One assignment that I truly have learned from was one Mr.Salme gave me Freshman year. He gave the class a packet taught us how to write 5 part paragraphs. The packet broke up the paragraph and told us what to write in each of the five sections. Each section was also accompanied by examples. This assignment really set me up for writing essays throughout my entire high school career.
As a writer I don't think I am that good. I have always had trouble writing papers and short stories. It was never the actually writing portion I have just always had trouble bringing my ideas together clearly in a way that I could put them on paper. In order to be able to be a decent writer you need to be able to formulate your ideas into clear ideas that you can write about. You should also re read your papers for errors and you should write drafts. Another process that can aid in your writing is reading your papers out loud. Often times when reading papers out loud you can catch grammar errors.
