Brainstorming

1. The writing that I do for school is different then other kinds of writing I do because it is usaully more thoughtful. I don't have to write much of anything besides for school. Just a email here or there really, but there is not usaully much context to it.

2. The most important aspect of writing to me is did I make a point and is it claer to the reader. I think my teachers would say the same because they taught me that.

3. The process that I go through when I write starts with an outline; What do I want to say and how do I want to say it. Next I make sure I know how I am going to do that while thinking about what is being asked of me. Then I just write, getting as much information down down as possible without getting lost in my own thoughts. I usually do this step a few times while stopping to read every now and then, and making any revisions that pop out. After all that then I read and revise until I can say ok I want someone else to read this.

4. I think I am a good acidemic writer, or at least I have always gotten good grades and nice comments. I do think I have problems with my thesis. It is not usually clear to my readers exactly, or it is missing some aspect of what is included in my essay.
