Case study: last week we did our definition essay. I found this kind of writing was very easy for me. The prewriting that our class did was very difficult to keep up with. I think that all this blogger and wiki pages is a little unnecessary and very time consuming. I don’t think it is helping out my writing at all but keeping me frustrated because I can not keep up. I sometimes feel like giving up but I’m not a quitter and hope can pull through. My writing is getting very confused and its getting hard to do simple things like thinking of a topic and writing a few sentences down about it.
Now when it comes to just writing a paper I can do with no problem. The definition essay was fun to do it was the prewriting that I didn’t like. My word was diversity and just the little research I did on the word was invigorating. I learn so many different ways people used the term, some I liked and some I didn’t care for. For me just by doing the research on the term diversity was enough and I already knew how I was going to do my essay. The prewriting stages we could have left out or found a condense way of doing things. It was all too much for me and didn’t help when it came to doing the essay. Maybe for others in class they love sitting in front of their computers copying and pasting things onto web pages. And it helped for them, but I can only speak of my experience of the prewriting and writing of our definitions essays.
