Introduction Post
I am not the best writer, and I need to improve my skills in multiple areas. I am decent at the focus of a paper, but I struggle with conventions and grammar. During high school I did not have a lot of formal writing assignments, which included only 2 major research papers that only were approximately 4 pages in length, a few persuasive essays that were only about 2 pages, and some comparative and reactionary papers dealing with articles or novels discussed in class. In English 15 I hope to become a better writer overall. Which includes strengthening the content of the paper and having a better word choice to enhance the topic of the paper.

Yeah, we'll be working on longer papers throughout this semester, with the last one being 5-7 pages. "Conventions and Grammar" can be something of a pain but we'll work through them. I find that most students actually need more work on style, structure, and getting their ideas on paper--more than they think they do. So there is lots to work on.
