Today's blog is about our writing experience at the writing center, On our assignment Descriptive essay. Going to the writing lab helps me out a lot it gives me that extra boost I need to get my essay started. Its really hard to get an essay started if your not use to writing. And having someone sit with you one on one really helps you out.
In my tutoring session we sat at the computer, and she read my paper out loud. We worked one paragraph at a time, after reading paragraph one, she told me I needed to focus on the person that I am talking about, I need to use him,he or she, more, or the persons name so the reader will know who you are talking about. But she told me the description of the character is good she can picture the comedian.
Well, I am not going to sit here and go paragraph to paragraph, this essay has six paragraphs and if I go through every paragraph my blog will be as long as my essay. Basically through out my essay she told me the same thing, I describe the scenes well, I need to let the reader know who I am talking about. She help me a little on my grammar, and I know I suck at it. I have a lot of quotes in my essay so she help me with, when I can use quotation marks. The thing that I like about the tutoring sessions is that they tell you the truth about your paper, and let you know if your on the right path, and if your not, they help you get their, They give you ideas to get you going in the right direction.
I would not have done anything different with my sessions. The two tutors help me out and gave me good feedback on things I need to work on. She also told me I needed at a little more to my ending and give my opinion on the video which was good advice, because I did not know how to end my essay. Overall I was really impress with her feedback, now I will see if I listen to her feedback correctly in my final grade.
