module 02 reflection personalizing the writing process

We’re covered a few very important characteristics of good writing this week. How to write effective sentences and paragraphs, avoiding common errors, documenting your sources, and thinking critically as you write. Now, here’s a scenario that will allow you to practice what you’ve learned.

For any writer, telling one’s life story in three paragraphs can be a challenge, but an exciting one.

For this reflection, write an initial post composed of three sections.

1. Your life story in roughly three full paragraphs.

2. A reflection: what was challenging about writing your life story in three paragraphs? (one paragraph minimum)

3. A Personal Writing Plan. With this assignment in mind, List some areas of written communication on which you’d like to focus in order to become a better writer.

Some areas for writing improvement include (but are not limited to):

grammar and punctuation

sentence structure

paragraph structure

organizing thoughts

using the best wording

writing with clarity
