(Sentence-Level Error) – Control sentence-level error (grammar, punctuation, spelling)

Framing Statement – Learning how to put my own voice into my writing has made my writing much better.

Before English 110 as I’ve mentioned before I was not at all the best at integrating quotes. I also think I had a passive voice and struggled putting my own voice into writing I was turning in for a grade. I think I was in a strong place when it came to sentence structure and using commas, semicolons and vocabulary but I always believe someone’s writing strengthens overtime. One can never be too good at anything writing wise. I also said at the beginning of the year that I wanted to improve with spelling.

After English 110 I think I’ve gotten much better at integrating quotes into my writing. I also think I’ve gotten much better at putting my voice into my writing. I’ll reiterate that I think writing will always improve with practice so I’m sure my writing has improved in vocabulary and punctuation even if I can’t consciously recognize it. I would also say my spelling has gotten the smallest bit better. Typing on a computer is seeming to help me recognize words that are misspelled even when I’m spelling them so typing out papers like this has definitely been helping teach me how to spell larger words I still struggle with.

Yet this can also be a double edged sword with people who share the values the Westboro Baptist Church have.
