Writing an "A" Paper - 10

Hook-To write an "A" paper in my opinion you have to start the paper off strong. Writing the very first sentence in a way that will want the reader to keep going. Not only does your Hook have to be strong but the rest of your paper as well. The introduction is a very important part of your paper because it contains your hook, Thesis statement and prepares the reader for what their about to read.


Vocabulary- Vocabulary is another important piece of writing a great paper. It shows that whomever wrote it has great vocabulary skills and in a way educate the reader because adding context clues will educate the audience. I myself try to use words like synonyms or related words in my writing. (See how i just did that! Context Clues! lol) 


Repetition- Avoiding repetition is one way to avoid getting a "C" letter grade. Try to avoid repeating words or phrases. I catch myself repeating a lot of words and I try to switch words up. There are many ways to avoid repetition in your paper. One important way is to try to add little pieces of information to prevent repeating sentences. These are the three ways to avoid getting a "C". I hope they help!

Assignment 2- 10

For my first topic I came up with the time when in elementary school every sixth grade class we were given the chance to come up and write our own story. It was called Young Authors. We also had to illustrate our stories. It was very difficult for me to write a story because i had so many ideas in mind. I wanted to write the story that would win the competition and be posted on a billboard in our hallways.

For my second topic I would like to write about my Senior Year in High School when the end of the year approached they prepared us to write an 11 page research paper. We went from getting resources  to making a powerpoint . The research paper decided whether you graduated or not. Its just something every Senior goes through in my High School.

For my last topic i would like to write about my Last semester in my writing class i wrote about why the US should not re-institute the Draft for war. it came out to be three pages long and received an A for the paper. I was very satisfied with the results because that paper was first written with a first draft, then it was proof read and the results of it i received an A.

Why im taking Writing 101-10

The reason why I am taking this class is to enhance my writing skill. To learn more ways to write a better paper. Ever since Elementary School where we all started learning to write short summaries, from summaries to essays, I was that kid who always had trouble knowing what to write. I was the one who would peek over to your friends paper to see what they were writing about. I was also the one who stared at their blank sheet of paper while you heard everyones pencil tips writing away. Now that I am in College and attend a University I want to push myself to learn and pick up techniques that will help enhance my papers.
Writing, to me, is a very important thing we should all know. Everyday we use some type of writing such as writing a letter, posting a status on facebook or posting a tweet on twitter. We all write everyday whether we realize it or not. In our future you never know if we'll need it. Like writing out a prescription or a doctors note for your patient. Writing down a complaint that witness or victim wants to  report. There is writing all around us and I want to enhance and keep my skills alive by taking this course.
