ENG 101 Portfolio
English 101 is a class that looks mainly into the writing process and focuses on the components of writing a good paper as well as the steps it takes to writing different types of papers. For example, we have written papers such as an argumentive paper, a compare/contrast paper, and we are now working on a research paper. While writing the research and agrument papers we have focused a lot of our attention on citing information we find through our research. The reason why we are focused on citing information, is so that we do not plagerize any information that is gained throughout the research process. Also, we have talked about the consequences of plagerism and we have also studied the steps to writing a paper and how much effort it takes to write a well-rounded complete paper. English 101 is a very beneficial class to me because I will use all of the information that I have learned many times in the future when I have to write papers for other classes. I believe that this class is very beneficial and rewarding in the end as well.
Throughout the semester in English 101, it is required that you write different papers so you can get the feel of how to write in different ways. For instance, you are required to write essays that are compare/contrast, argument, research, as well as many others. The essay that I felt I wrote the strongest in was my argument essay. I wrote my argument essay on how public school is more beneficial than homeschooling. The reason why I chose this topic was because I strongly feel that students gain more from attending public schools rather than being home schooled. The reason why I felt like I wrote the strongest in this essay was because I believe I had sufficient reasons for supporting my thesis as well as I felt that I was strongly supported by the information that I had found through my research. Writing this paper had many parts to that could sometimes be difficult but I feel like this essay turned out to a strong and supportive essay.
