Scatter Brained:
ENGLISH 1001.026
A Response to The 2013 National Listening
Tour from NCTE, CCCC, TYCA, & CWPA
writing students thought process in an
English class usually looks similar to
this: “scatter brained”
Me+Writing=
My thinking process of
writing has me all over
the place asking for
help!
Highschool Never Prepared Me
In highschool I was never challenged. The
only thing I was taught, was how to write a
five paragraph essay. My first week of
college, I was assigned a ten paragraph
essay. If I had a teacher really explain how
to write a research paper, college would be
easier for me. If my first English class is this
hard, what will the other ones be like?
All that my English class from
high school was writing essays,
but I felt like I never actually
learned anything from it… a
teacher or professor can have us
write all they want but what is that
actually going to teach us?
When I try to write I end up
looking like this
Sometimes teachers don’t even realize
how much writing we all do on a daily
basis, what counts as “real writing”? :
Direction of Writing
Present & Future ways I want my
writing
BEFORE:
The ends are a straight line to show
thats the end
AFTER:
The ends are in arrows to show
thats the continuous path i'm taking
When I am writing, I always get distracted and will
get on some social network like Facebook. Since I
do this, I usually do not get my work done on time
or I am cutting it short. I need to focus.
In a health profession, I do not feel
like after college I will be doing a
whole lot of writing, even though I
am forced through classes to spend
countless hours writing papers.
By the end of my learning
journey,in school, I want to be
able to carry weight as a writer:
Most of my writing is done on my
phone or at least some sort of
electronic device.
This is what happens when I start writing, I never know where to
start.
