Prewriting Reflection

449 Words1 Page

Prewriting of any paper, first entails a topic, without a topic we would have nothing to write about. I like to use Mind mapping, when I write my research papers; I take a whiteboard and put my topic in the center of the board in a circle. Then I add extensions to the topic with more circles that are connected to one another by a single line between one another. These added circles will be my topic of paragraphs and the information I will be discussing within them. I usually do 4-5 sentences within my paragraphs with a closing statement and then transition to my next paragraph. I write about 3-5 different paragraphs and then with a closing statement that backs up the information that I have presented for my readers to read. Mind mapping is the biggest part of writing a paper, due to the changes you make as you develop your arguments or statement that you want to convey in your paragraphs from your mind maps data. …show more content…

Research is a big aspect of a paper; finding facts that support your stated argument “How do the skills you’re learning in General Education courses apply to your future career”. There are many facets of resources in looking for information you're wanting to add to your paper; From The World Wide Web, local libraries, magazines, journals, and newspapers to interviewing friends and family, and the present student body. Once I have a good understanding of the information I am trying to convey to my readers, I start to free-write and this is where I find it fun to just write freely. As I develop my paper I am constantly correcting and changing the papers structure and understanding; to make it streamlined and simple and easy to read. I like to use online paper checkers, friends and family, and other instructors or teachers; to review and give feedback before I finalize my

    I have always had troubles writing the introduction of papers. The introduction is the base and sets the mood of the whole paper. I believe it is the most important paragraph in the paper. But once I develop the introductory paragraph, I find the rest of the paper easier to write. In order for me to better myself in writing introductory paragraphs, I just have to get more in touch with my creative side. After the rough draft, the students of the class would bring their papers to the course and would get into groups to peer review the papers. This would helpful to receive the views of our peers to help edit our assignment. After the peer review of the rough draft, the next step of the writing process was the revision. The revision was when we take the information and opinions from the groups and corporate them into our papers. Also, for the revision, you would offer work days for you to proof read our paper before we had to type our final copy. This was extremely beneficial for us to get your opinion on our paper d...

  • Writing Process Reflection

    401 Words  | 1 Pages

    I start my writing process with a list of possible topics to research. Once I have chosen a topic, I tend to do some initial research to get ideas for subtopics within the paper. I then start my online document and work on my introduction and, more importantly, my thesis or hook statement. I also add a brief explanation of the topic of each paragraph and proceed to look for evidence such as direct quotes to support the body of my paper. After I have found my evidence, I am able to develop my ideas around it. Usually, if I feel that the paragraph does not fully support my argument or topic, I add in more evidence and continue to build the section. While working on my body paragraphs, I also tend to go back to my introduction

  • My Ritual in Writing Papers

    Before I prepare to write a paper I look at the prompt. I then take a smoking break so while I am smoking I am brain storming ideas about what to write about. When I get an idea I write them down one by one as I get ideas. Once I find the perfect spot I start looking at what I brain stormed and look at the main ideas I can write the most about. Once I choose what I want to write about I start structuring my paper. When I see the best structural fit for my sub ideas that lead to my main idea I start writing. Then when I am done I revise it with another smoking break, which helps me see if I can expand on the ideas I already have. If not I just wrap up my paper knowing it was a great well written paper that I gave all my thought into and knowing my professor is going to love my paper.

    ading annotations have improved the way I read. I am more organized and annotating is a good way to track what I have read. By annotating I remember the information I read longer than when I don’t. All the reading has given me practice annotating and I now annotate all the articles that I get from other classes because this has helped me turn annotating in a habit. The reading that I was most engaged in was Just Walk on By: Black Men and Public Space by Brent Staples. Brent told his story beautifully and I felt that I identified with Staples because I have faced discrimination myself. I had different reactions/emotions while reading his story and that’s what made it my favorite because if a story evokes strong emotions from your then the author
