Post 7: Two unbeatable strategies to get your Doc2 off the ground!

For my lucky number 7th post, today I will be staring with you the strategies I used to organise my Doc2, and hopefully help you out in the process:)

1. 

Firstly, my favorite strategy of putting together a great piece of writing is by firstly throwing isht at the wall and seeing what sticks, to put it bluntly.

I usually don't have much idea of what the end result is going to be in the beginning. But just by writing, reading and organising, writing, reading and organising, over and over again, I know that it will slowly refine itself into a good piece of work. I will probably go over my doc2 over 50 times before I'm happy with it. 

As the legendary Keith Hamon said, even the greatest of writers usually cannot create a perfectly polished piece of writing on their first attempt. 

2. 

Secondly, by the time I get comfortable with writing and have made a few attempts to put together an introduction, hopefully I will have a good idea of what I will be writing about. If not i'll just keep brainstorming. 

But when I do, I will assemble a very brief skeleton of my essay structure and its main points, which I can then use as a reference to keep my work on track. 

For example after writing, reading and researching over and over a few times, I came up with this basic structure of my doc 2 which I kept to my side in order to reference back to:

Intro - Why you should major in business


P1 - You will gain the most helpful skills, that will most likely equate to real word success

P2 - It will open you up to the largest range of career paths, including entrepreneurial ventures

P3 - Allow you to build a driven and like-minded network whom you can collaborate with to achieve your goals!


Conclusion - Summarise the above main points

There you have it my people, 2 of my favorite strategies of putting together a great essay. As is usually typical for me, just starting the essay is often the hardest part. So if you can use these initial 2 strategies to get your creative flow going, you will be well on your way to achieving greatness in the wondrous world of academic writing. 

Behind you all the way!

Post 5: How to add Authority and Value to my Doc2

Im sure all of my 0 followers are begging the question... (at least the ones that are taking english1101 at MGA) how can I add authority and value to my Doc 2 assignment?? Well, thankfully as always I am here to help you out.  Firstly let's talk about Value. You need to ask yourself what you audience wants. Your audience are likely all to be new college students who may or may not know what they want to do with their lives. And thats ok!  The assignment asks you to help your fellow classmates know what is the best major is to choose, so explain to them why majoring in your chosen major will help them achieve success in their lives.  I personally am going to explain to them why majoring in Business Administration will make them more employable, will give them the skills to start a business of their own possibly, and how it will help them network with likeminded and driven individuals who they can align themselves with! If I was back at square one, and I had no idea why I w...

Post 8: My biggest academic writing issue:/ + why texting is so much easier!

Time to vent:) So there is one significant problem that I struggle with in academic writing.  Referencing.  Especially in APA and/or MLA 8 formatting. I don't know what it is, but sometimes I feel as though I am seriously trying to crack an uncrackable code! Im not sure if everyone experiences the same frustrations with referencing as I do, but I know for sure that for me personally it is certainly the biggest obstacle in my way of getting good grades. I can write a great essay, but proper referencing just hasn't clicked yet.  Since it's assigned of me, I must also add that texting is awfully easier than academic writing because of unneeded referencing. How would you feel if you couldn't send a text unless each statement had to reference appropriate sources!! Me: Make sure you bring your ID to the DMV sis, otherwise they will turn you away. Message failed  - improper citation Me: Bring your ID, you will need it at the DMV! (Georgia DDS).         W...

Post 1. Most important thing to learn in English Composition I

I believe that the most important thing that we can continue to learn, here in English Composition 1, is learning to become more and more competent at ' effectively communicating with others through writing'. This objective encompasses: - Learning how to read and interpret documents written by varying writers - Learning how to write effectively and appropriately to varying audiences I believe that 'effectively communicating with others through writing' as a whole is the most important aspect of this class and will further reinforce students' written literacy and communication skills in order to interact well with others. It is not the most specific learning objective, but it is the most essential big-picture mission that everyone involved in this class must acknowledge and keep in mind when moving forward.  Being able to communicate and interact through writing is essential to achieving almost any goal in life, and certainly is essential for doing well in college!...
