Although it may not be apparent throughout this as a class we have completed various tasks while composing. We have done things that have helped us build out writing process. In my blog post Look What Lizzy Did I highlighter many of my accomplishment I have completed during this course. For this blog post I will be highlighting the some things we have done together as a class. Although we have done more than this here are 10 of the things we have done as a class this semester:
1.) We have all made it.
2.) We learned to make meaning.
3.) We traveled in spiritual, physical, and mental spaces.
4.) We created social connections.
5.) We joined academic conversations.
6.) We built literacies.
7.) We explored various genres.
8.) We engaged in processes.
9.) We applied authorial choice.
10.) We understood what it is like as a writer in today's world.
It may not feel like it, but we all have walked away from this course with more knowledge about writing than we had before. During this course we learned the important of a process. All of the things we accomplish have helped us in one way or another to form a process for our writing.

As this semester is ending I wanted to take time to highlight my accomplishments that I have achieved within in English Composition course here at DCCC.
1.) Lizzy got over her fear of actually going to class.
In this blog post I will talk about the process I used while writing my research paper. I will mention my approaches, processes, and even my struggles I encountered during this piece of work.
For this blog post we had to review a video called Reflective Writing. This video gave more insight on reflective writing. The video stated that we shouldn't focus on details as much, and gear our focus more toward how we felt it at this particular time in life. This video helped me look at how I wrote my life choice memoir, and if I focused less on the details and more on my feelings and others around me.
In this blog post I will reflect my feelings, and what I have learned thus far during my English Composition I course here at Delaware County Community College.
For this post I read and annotated 3 reading from various authors. Here are some quotes by other writers that pertain to my style of writing. I have also provided 3 quotes by me that apply to my style of writing.
Teach Writing as a Process Not a Product (Don Murray) Quote 1: "Instead of teaching finished writing, we should teach unfinished writing, and glory in its unfinishedness." - Don Murray Quote 2: "Prewriting is everything that takes place before the first draft. Prewriting usually take about 85% of the writer's times." - Don Murray Quote 3: " The student is encouraged to attempt any form of writing which may help him discover and communicate what he has to say." - Don Murray The Daily Writing Routines of Great Writers (Maria Popova) Quote 1: "I never listen to music when I'm working. I haven't that kind of attentiveness, and I wouldn't like it at all." - E.B.

Doctorow Quote 2: "What I've learned to do when I sit down to work on a shitty first draft is to quiet the voices in my head." - Anne Lamott Quote 3: "I don't think you have time to waste not writing because you are afraid you won't be good enough at it..." - Anne Lamott My own Quotes: Quote 1: " Your writing should pull your reader in quickly, or else they will pull out quickly. "- Elizabeth Appenzeller Quote 2: " Rough drafts are a representation of hard work, and not mistakes. "-Elizabeth Appenzeller Quote 3: "You don't need any type of experience in order to write. You just need your mind and a pen. "-Elizabeth Appenzeller |
