct pleasure of testing my writing capabilities through the Introduction to College Writing course. I have always had a passion for writing in all forms, but in previous years, the course work in grade-level English classes have been unchallenging of my writing ability. I have been heavily involved in Bonneville High School’s newspaper through journalism since my freshman year. This allowed me to strengthen my writing capability as I was drafting throughout the entire school year. I have never truly had to apply myself until I enrolled in English 101. Since the beginning of the class, I have faced various hardships while writing essays in unfamiliar styles, such as drafting a response to a scholarly article and synthesizing opposing perspectives. I have learned that I am more than capable in writing in different styles and that all of my work will be quality content regardless of the topic. I overcame the obstacles that have challenged me, and my essays exhibit that I am fully prepared to continue my work in English 102.…

    English 101

    But after reading “They Say/ I Say”, and going through a few classes discussing the text. I now have a deeper understanding of a writer’s audience, and how the importance of narrowing down who you are talking too in your essays is when trying to convince someone of something. Also, something I didn’t realize was that there are various ways and templates on introducing ideas, refuting ideas, summarizing ideas, etc. to help make your argument stronger. These templates in the They Say/I Say reading really gave me a bulk of new ways to introduce my ideas for my essay assignments in class, and really made me a better writer. This led to me seriously changing my writing process. Previously, I would simply sit on an essay assignment for a while and like most people, when the deadline or due date finally sneaks up on me I’d do it. This cycle of procrastinating really hurt my ability to string together strong coherent essays, even in my first two essays for the class. But because of my Professors emphasis on peer review and really the writing process in general, I can proudly say have changed my ways. I’ve now developed a pretty solid routine that includes first prewriting/invention, then drafting, then I revise/editing, then finally I reflect my writing. This has helped me completely avoid writer’s block, an issue I faced before taking this…

    My Writing Process In English Class

    As a student coming fresh out of high school I am still used to writing as I have been taught since I was in middle school. We were taught to outline, make a first draft, have someone read that draft, revise and then hand in the final copy. This is a long and boring process that has not changed and is always so repetitive. We always had to write five paragraph papers about things that would never be relevant to my future. In this class I hope to change my approach and how I feel about writing.…

    Handwriting Persuasive Essay

    Have ever gotten points taken off your grades just because of how your handwriting looks? I believe students shouldn’t be grades on their handwriting. This is because students will spend too long working on their handwriting and too little time studying and doing their work. However, handwriting is important and students should be helped to improve their handwriting so that teachers could read i clearly. I believe that students shouldn’t be graded on their handwriting because children will get low grades for good work and student’s self esteem will drop.…
