Homework 12/5

If I had the time to revise unit 1, something that I would do is to add more details to my story and to check my grammar. I would also revise my conclusion. Something that my classmates mentioned was to create more contrast in my story line. It would’ve been better if I mentioned why some classes were not as good as the one I was writing about and how it affected me.  Also, I should be less repetitive in my writing so that the reader doesn’t get bored. I would incorporate these things so that my paper is more put together and more clear in what I am trying to say.

Homework due 12/7

Your Final Portfolio project will be submitted a bit differently. Each week’s OpenLab post will count as a part of your Final Portfolio submission and will be graded as such, so make sure you are paying attention to the clarity and structure of your writing.

WRITE: Write a paragraph explaining what you would do to revise your Unit 2 RAB, if you had the time (or why not). You need to mention what you got from the feedback you received (from me and from your colleagues), and why you would incorporate it (or why not). Post this to OpenLab.

REVISE: Spend some time revising your Unit 2 RAB. Use the materials that we covered in class today. You have until Dec 19 to re-submit this paper for an updated grade, but I encourage you to get to this earlier if you want to re-submit other assignments as well.

REFLECT: Part of your Final Portfolio grade includes writing a letter to yourself reflecting on what you’ve learned this semester (due Dec. 19). This letter should be at least 750 words.  Here are some questions to start thinking about before you begin writing this final reflection (it may be helpful to re-read some of your old OpenLab posts, as well):

  • What have you learned about yourself as a reader, writer and scholar this term?
  • How will you be able to use what you have learned this term and transfer that knowledge to other writing situations—either in college or in your community?
  •  How would you compare/contrast work you did early in the semester to now?
  • What was your favorite/least favorite assignment and why?
  • What are some notable lessons that have stuck with you after completing certain assignments?
  • What changed in your writing (reading, thinking) as the genres and assignments changed?
  •  How did you make decisions in your assignments about content and design?
  • What were your early assumptions/beliefs about yourself and writing? Have they since changed? Explain.
  • What was your experience revising assignments?
  • Was there any peer feedback that stands out to you and why?
  •  What was particularly challenging for you in our course this semester and how did you overcome it (or attempt to)?

Homework 12/5

In unit one I made simple mistakes but they affected my writing in very different ways my grammar could of been better my use of the words and periods could of been used a lot more and the structure of my writing could have been a lot  better as I revise my unit 1 assignment I compare it to my assignments and projects I’ve done recently I can see the change and the progression between the two the best way for me to fix this would be to form a new way of understanding writing structures to help me best fit my style of writing and a way of revising my work in a story for the reader to better understand I got a great grade but I know that there’s always room for improvement especially in a area such as writing there’s more ways than one that will help me grow furthermore now that I’ve been able to learn from the recent lectures I now know the proper ways to enhance my writing to get a better grade
