I can translate my writing process to other work outside of the classroom in many ways. One being when I have a job in the future, I know there will be times where I have to write emails or letters so the things I have learned will be useful. Another way is when I need to find articles and sources, I now know how to see if a source is credible and good to use.
The most challenging assignment for me this semester was the letter to my younger self. It was the first essay I had done in almost 2 years so I found that made it difficult for me. I found it difficult figuring out what to write about and how to make sure my essay made sense.
I do think my writing improved this semester. I previously struggled with doing sentence fragments and doing run on sentence and I believe that has improved. Going to the writing center and doing peer review really helped as well.
In the article, Give Black Households More Economic power, the author mainly focused on if education and controlling for income would fix the economic gap, but I plan to discuss how there are other factors/elements that have also affected African Americans economic and financial positions.
1. I plan to discuss how African Americans are forced to have more credit card debit than Whites.
2. Also after graduating college, on average African Americans owe more student loans than Whites.
Logos are used in making the counter argument because the authors uses graphs and statistics from reliable sources. I believe the audience are people who want to learn more about why African Americans are at a financial disadvantage.
It is important to evaluate a source to make sure the information is up to date and credible. The most important thing I learned from reading “Evaluating Sources” is establish how current a source is. This will change the way I read and think about an article, because now I want to make sure to pay attention to the sources and how credible they are. After reading this information will change how I look for articles and information on the web, because I do not want to include data into my writing that isn’t correct and not from a trustworthy source.

This week, my colleagues hosted a discussion on the policies that the 2020 presidential candidates should focus on in order to help black wo
In this article, Black-white wage gaps are worse today than in 2000, written by Elise Gould, the audience are people who want to learn more about the racial wage gaps. The purpose is to inform the readers about how much worse the gap has gotten in the past 20 years.
I found this image on the United for a Fair Economy website, on a post discussing the Black Lives Matter movement. The intended audience would be people who want to learn more about some of the problems African Americans have to deal with. The purpose of the image is to help educate people with facts. I believe that the image appeals to logos since there many statistics in the image. The image used proximity by grouping the information by ideas, for example the information discussing housing and police violence in 2015 were put into different sections. This image affects the understanding of my subject because it is talking about social justice and the Black Lives Matter movement is something that has been talked about a lot recently.
While reading, “How to write the perfect sentence”, a piece that stuck out to me is when the author wrote “Rookie sentence-writers are often too busy worrrying about the something they are trying to say and don’t worry enough about how that something looks and sounds.”. That stood out to me because I have noticed while I write, I pay more attention to what I am saying than what it looks like and if it makes sense. Which I believe affects the overall cohesion of my writing.
In the past whenever I had to write papers my friends would always read my essays and give me suggestions on how to make them better. Some suggestions that were most helpful to me was when they told me sentences in my writing did not make sense or I should just delete the whole sentence. And also when they informed me I had run on sentences. I think the only type of suggestion that was least helpful, where when they told me I should change something in my essay and they did not give me any suggestions on how to make it better. I think what I like about the peer review process is that it’s someone new reading it and they can give me great tips/ideas that I did not know would benefit my paper.
In the article, Give Black Households More Economic Power by Nick Maggiulli, the articles argument was successfully, and in the article the author uses logos and ethos. I believe that the intended are people who want to learn more about what African Americans have to do with pertaining to median net worth compared to other races but also the economic inequality they experience.
Something that suprised me while reading the article was how many great tips there were to have a successful website. Some techniques I can incorporate are mixing up my word choice but also following the inverted pyramid model. I think these techniques are important because I wouldn’t want to use the same words and I think the inverted pyramid models, would be a great outline to use while writing.
My pre-writing process was a lot of brainstorming but also trying to answer the questions put into the directions. My revision process was just rereading my essay multiple times making sure it made sense and that I did not have any grammatical errors. I think brainstorming before I started writing my actual essay was the most useful to me. Something I would like to improve about my writing process, is making sure to find time to make an appointment at the Writing Center so that I can have another persons opinon on my essay other than my father and myself.
I would say 2 people who have negatively affected my writing where my 11th grade, AP Language and Composition teacher and my 12th grade, AP Literature teacher. To me personally they didn’t really teach that good, and the work that they assigned was super easy so I didn’t feel like I wasn’t being challened to be a better reader and writer. Although they were nice teachers, I think they could’ve done a better job giving us work that would my classmates and I succeed in our future English classes.
My experience with writing has been okay. I personally enjoyed doing class discussion because it is interesting hearing what other people have to say, and to see if our opinions on a certain topic where the same. I kind of like research papers because I think it’s interesting researching more about different topics but I find it hard to write multiple pages about one topic for a paper. I also don’t like analyzing books, and trying to figure out the meaning of the text and what the writer was trying to tell the readers.
