...Revision isn’t really looked on as important to some people; however, it’s actually one of the most important aspects in writing. Before I started my observations for Mrs. Miller I had gone to a different teacher at a different school. This teacher did not once acknowledge the importance of revision. I even spoke to him about it and he stated, “It’s not something that needs to be taught.” I figured that was cue for me to leave and find a new place to observe, and I am very well happy with my choice to leave because if it wasn’t for that I wouldn’t have found Mrs. Miller. Mrs. Miller loves revision. She has this really interesting approach to revision that I never would have thought of myself. So, she had mirrors that she brought in for every student. She asked them to look at themselves and write down anything they thought. She asks them to reflect on what they saw...

...General Writing resources and Requirements NOTE: Please use this as reference for each writing assignment! Your grade may be adversely affected if you do not follow all of these requirements. Email or call your instructor if you have questions. The required literary essays for this course demand careful planning, drafting, revising/editing, and correct documentation. The following resources and requirements provide instruction on writing, research, and avoiding plagiarism. Carefully review them before writing your literary essays. Plagiarism Plagiarism encompasses more than the use of printed sources without giving proper credit. It means handing in writing in the name of one person that another person has composed, revised, edited, or proofread without the instructor's approval. Accordingly, the following guidelines are set down, and you must study and understand them from the outset. The instructor will assume, since this issue is clearly discussed, that you will be responsible for understanding and applying it. Any fact that is not common knowledge, any idea, phrase, or paraphrase that is taken from a printed source, from a lecture, sermon, or radio broadcast must be documented. Any work submitted in English 102 will be understood to be the work of the student submitting it and his work alone. Taking credit for someone else's proofreading ability, suggestions, ideas, or words is plagiarism. An exception to this definition is group work assigned and directed...

...July 2013 Dear English 122 Students, First and foremost, I’d like to thank you for reading my letter. The purpose of this letter is to inform you on what to expect in English 122. For those who have taken English 121, you know that this class teaches the basics of informal writings. English 122 teaches several different forms of writings which include analysis, synthesis, and research papers. One of the main keys to succeed in this class is to come with an open mind. I find that critical reading is important in English 122. One of the main keys to succeed in this class is to understand the readings. One of the three assignments that were given is the critical analysis. I find that if you understand the readings than you will do well on this assignment. Another assignment given was the synthesis. It is important to make it a habit to finish your readings and give yourself time to analyze what you’ve read and have ideas on what you want to reflect in your writings. The purpose of this assignment is to find one common theme in two or more articles the instructor assigns. I find the most important aspect of writing is to always have a thesis. Lastly, you will have a research paper. This writing should be easy due to all the papers you will write that will lead up to the research paper. Be willing to learn and keep in mind that you will succeed if you do exactly what the instructor says. Good...

...ween Essays and Research Papers Not all writing assignments are created equal. We’re sure this is something that students around the world have discovered – the hard way. It almost seems purposefully unfair. One type of writing is difficult enough, but teachers want to throw all different writing brands, styles and formats into the mix. You’ve got APA paper, term papers, research papers, standard essays, reports, etc. Amidst all these writing assignments, two stand out as the most commonly assigned. Essays and research papers are, above all, the biggest and most common headache for students. However, understanding the crucial differences between these two assignments may help students to tackle them better in the future. What is an Essay? An essay is a simple composition with three basic parts: the introduction, the body, and the conclusion. The introduction is the first sentence of the essay, and works to introduce the topic of the piece, as well as the writer’s response. An essay could centers around a) the writer’s response to a question, b) an examination of a topic, c) a reaction to a text or d) an opinion supported be evidence. The evidence provided in an essay can center around personal experiences or unbiased factual support. The conclusion of an essay works to sum up the writer’s major points, opinion or position. In essence, an essay is a composition used to examine a topic in a brief but detailed and organized way. Most essays only span a few pages, and some only...
