This class has made an immense contribution in my writing journey. Taking this course has brought
me out of my comfort zone and made me immerse myself in a variety of essay topics I was not
familiar with. This was all new territory for me, but I've managed to get through it and along the
way I learned new techniques and writing styles. With the help of the Writing Hub, instructors and
my peers I managed to grasp a great deal of information on ways to improve on my writing. They all
helped me along the process of writing all three of the writing assignments. The very first
assignment was writing the analysis paper on the article of "Making Climate Change
Understandable". I started off very confused especially because a new word was introduced to me,
warrant. I was not confident with my analysis skills and now I had to include a warrant. In class
worksheets and explanations by the instructor really helped me understand the prompt and structure
of the paper. When I got to class one morning, most of the students had annotated the article when
reading. I, on the other hand, had never even thought of annotating the text. I know it seems like
such an obvious and essential task to do, however, the idea had never been suggested to me in my
previous writing classes and unfortunately had not crossed my mind. Thus, that was one major tip I
learned here. From there on out I began to annotate all assigned texts, which was major help during
my writing process. Another

As a student, I am aware of my susceptibility to many forms of improper writing techniques that
hinder my ability to produce a well–written paper. While I was aware of most of these incorrect
practices, I found myself unfamiliar with many ideas covered in the preliminary chapters of Who
Says? The Writer's Research. Prior to reading chapters 1, 3, 4, and 9, I had never acknowledged the
concept of information literacy and all of its various components. Admittedly, I had previously
regarded literacy as the ability to read and write, and never thought it could be a method of
interpreting information. Furthermore, I found the many ways in which plagiarism is manifested
into a writing very interesting, as I had never been aware of other forms of plagiarism besides
copying a text word for word. While I found these ideas to be of tremendous value, I found the most
efficient way to create a thesis the most helpful, as I usually struggle with crafting a singular idea
when I am producing an essay. With these tools for writing, I will now be able to act preemptively to
ensure a superior essay. Chapter one introduces information literacy– a concept I found notable.
Information literacy is defined as "the ability to know when there is a need for information, to be
able to identify, locate, evaluate, and effectively use that information for the issue or problem at
hand (infolit.org, United States Government" (Holdstein 3) Furthermore, I found it interesting that
information literacy is

Writing Techniques That Appeal to Readers Essay
Writing Techniques That Appeal to Readers
Anyone who will be required to write at any time, no matter what the function of the writing, should
learn good writing techniques that appeal to readers. Every type of writing should possess
something that will draw the reader into the words to make the reader feel that he can relate to what
he reads. Many techniques can accomplish this goal of writing. Diction
, organization, description,
and titles are all key parts of an essay that combine the author's thoughts and teelings in an effective
manner.
Diction plays and extremely crucial role in all forms of writing. Word choice can make an essay ––
whether it is illustrative, narrative, or persuasive –– more easily understood.

She does this by using examples from the past to back her main ideas. In the essay, "Unlikely
Learning," Mary Kemmerer uses chronological order to explain how she passes her day in school.
Danielle Trasciatti's essay, "Blue Band Emotional High" uses some spacial organization although the
primary development is chronological. The author uses smaller, minor points to support the main
idea. Through the use of these forms of arrangement, the authors effectively expressed their points
in a very clear and discemible manner.
Another aspect that makes writing good is description. Description not only makes reading more
enjoyable, but helps the reader feel as if he or she is involved in what is going on in the essay. It also
adds life and reality to the writing. One essay that uses good description is "Blue Band Emotional
High." Danielle Trasciatti uses description to paint a mental picture and helps the reader feel part of
the experience. She does it with description like, "the smell of the dirt mixed with sweat filled the
hot and humid air. Chalk was floating around everywhere and was smeared all over the dirt around
the 25 yard line." Description brings the reader in and keeps him reading . A piece of writing would
be incredibly boring if there would be no description to interest the reader and help him create his
own picture of what is being

Rhetoric Techniques In My Writing
Being exposed to new styles of writing isn't the easiest thing to adapt to and finding new techniques
and how to use them is very difficult as well. Understanding rhetorical devices helped create tight
connections that readers can mesh with or relate to at a young age. I'm now able to link personal
connections in my writing as I've begun to experience new areas of life that the authors love to
discuss. Even though it's not an easy process learning new topics and forms of reading and
literature, I began to do what was better for myself and practice some of that on my own time as I
prepared for the SAT test.
During sophomore year, we'd practice annotating, and analyzing poetry for inspirational purposes
and to perfect our craft. Poetry is my

Free Writing Technique
I have always preferred the listing method, so I completed the free writing technique for contrast.
While free writing on the topic, I felt like I was doing really well, and thought that I might actually
prefer free writing over the listing technique. Once I had completed my free writing, I realized that I
had told a story on the subject, which was performed very narrowly minded, not leaving me any
mind broadening ideas. What I decided to do next was, list ideas and words that pertained to the
subject. This technique was head over shoulders more suitable for me, one word lead to another
idea, then another. Even though I personally prefer the listing technique, I think that I found positive
points in both, and also negative points. I noticed

Pre Writing Techniques Essay
PRE WRITING TECHNIQUES
Prewriting is the first stage of the writing process, typically followed by drafting, revision, editing
and publishing. Elements of prewriting may include planning, research, outlining, diagramming,
storyboarding or clustering etc. Prewriting is important because it helps you generate ideas for
writing
.
Some of the prewriting techniques are:
1. Outlining
2. Free Writing
3. Thinking maps
4. Cubing
5. Directed Questioning
6. Note making and note taking
7. Brain storming
8. Clustering
9. Charting
10. Scanning
The detail of each skill along with its examples is given below. 1. Outlining
An outline is a document that briefly summarizes the information that will be included in a paper,
book, speech, or
...show more content...
Note taking is a technique which is used when a person is reading or hearing something for the first
time and he is trying to jot down the key information so he can use it later. Note making is when you
return to those notes and make notes on them. This means you just go through notes, put things into
your own words or summarize them and highlight key points. This technique is useful while
gathering information for a respective article from books and lectures etc. Examples: 1. This
technique is helpful when you are going to study a language other than you mother tongue. Because
it is not easy to remember a lot of knowledge and vocabulary of the secondary language in one
attempt. So there will be a need to read it again to learn and remember more about new language.
2. If you are attending a technical lecture (e.g. related to some machine or something else), it is a
good practice to make lecture notes because you might need them to make comprehensive
understanding of the topic.
7. Brainstorming
It means thinking of as many ideas as possible in a short amount of time. Brainstorming involves
capturing all of the thoughts, ideas, and fragments in your head and writing them down on paper.
Brainstorming is an informal way of generating topics to write about, or points to make about your
topic. The important point about brainstorming is that there should be no

"The Things They Carried Analysis Paper Within the book "The Things They Carried", the author
uses numerous writing techniques to dramatize the situation, and get his point across. This type of
writing is very suiting due to the emotional and intense content in the passage. To help convey this
intensity, the author will do things such as addressing the reader directly, to creating a series of lists,
or even just making the paragraphs extremely long. One of the first and most noticeable
characteristics of the writing, is how personal and intimate it is between writer and reader. Most
authors would generally tell the story and be done with it, but not Tim Obrien. He wants the reader
to come along on the journey with him, and to experience everything that he did, which is why he
constantly asks, "What would you do". This personal style makes the reader stop and deeply
consider the options just as young Tim had to. Should one do the honorable thing and fight, or
follow his or her morals and flee to Canada. Everyone whom reads the novel will be able to relate
and connect on a deeper level, because most people at some moment in time have felt those very
emotions that Tim

The human mind does not generally process words in s poetic manner as if the words were coming
off the pages of a Dickens's novel, but rather in a cruder list format. This seems to make the writing
more human and relatable so as for the themes to be more easily understood. Additionally, the list
writing lets the reader see how truly overwhelmed and hectic the author is, as all he is able to do is
notice things at their basic levels. He can't handle everything, so he just acknowledges it, like look at
that, oh that's there, and so on, overall, this method tends to give a realistic feel to the writing, letting
the reader view the existing

Essay Comparing Two Writing Techniques
Techniques in writing Albert Einstein once said, "You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare
for war." Writers frequently use figurative language to demonstrate and emphasize what they wish
the audience to acknowledge. Irony is a situation in which the opposite happened rather than what is
expected. Imagery is a figurative language that uses the five senses to represent an idea. Structure is
how the writer organized his lines. Many writers use irony, imagery, and structure in their writings
to protest war. One of the techniques that the authors use to prove and emphasize an idea is by irony.
During the war, soldiers "tumbled in the yellow trenches/ Raged at [their] breast, gulped, and died...
War is kind" (Crane 13–16). This shows irony due to the fact that war is never kind for it ends
innumerable, innocent lives. The soldier's mother is "so happy and proud because... [his son] made
people crumple" and ended their lives (Powers 9–10). It is ironic that his mother, who is a Christian,

Because of the obstacles of the war, the author "have said [he] wanted to die... wanting to be asleep
forever" (Powers 1–2). There is only one long sentence because the author did not use any periods.
This shows how Powers' writing is a chaos, and how the war have made the author broken. Fighting
in a war is rigorous "[b]ecause the land was mined and booby–trapped... Because [anyone] could
die... Because the nights were cold" (O'Brien 10–14). The author keeps repeating "because" to
acknowledge the readers concerning the matter of the harsh, painful idea of war. Whitman has said
the phrase: "Beat! beat! drums! – blow! bugles! Blow!" multiple times in his poem (1). Whitman
keeps repeating the phrase to let readers know that once someone fight in a war, they would never
forget everything, even the terrific sound effects of the bombs and rifles. Writers use structure in
their writings to reveal their

Writing Techniques In Frankenstein
Young Author, Mary Shelley has directly advanced our view on the world and have caused us to
become skeptical of one's knowledge constantly, as we deeply engage in her writings. She has used
writing techniques that were beyond her time along with utilizing complex methods to convey
information to the targeted audience. Her intense, fictional stories compel readers and draw in
various audiences of all ages. Shelly's life story is one of the most tragic, sorrowful tales is on it
own, as it has influenced many of Shelley's novels, and is oftentimes displayed in her woks. One of
her most famous novels, that has made its mark in the history of literature, is Frankenstein
. This
novel revolves around a, what is known as a "mad scientist", Victor Frankenstein.

He visions his terrible monster and is abhorred, causing him to abandon it . The monster and Victor
go through tragic misfortunes and fight against each other in order to seek what they believe is
justice. In multiple famous literary works, the author has created a developing relationship between
the two protagonists and have usually at one point constructed the story in so that, one protagonist
has a change in heart or personality. This advancement over throws readers and often acts as a rising
action or climax of one's story. However Shelly has took this once subtle innovation and has given it
a new meaning in her novel, Frankenstein, as she has developed a relationship between the two
protagonists, Victor Frankenstein and the monster, that cultivates the novel forward, further
grabbing the reader's attention. Shelley's complex, and artistic style of writing was emphasized when
caught intonating a distinct, analogous relationship between Victor Frankenstein and the monster, as
they both experience feelings of confinement, seeked knowledge and devotion to a dangerous
extent, along with carrying a vengefulness towards one each

Emily Dickinson's Use of Language Techniques
Emily Dickinson, a female poet from Amherst, Massachusetts, was born in the 19th century. But
because of the status of women at the time, the originality in her poems were seen as unusual and
did not get the praise it should've gotten or even had a chance to be seen for its ingenious and
original use of language techniques. What is most commonly seen in Dickinson's work is the use of
the dash. She has used the dash in many cases for many different and appropriate reasons. A lot of
the time the dash is used to create stillness or for us to feel what it's like to be and see in the
personas view. Like in the first line of 'I heard a Fly buzz when I died', the dashes create a stillness
that would be felt in the room of the vigil. Also, in

Another technique she uses is changing the rhythm of the poem. She changes or creates a beat or
rhythm in the poem to help us feel the pace of the text. A perfect example of this is in the poem 'A
Bird came down the Walk ––', because this poem has, starting with the first line, a number of six
syllables, then the next line having eight syllables and so on. This means it is iambic tetrameter.
With this beat, it emphasises the movement of the bird. Because a bird does not walk like us, this
rhythm gives us an image of the bird hopping down the walk. Whether it be a strange but very
intelligent use of the dash, or the slight alter of words to make the perfect sounds, Emily Dickinson
was able to use completely original methods to make her poems exceptionally effective at bringing
forward the meanings or just small importances of her poems. So even though her works were only
found in 1890, four years after she died, at least the people of today can still praise it

Essay On Content Writing Techniques
There are many different writing techniques one can utilize when content writing for a webpage.
Marketing products online is vastly different than the writing you would see in a novel. Visitors to a
web page typically spend less than 30 seconds on that page before moving to the next one, so you
have to make your content snappy and to the point! The more time they have to waste searching for
the information they need the less chance you have of selling your products. Webpage design and
content are crucial factors when it comes toonline marketing. Not only do you have to factor in what
your readers want to see, however you have to hit keywords so that your site will get a good ranking
when it is put through a search engine algorithm. This

If you're wondering why this would be so important, 60% of the first clicks in a search engine are
accounted for in the first five results. This means if you want to get customers on your webpage, you
better utilize SEO. If you are serious about boosting your webpage, Eminent SEO has great tips on
how to improve your SEO and can even do it for you. They can help with anything from marketing,
SEO and content writing to give your site more visibility.
Writing for your web page audience
First rule, never try and get too fancy. Typically, people will briefly skim through your web page,
meaning it's likely that all those creative minute ideas that popped into your head were not even put
to good use. Research actually suggests that only 16% of readers read every page on a web site.
Many people are online because they are in a rush; they want their information now. They don't
want to have to sift through line after line of creative writing to find the information they are looking
for. Granted, as a writer there can be a fine balance to this, as you don't want to become a robot
writer. Adding in some creativity here and there can add interesting aspects to a webpage. However,
for the most part you want to keep it as simple as possible for your information–hungry audience.
Secondly, make sure you are writing for a lazy audience. Now I do not want to stereotype a lot of
online users, but the easier something can

Essay on Learning Writing Techniques
Over the past few months, I have learned several different writing techniques. While all of the
different types of papers were difficult to write, I believe that my writing skills have improved.
However, I did not understand all of the assignments, but I did try to do my best on all of them. I
should have used more transitional words. It is true that I have not had very much writing
experience and the writing process is difficult for me. Sometimes, I do admit, it takes days to
complete one assignment. I also have to write an essay several times before it sounds right. I did not
know where to place a comma in a sentence, and had quite a few run–on sentences. I also learned
how to do effective research on a subject. Additionally, I learned

In addition, I did not consider the amount of research that I needed to make an effective argument.
In the middle of the assignment, I wanted to abandon it. I am glad that I continued writing it though.
Research in the library labs was very helpful and informative. The techniques that I learned helped
me find web sites that were not biased. I felt that most of the research has creditable information.
Many people make web sites that are not credible and it is always good to select scholarly sources
when writing research papers for school. When one researches a subject, you should always keep
good records. I am a disorganized person, and very careless. Sometimes during the research process,
I lose information that I researched. Although, the paper was quite confusing at times, I felt I did a
good job. I am also quite surprised how well this paper turned out and believe, other people might
confirm the improvement of my essays. I have completed the paper. In order to accomplish this, I
used organization, better use of punctuation, and transitional words.
Furthermore, I did not understand an effective quote sandwich. The second assignment was difficult
for me. For example, when quoting someone, one should write something such as: Balko points out
that, he is upset with insurance companies (Balko 158 ). This effectively introduces who is saying
what. In addition, it is an example of a paraphrase, because I am using my own words. However,
Mr. Balko, failed to do this in his

Writing Techniques of Emily Dickinson Essay
Emily Dickinson is one of the most interesting female poets of the nineteenth century. Every author
has unique characteristics about him/her that make one poet different from another, but what cause
Emily Dickinson to be so unique are not only the words she writes, but how she writes them. Her
style of writing is in a category of its own. To understand how and why she writes the way she does,
her background has to be brought into perspective. Every poet has inspiration, negative or positive,
that contributes not only to the content of the writing itself, but the actual form of writing the author
uses to express his/her personal talents. Emily Dickinson is no different. Her childhood and adult
experiences and culture form
...show more content...
The controversy surrounding Emily Dickinson is her odd lifestyle and her tendencies to be
somewhat of a recluse. She is sometimes considered abnormal because she does things differently
from most others. She spends much of her life dressed in white and withdrawn from much of
society. Of course, her peers take this negatively, but what they do not understand is that her being
so private is more of a meditation to her, instead of a hiding. She just wants to escape the pressures
she feels are normally required of women. She does not want to be a servant to sick and elderly. She
feels she has more potential for her mind to grow, and those obligations would just be hindrances to
her writing (McQuade 1255). Her childhood and her staying out of society as an adult, along with
many other aspects known and not known, influence her poems and the style in which she goes
about writing the works. Her techniques of writing are completely different from any other writer,
whether prose or poetry
. Dickinson composes her phrases by marking them off with a dash, placing
a space before and after. This small maneuver places more emphasis on her "impress of the mind in
its analysis of experience" (McQuade 1256). Her slant thymes and unique form of expression
produces more of an oddness to the audience.
One of Emily Dickinson's unique forms of writing is her excessive use

Writing Technique And Sentence Structure
MWP4 Final
Writing is a tool used in many subjects, and it has a great deal of importance in our society. In this
article written by Fish, the reader is given his perspective on what a writing course should
encompass. Fish begins the article by pointing out the problem with english composition classes
today. On the first page he mentions how one day ,while grading papers, he noticed that his graduate
students did not write clean proper sentences. Fish took it upon himself to find out why students lack
simple writing skills and how english composition professors can fix it? After finding the answers to
his questions Fish came to the conclusion that the only way to teach writing is by focusing on
technique and sentence structure. He believes that once a student masters the skills it takes to write
then they can write successfully. Writing is used daily and it is important that we master the ability.
Fish has a good argument that supports the focus on writing technique, but he misses the importance
of other writing factors such as evidence, audience, and rhetoric
.
Fish is no amauetur when it comes to writing or teaching writing. In the second part of the article he
gives the reader a resume showing off his full writing career. It is clear that he puts high importance
on writing. While he searched for a better way to teach students how to write, he came to the
realization that focusing on writing for the sole purpose of writing is the best way to improve. The
ACTA also agrees

I did not introduce the person effectively. For example, when quoting someone, one should write
something such: as Balko points out that, he is upset with insurance companies (Balko). This
example is in my own words and is an example of a paraphrase. I quoted people and then would not
write what I thought about the quote afterwards. When doing this in an essay, the teacher has no way
of knowing what the student is trying to convey. A proper quote should start with an introduction.
After the introduction, you have to say what the person has said, followed by what you think about
what they said. After doing this, a student should cite the author by using parentheses. I did not
know that a writer was supposed to do this. My first paper was very inadequate.
Additionally, I also cited sources and then forgot where I got the information. However, the use of
citing information and research was also one of my debilitating points. Nevertheless, I believe after
the reminders, corrections, and proofreading that needed pointing out to me, helped me improve in
this area.
Research in the library labs were very helpful and informative in spotting web sites that were biased

Techniques Used In My Writing
Your time,place,and tools are very essential when it comes to writing. In order for my paper to be a
100% perfect, I have to be in a certain environment. For instance, being in my room with no
distractions helps increase my thinking skills. My room is peaceful and quiet, which allows me to
focus on completing my assignments. Libraries and computer labs are not really my favorite places
of writing because I do not feel as comfortable. Also, sometimes the temperatures are not warmer
than what I am use to and can control, so I can not concentrate. In addition, I would prefer not to
write in the mornings because I would not be as alert as I would be if I wrote an essay in the
evening. Furthermore, I have more time to my self at night. Daylight

Free Writing Technique
I really understand your point about free writing and based upon looking at this thread it would
seem that a lot of students also share some of your views regarding free writing. I think it's just that
for some writing in a short period of time without using proper punctuation can be a bit difficult
since in that respect you are throwing a key part of what you have learned about writing out the
window in order to write like a mad man for ten minutes.
However when it comes to free writing that is not the only technique that you can use as another
free writing technique that I have found quite handy is length–based free writing. Basically, the way
it works is that instead of setting a time limit, you set yourself a length limit (say maybe one

Evaluate interpersonal and written communication techniques. Interpersonal communication
techniques Body Language – I have used it while I am speaking to someone to explain thing better
as well as to get others attention to me (engage the others). I have also used correct body language
while others speaking so it showed that I am interested. Advantages of body language was I have
manage to explain everything and get my point across and also I have manage to receive
information from others without interrupting them. However disadvantages of body language was
that it could be offensive to people who has different background or culture than me. This would be
problem as communicator may offend other person even though he/she didn't mean to. To avoid
offending other communicator(s) we should ensure we are using correct body language and also
have knowledge about others background or culture. Verbal Exchange – I have used this technique
to communicate with others as well as give information to and receive information from others.
