4. For my peer review process, I look to help them with things that are the most important to their piece. For example, I start by making sure they have a strong thesis and claim sentences. Then I look at their evidence and use of quotes. I don’t really look to make local edits during peer review unless it is something blatant. For example, my first comment on my posted peer review was, “I would reword your thesis. Maybe something…
Learning objectives 5 and 6 are about being able to correctly site my sources and to make local edits. At the bottom of my paper, you can clearly see my works cited is correctly done. My in-text citations are all done properly. I use spell check and the grammar check to catch any mistakes that I don’t recognize myself. My typical errors include spelling mistakes from typing fast that spell check takes care of. I learned to do all of…
2. Our second learning outcome is to be able to incorporate ideas of other’s into our own work. I use quotes from others work either to emphasize the importance of my argument or to support the argument that I am making with facts. Whenever I use a quote, I first introduce the quote. I follow that up with the quote itself, and then a sentence talking about how it relates to my argument. Here is an example of me doing…
In my essay that I posted for my significant writing assignment, I carried out my typical revision practice. I hand write my essay initially, and while I type it into the draft that I hand in, I make global edits. I change the organization of my paragraphs and make sure the order is how I see best fit. After I type everything the first time, I look through and make sure my quote use and introduction for each quote is…
The four parts of this framing letter address the fact that I am able to do all of the learning objectives for English 110.

In English class this year, one of the most important things that I have learned is to write without using unnecessary words, and to effectively portray what I am intending to say. I have learned to cut out things that don’t help articulate the meaning of my writing, and to use vocabulary that is clear. Steven Pinker is an author who wrote an essay titled, “Why Academics Stink at Writing.” In this essay, he discussed how academics are bad at writing because…

The thing that I can best relate to the recursive process that I have done in my life is shooting. Shooting is a process that takes tremendous practice, and little corrections to every miss. You begin by shooting at a target that doesn’t move. You shoot and correct your breathing, posture, and hold on the gun while you do this. Once you have the hang of this, you move on to a moving target. This takes the most repetition and…
