Post a picture of your Favorite Strategies Sheet and write a 200-300 word framing statement discussing your favorite revision strategies. Have you found any of these strategies useful outside of ENG 110? If so, elaborate. If not, how do you plan to use the skills you have learned in this class on future papers outside of ENG 110?
I tend to rely on the same style of writing as I always have:
Outline my main points -> Expand on main points -> Add quotes and citations -> Make sure the first and last sentence of each paragraph correlate -> Make sure that the last sentence from each paragraph relates to the thesis -> Grammar.
This “Road Map” of my writing style really made me realize how much of a creature of habit I am. I didn’t give it much thought until I wrote out how I write, and it is rather insightful. I feel that this way of writing suits me well, but I also should experiment with other ways of creating text. Outside of ENG 110, this process can be applied to lab reports as well, since my style of writing creates a very logical flow of ideas, which is perfect for scientific papers. I can use this “map” of my writing style to proofread, and clarify any essays or writing assignments I have in the future.
Max,
I’m glad that you’ve found a process that works for you. I’m happy that you can see the connection between one’s writing process and generating ideas. The fact that you entered the class with this connection intact helped place you ahead of the game.
