English 111 Lesson 5

Which of the techniques for generating ideas for essays has been most valuable to you? Why?
I really liked using the pro and con to generate ideas for one of the essays. I enjoyed this as it seemed easier for me to locate the information that I would need.

Give an example from the writing you have done so far.Which technique would you choose not to use again? Why?
At the beginning I thought that I preferred clustering but have found that I do not feel that it is something that works for me. It doesn't seem to generate too many ideas as quickly for me.

What have you learned about the writing process and/or about yourself during this lesson?
This lesson was difficult but I really learned more about reading through examples and following through. Doing a lot of the prep work to writing a paper is highly valuable.

What have you learned about the textbooks we are using for this course?
I feel that the writing arguments book is easier to find information needed on writing.

What have you learned about your instructor's expectations of you?
The instructor expects our best in the essays. There are many suggestions given to improve on the writing. I have appreciated the detailed suggestions or direction I have been given in this course. I look forward to this class improving my writing abilities.
