Composition 1

Portfolio Presentation

By: Jason North

December 2000

I never thought as myself as a great writer but I have learned the write way to organize a paper and make a correct thesis statement. I also found out that by organizing your paper before writing it will make it a lot easier to write.

1- I improved in the way I organize papers.

See Slide 4

2- I found my sentence structure was better toward the end of the semester versus the beginning.

3- I can now sit down and write without worrying if it sounds stupid.

4- Now I can write something and go through it and organize it and see what I have done wrong.

Writing an effective summary is one of the most important things in writing an essay. Citing a source is something that has helped me when I am short of information. I have learned that by having a good thesis statement is important in writing.

I think the most important part of a summary is the way it is organized. If the summary is not put together the correct way it will sound wrong or unorganized.

I found the the comparative essay to be one of the best of the papers I wrote. Since I wrote it on dogs I found it easier than most for me to write. Since I know so much about dogs I had plenty of information on them.

To me a good thesis is a statement that explains about what you are going to write about. If the writer does not have a good thesis the reader could become lost in the paper . See Persuasive Essay

I have a goal for next semester when I start Comp. 2. I would like to be able to write for fluently and make myself more clear. By being able to make myself clear and make the audience understand what I am writing about.
