Stage One Strategies

Stage One Strategies is all about freewriting, exploring our own ideas, gathering information, and clustering. We also did an exercise on freewriting, but only three students shared their experiences with parties, drug abuse, and role models. They were all good stories.

Stage one

Today we leaned the three steps of free-writing. They are: Stage one: Explore. Stage two: Organize. Stage three: Write. We read as a class again and we each had to choose a topic about stage one which is explore and free-write about it. I wrote about "A good or a terrible party" because I felt like it was the only topic there that I would have the most experience with. Today's class was fun and I feel like I am getting more and more comfortable with my classmates and Ms. Rivera.

See you guys next class. :)

Today in English

Today we learned about the different strategies but focused more on strategy number one. This strategy was about exploring, experimenting, and gathering information. We also did a free writing activity. It seemed easy since grammatical errors did not matter. So overall i am glad to know that i learned something new.

Blah Blah Blah

Today, We learned about the Writing Process. We focused on stage one, which explained different strategies on how to to write. We did and excercise on the first strategy, which is Free-writing. This helped us to jot down ideas, other information, and memories.

We also experimented on Moodle... So CONFUSING!

I'll get used to it... hopefully.

English 100 - 01/31/2011

Today we had another class session in the computer lab. We discussed on stage one strategies, exploring, experimenting and gathering information. We read on the topic of freewriting and also did an activity. Freewriting is much like writing in a journal, we are free to write whatever comes to mind and relay it onto paper. I enjoyed the activity we did because it gave me a chance to speak my mind about the particular topic I chose. We also read an important tip about writing essays is to remember our audience and to write about something that others would be interested to read as well. I believe this is very important to remember because no body wants to read a boring essay, so we must always consider our audience.

Today's class went great.

EN 100 Writing Process Stage One- Jan. 31, 2011

Today we started on Chapter 2 - The Writing Process: Stage One - Exploring/Experimenting/ Gathering Information. Stage one strategies help the writer write better using techniques as to who are you addressing your message to, what you are writing about and learning how to free write. This of course takes practice but sooner or later it will be 2nd nature to the writer. This helps the reader get a better picture of what is being said and done.

We also went through the online class as a trial to get familiar with our first class on Wednesday, February 2nd. I find this as an interesting topic with the "BLAH BLAH BLAH" (Reminds me of Keisha Coles song LOL) but it helps.
