I have had many previous experiences with writing inside and outside of english courses. I have experienced AP courses in English and I write personal journals daily. What I hope to gain from this class is a different perspective on writing. There isn't anything particular that I would like to engage in class or discussion.

I've had many experiences with writing both inside and outside an english course. For every english class I've taken, their has been different experiences, as for outside of english many classes I took required research papers on a particular topic. From this class I hope to learn to write better and stay focused on the main idea of the paper, also I hope to learn not to be stressed with ever paper that comes my way. Their is not any topics or issues I would like to engage in class and discuss with others, but i would like to engage in interesting topics or issues, that way there is a lot to talk about.

I've had many positive experiences with writing both inside and outside English courses. I enjoy writing and find it a great way to express myself. I am hoping this class will help strengthen my writing skills and help me become a better writer. I enjoy discussing and reading about ethical issues.

I haven't had too many experiences with writing outside of English classes, but inside i've had several. From this class, I hope to better myself in writing longer papers rather than the shorter ones I'm accustomed to. There aren't really any topics or issues that I need to engage in class.

My previous English writing experiences consist from high school English classes, to journalism classes, to creative writing classes. Some things I would like to gain from this class would to be a better writer, to learn different writing styles, and to be more of a clear writer. I can't think of anything in specific that I would want to engage in talking about during class. Although articles and journals interest me.

Inside and outside of class I have had many experiences with writing. Ever since 1st Grade and from then on out to the present. Whether its from essays, resumes, articles, or even journal writings; its an everyday thing. I hope to grain a better understanding of how a perfect paper or thoughts should be written. There is nothing particular I wish to cover.

My previous experience with writing would inside of english classes is that I enjoy writing however I am slow at it and have a hard time organizing my ideas. I have had more experience with writing outside of english classes than in them, the US history and intro to film class i took had a lot of writing involved and it helped me develop my skills. I hope to become a faster and more organized writer from this class. I hope that we write papers about history, science, and sports.

I've had many experiences in writing mainly inside of my English courses, such as research papers or my own personal feedback on articles. Writing resumes is an example of my experience outside of english class. I hope to make my writing skills a lot better in this course. Also, as long as the topics don't have to do with history, then I'm fine with any topic discussed in class as long as it is interesting.

I've had a good amount of experience with writing both in English courses as well as the Honors courses that I had to take here last year. I would really like to become a more influential writer, in that I want to be able to get my point across more effectively. There isn't really anything in particular that I would like to engage the class about or that I like to read in my spare time.

I am currently in cmy junior year, and I have had to write for several classes each semester since I started. I could use a little refining and become better at the various styles of citing information I use. I like to write sometimes for entertainment and to convey my feelings. I dont like writing on subjects selected for me that I find very little interest in. I find that it is just a more laborious writing situation. It will be nice to strengthen the writing skills I have and gain more knowlege of writing techniques.

I have a had a good amount of experience with writing. I have a lot of bad experience but mostly a good one. I am hoping to get a better understanding for writing about many different works. There is nothing really in particular that I would like to engage with, just anything that is very interesting.

I've had a little bit of experience with writing both inside and outside english courses going through an International Baccalaureate curriculim throughout my highschool years I have become accustomed to writing papers for an assortment of assessments. From this class I hope to gain a better understanding of both the structure strategies as well as grammar skills. Topics that I would bring up in class would most definately be how to write a persuasive essay because that is what i struggle with the most.
