9 Unit 1: Think About It

Think back to how this unit defines and discusses writing.:

 

  • Get your Feelings Out: Take a few moments to figure out how you feel about writing.
    • On a sheet of paper, write down the first 5 words that come to mind when you think about writing. Be honest! Don’t overthink it!
    • When you are done, review your response. What do these words tell you about how you feel about the writing process?
    • Is there a theme to the words you chose?
    • Are the words positive or negative?
    • Is there anything that you (or your instructor) can do to change your view on writing

 

  • Looking Forward: Take a few moments to explore what writing will look like in your college major and your future career.
    • List at least 5 types of writing that you found.
    • What purpose do you think each type of writing serves in your field/major?
    • Think about the skills you will master to write well in those genres/types of writing and list some of them?
    • How can you begin to prepare for your future writing now?
