The Importance Of My Writing Style

Improved Essays
It has taken me a long time to realize how important is to know how I learn best. If you know what style of teaching you respond to best you can replicate that learning environment for other classes and situations. I feel that my writing has changed because of the writing classes I have taken as well as what types of writing required for different class. I have had different experiences with writing and learning how to write correctly throughout my high school career and earlier years; learning different writing styles from different teachers has undoubtedly effected my quality of writing. Writing has never been my strongest class nor has it been my favorite form of expressing my thoughts. My first experiences with writing were in Language Arts in middle school where I learned the basic elements of a paper and grammar and punctuation. This was also my …show more content…
People need to know many writing styles because they will be used at some point in time and it is important to be prepared for anything. I feel that my writing has improved after many years of different teachers requiring different writing styles in their class. My knowledge of writing and different writing styles has grown significantly throughout high school which is helpful for both in and outside the classroom. Learning how to write formal labs and interpretive papers on literature has helped me improve my general writing style because they do share common traits such as support for all arguments made in the paper. Writing does not come easily, it takes time, effort, and determination but in the end it will improve and turn into a strong paper or report. Writing is always important even if it is not my favorite subject, I acknowledge that it is necessary in every profession and it is important to have a strong base of writing to succeed in

    I haven't found that my writing has dramatically been affected however. Meaning, that most of my grades maintained the same GPA, my grammar was still lacking, and generally my ability to construct sentences and paragraphs was for the most part were stagnant.

However, I do believe that my ability to construct ideas and the time in which it takes for me to develop and even write this ideas has dramatically changed. When applying these templates to my writing I have found that writing in general comes easily to me.…

    Project #1: Literacy Narrative I remember walking across the lawn from our tiny add on classroom, up the stairs, and into the second grade class. Walking to my assigned desk directly in front of the window, I sat down in front of my best friend.

    I think that paraphrasing will be the hardest for me to avoid while writing. It seems that sometimes it is hard to write or summarize something that is so well written already. The way I will work around that is to stop and re-read what I am wanting to summarize, take a few important words out of the material I am reviewing and jot those down, then go back and write what is needed to complete my sentence or idea. Once I have completed my writing, I will review and make sure I have properly cited my work. Using the guidelines discussed in our “Read Section”, and following the instructions listed on how to source correctly should avoid paraphrasing mistakes and plagiarism.…

    Have You Developed a System of Writing That Works Most of The Time I really have not looked up different styles of writing let alone realized there was so many different types of it. My method is not necessarily a method per se, I have always for the longest time just wrote down as if I was speaking to someone. That to me was where my biggest praise came from, that I was able to write with such voice and was able to emulate my presence through the pages. When writing for an essay there is a period where I read and reread the question to gather all the information that is needed. Once the question is fully understood, I try to explain myself in full detail.…

    Surviving English Comp 1 Writing Class Writing is one thing I hate the most. It was hard to write an essay for the first time because I did not have the knowledge or concept of this writing style. Before this class, I thought I knew what writing was all about by expressing my thoughts, ideas and feeling. I know now that I had the wrong concept on how to write. I can express my thoughts, ideas and feeling, but if I put them in the wrong contents it does not lead the reader to the point of the essay.…

Furthermore, they differ and each has its own different style of quoting and citation in articles, books, phrases, etc.…

    One of the very first memories I had as a child was lying in bed at night and listening to my mom read stories to me. I would always have my pajamas lying in my bunk bed in my blue paint colored room. Every night before bed I would curl up next to her in bed and pick several books for her to read. As I got older, I would pick bigger, harder, and longer books to read.…

    Over the course of this semester in my English 1320 class I have seen a drastic change throughout my writing style. Although I still have difficulties with a few writing tasks, I believe that I have improved significantly throughout this course. I have found that with my professor’s guidance along with my own personal editing that my grades have increased. Although it is difficult to not get caught up in simply striving for a letter grade or attaining a 4.0 grade point average, I would like to believe that my main goal was different. Of course I would love to achieve those goals as well, but overall my primary goal throughout this class was to become more relaxed and comfortable in my writings, to use new strategies and proper kinds of conventions, and to truly find a way to express my passion on these papers.…
