In order to succeed in my high-school writing I need to do quite a few things so that it can improve to its maximum potential.

After mastering this I will need to make sure I fully understand the "They Say/ I Say" format. Being organized and writing everything in my planner will also be helpful.

While I know one doesn't need to be complicated and full of words nobody understands, but I feel like my writing needs to have more depth. I believe that if I learn how to give my writing more depth and to a higher level of understanding, then I believe my writing will have improved drastically.

I think that for any writing teacher to help me succeed I need to learn how to put my thoughts in order and need to organize my paper better.

In my opinon there are many ways to be a suceessful writer throughout high school. One being able to get your point across without being to assertive and also with out being to soft about it. Also keeping your thoughts all orginized, because if you are not orginized you cannot be clear at who or what your trying to prove.

I feel this is important so the reader can clearly understand the piece of writing and be able to comprehend what I write.
For me to be a successful writer throughout highschool in the sense of essays, I would like to be able to know what I am going to put in my piece before I even start writing it. Another thing I would like to learn, is how to improve my essay conclusions.
In my opinion to succeed in high school,you need to know the basic ways of writing,always have an outline and know how to organize your time in the best way for you. You must practice in writing because no one is born a great writer.
Period 7 I think that for me to succeed in writing this semester I need to have a structured way of writing. I feel that I write better when I apply my writing to some kind of template. The "They Say I Say" templates really helped me last semester with my research paper. This semester I expect to learn a lot that will help make me succeeed as a writer.
I think that for me to succeed as a writer not only in high school, but in life as well, I need to find a structured and organized way to project all of my thoughts in a way that will keep readers' attentions. I would also like to learn more about different ways to introduce and conclude information in my writings. All in all I would just really like to become a better and more successful writer.
I need to learn how to focus my thoughts and ideas in writing to succeed in high school. Most times when i write I have lots of ideas and things I want to talk about but I have trouble communitcating and organizing those ideas. I also tend to overcomplicate my writing and add extra words and phrases I don't need and only clog my writing, so learning how to simplify my writing would be key to my success too.
In order to succeed in high school, there are some aspects of writing I definitely need to become better at. When I have a lot of detail, my paragraphs tend to be up to a page. I know that the more information I use in an essay the longer the paragraphs, but I feel that I have been over the top. How do I summarize all of that, without loosing information? Also, I was confused on citations. I think I need to go over that to be successful as well.
In order for me to succeed as a writer in high school I need to learn how to express my point clearly and strongly. I am constantly feeling that I am not writing what I truly mean; I might write what comes into my mind but it doesn’t come out as convincing as I would like it to be. I find myself adding "fluff" to my paragraphs because I don’t know what else to say without being repetitive. Learning how to structure my papers would help me get my point across effectively. Structuring a strong conclusion would help me end my papers strongly with my point. This semester I would like to learn how to make my point clear and strong to ensure that I will succeed in high school as a writer.
I think that for me to succeed as a writer in high school I have to make my ideas flow better in a paragraph. i need to organize my thoughts and figure out how I want to address them. I also want to have a voice to my writing, one thats unique and memoriable.
I believe in order to succeed as a writer in high school I must be able to properly format a piece of writing. I understand how it should be set up and the steps leading to the final product, but I am unable to make it flow without the extra 'fluff' that I don't need. I seem to stray away from my main focuss point of my essay, which will potentially distract the reader. To be a successful writer in high school I think I need to learn the balance of definition and example.
I think an important thing I have to improve on for high school is my essay length. I can never seem to write more than nine paragraphs. I will use up all of my information or knowledge so quickly. I think being able to expand my thoughts better will help me connect to my readers. I think I have been getting better at this as time progresses, but I need to take a big step forward and write, on average, fifteen paragraph essays.
In order to succeed in high school as a writer, you need to have a sturdy base in all the aspects that make up writing, such as grammar, spelling, vocabulary, and punctuation. After the fundamentals are out of the way then you need to develop skills with different writing styles and you need to be be able to organize your own thoughts and put them all down on paper.
In order to succeed as a high school writer, I think it would be greatly beneficial for me to learn how to actually write an in-class essay. Sure I can write up a nice hook or conclusion given time, but I lack the ability to quickly create a nice piece in class. Other than that, I would like to learn how to write a proper conclusion, as my previous semester english teacher did not quite cover it fully.
In order to succeed as a writer in highschool, I need to learn better ways of how to construct essays in class. It seems when I am given time to research and collect all of my ideas it is much easier to put it on paper, however I am not given this time during final exams. I would also like to learn how to get the point of my writing across to the reader more clearly and effectivley. This goes along with the timed writing essays in class, I find myself jumping from topic to topic with no real theme to my paper. I think learning ways to cut out these pointless on goings of information would be helpful to myself and the reader. John G. Period 4
In order to be a successful writter in high school I believe I need to focus on tieing information that I have gathered into my essay. Also, I need to learn to polish my essays better and revise.
For me to succeed as a writer i need to be able to write clear essays. I need to learn how to take information that i have learned and put it into my text. There is different types of essays i would like to learn and a wider vocabulary. I would like to learn how to write a great essay in a short amount of time so i can get all my ideas filtered throughout the paper.
In order to succeed as a writer in high school I need to make my transitions flow better. I also need to make sure I give my reader clear points, and that my reader knows my opinion on the topic. I think to add depth to my writing I can use more descriptive language. I believe that if I work on these topics my understanding of writing will be broader. I would also like to do a better job of organizing my thoughts. Last semester They Say, I Say, really helped me organize my ideas. Although we were instructed to use the templates in the book, it did not make our writing sound the same. These are some of the ways I think I will succeed in high school writing. Aseeya G. Period 4
This semester I think that there are several things I can learn in order to be a more successful writer. One is learning how to write a good introduction and conclusion. Another thing I need to learn is how to arrange my paragraphs in a way that the paper makes sense. I also believe that learning better research strategies for the topic of the paper could help. If I know the topics better, my papers will be better.
Communication is a basic skill that is required in all aspects of life, including work, school, and relationships with family and friends. It is also a skill that I must learn to take advantage of. In order to succeed in high school as a writer, I must learn how to apply writing techniques in a way that changes the perspective of those who read my work. If the reader is not captivated and inspired by my words, then I have not done my job correctly.
In order for me to succeed as a high school writer I need to use the models in "They Say/I Say" and also organize my essays in a neat and good way. Also I need to focus on revising my papers more than once and making sure that my grammar and punctuation are acceptable.
dignesIn order to be successful in this semester, I think we should be taught how to have a really organized writing style. Being organized helps you to not only complete an essay, but keep it revised and clean. I think it would also be helpful to go over and do lots of examples and essays with lead and conclusion techniques. We need to know How to use interesting grammar and vocabulary. Overall, I think we should go over essay writing and learn new and fresh techniques.
I need to learn better organization and editing of essays. I think that I am a very good writer but just an average editor. It would make my work much better and I love writing and have thought about joining the Bulldog Press. I would really like it if we learned some techniques for proof-reading. Thomas A Period 7
I think that in order to succeed as a writer in high school I need to learn better punctuation, organization skills, and read more in depth novels about poetry and research topics. I also need to learn about how to string sentences together. I would also like more feedback on my essays. I love feedback and it helps me a ton as a writer! Lastly I would like to learn about different formats of writing styles. I hope you can help me learn to do these things over the semester.
In order to succeed as a writer in high school I personally need to work on many of the basics such as, spelling, grammar, punctuation etc... I also need to work on more complex things such as sentence, paragraph, or essay structure.
I think that in order to succeed in high school as a writer I need to, be more organize my ideas more. I also need to put research where it belongs instead of all over. I would also like more revising and comments on my paper.
In order for me to become a more successful writer in high school I need to do a couple of things. One thing I truly need to focus on is having confidence in my writing. In order to do this I must be confident in the basics of writing papers and essay's, such as being confident in my thesis statement or making sure that my road map is easy to follow, and logical. Another thing I must do is be able to find intriguing subjects that I am excited to learn about and put a lot of effort into, not that I don’t already do this with my daily writing. Finding a topic also means that I need to be able to organize my thoughts about each topic that I decide to write about. After I complete these certain tasks I feel that I will become a successful high school writer.
Sam S. period 4 In order to succeed in writing, I need to be able to write strong conclusion paragraphs for my essays. In the opening and body paragraphs, I am generally a pretty good writer, but once I get to the conclusion, I struggle to put my thoughts together. This is a very important paragraph, but I happen to be inept at writing this part of the essay, so I need help in learning how to get better.
I think that in high school writting it is important to know how to guide your writting to Perticular audience. When you are in high school you will have to write to a lot more teachers then just your English teacher. When writting to a different subject or teacher knowing how to alter your writting is very important. Some steps I think are important to altering your writting to fit different styles is, the word choice. What words you use can complete change a paper and the last thing is the different of essay format you use. I think that during your school years you learn how to change and alter your writting you will be a very successful writer. Claire C Period 3
In order to succeed in high school as a writer, I would need to work on organizational methods so my reader can understand everything. I need to read more so that I get a better idea of what I need to do to make my sentences flow together better, also how to take the things I have learned and write them down in an orderly way, so the reader can understand fully.
In order to succeed in high school as a writer I need to know proper writing format, how to set up essays, and to also look at others ideas/writings other than just mine. That way I can learn more ideas other then just my writing. I also need to overlook my organization and come up with different skills. I also need to edit and revise my writings.
I think we should learn from older writers and techniques from professionals. Also, we should learn better grammar so we can not look stupid while writting reports. Reviewing revision tequinices also might help us catch mistakes from before.
in order for me to suceed as a writer i need to know what im writing about and learn how to write a paper properly. I also need to learn about and use different techniques of writing because write in the same format gets boring

I also tend to overcomplicate my writing and add extra words and phrases I don't need and only clog my writing, so learning how to simplify my writing would be key to my success too.

In order to succeed in high school, there are some aspects of writing I definitely need to become better at. When I have a lot of detail, my paragraphs tend to be up to a page. I know that the more information I use in an essay the longer the paragraphs, but I feel that I have been over the top. How do I summarize all of that, without loosing information? Also, I was confused on citations. I think I need to go over that to be successful as well.

In order for me to succeed as a writer in high school I need to learn how to express my point clearly and strongly. I am constantly feeling that I am not writing what I truly mean; I might write what comes into my mind but it doesn’t come out as convincing as I would like it to be. I find myself adding "fluff" to my paragraphs because I don’t know what else to say without being repetitive. Learning how to structure my papers would help me get my point across effectively. Structuring a strong conclusion would help me end my papers strongly with my point. This semester I would like to learn how to make my point clear and strong to ensure that I will succeed in high school as a writer.

I believe in order to succeed as a writer in high school I must be able to properly format a piece of writing. I understand how it should be set up and the steps leading to the final product, but I am unable to make it flow without the extra 'fluff' that I don't need. I seem to stray away from my main focuss point of my essay, which will potentially distract the reader. To be a successful writer in high school I think I need to learn the balance of definition and example.

I think an important thing I have to improve on for high school is my essay length. I can never seem to write more than nine paragraphs. I will use up all of my information or knowledge so quickly. I think being able to expand my thoughts better will help me connect to my readers. I think I have been getting better at this as time progresses, but I need to take a big step forward and write, on average, fifteen paragraph essays.

In order to succeed in high school as a writer, you need to have a sturdy base in all the aspects that make up writing, such as grammar, spelling, vocabulary, and punctuation. After the fundamentals are out of the way then you need to develop skills with different writing styles and you need to be be able to organize your own thoughts and put them all down on paper.

In order to succeed as a high school writer, I think it would be greatly beneficial for me to learn how to actually write an in-class essay. Sure I can write up a nice hook or conclusion given time, but I lack the ability to quickly create a nice piece in class. Other than that, I would like to learn how to write a proper conclusion, as my previous semester english teacher did not quite cover it fully.

In order to succeed as a writer in highschool, I need to learn better ways of how to construct essays in class. It seems when I am given time to research and collect all of my ideas it is much easier to put it on paper, however I am not given this time during final exams. I would also like to learn how to get the point of my writing across to the reader more clearly and effectivley. This goes along with the timed writing essays in class, I find myself jumping from topic to topic with no real theme to my paper. I think learning ways to cut out these pointless on goings of information would be helpful to myself and the reader.

For me to succeed as a writer i need to be able to write clear essays. I need to learn how to take information that i have learned and put it into my text. There is different types of essays i would like to learn and a wider vocabulary. I would like to learn how to write a great essay in a short amount of time so i can get all my ideas filtered throughout the paper.
In order to succeed as a writer in high school I need to make my transitions flow better. I also need to make sure I give my reader clear points, and that my reader knows my opinion on the topic. I think to add depth to my writing I can use more descriptive language. I believe that if I work on these topics my understanding of writing will be broader. I would also like to do a better job of organizing my thoughts. Last semester They Say, I Say, really helped me organize my ideas. Although we were instructed to use the templates in the book, it did not make our writing sound the same. These are some of the ways I think I will succeed in high school writing.

This semester I think that there are several things I can learn in order to be a more successful writer. One is learning how to write a good introduction and conclusion. Another thing I need to learn is how to arrange my paragraphs in a way that the paper makes sense. I also believe that learning better research strategies for the topic of the paper could help. If I know the topics better, my papers will be better.

Communication is a basic skill that is required in all aspects of life, including work, school, and relationships with family and friends. It is also a skill that I must learn to take advantage of. In order to succeed in high school as a writer, I must learn how to apply writing techniques in a way that changes the perspective of those who read my work. If the reader is not captivated and inspired by my words, then I have not done my job correctly.

dignesIn order to be successful in this semester, I think we should be taught how to have a really organized writing style. Being organized helps you to not only complete an essay, but keep it revised and clean. I think it would also be helpful to go over and do lots of examples and essays with lead and conclusion techniques. We need to know How to use interesting grammar and vocabulary. Overall, I think we should go over essay writing and learn new and fresh techniques.

I need to learn better organization and editing of essays. I think that I am a very good writer but just an average editor. It would make my work much better and I love writing and have thought about joining the Bulldog Press. I would really like it if we learned some techniques for proof-reading.

In order for me to become a more successful writer in high school I need to do a couple of things. One thing I truly need to focus on is having confidence in my writing. In order to do this I must be confident in the basics of writing papers and essay's, such as being confident in my thesis statement or making sure that my road map is easy to follow, and logical. Another thing I must do is be able to find intriguing subjects that I am excited to learn about and put a lot of effort into, not that I don’t already do this with my daily writing. Finding a topic also means that I need to be able to organize my thoughts about each topic that I decide to write about. After I complete these certain tasks I feel that I will become a successful high school writer.

In order to succeed in writing, I need to be able to write strong conclusion paragraphs for my essays. In the opening and body paragraphs, I am generally a pretty good writer, but once I get to the conclusion, I struggle to put my thoughts together. This is a very important paragraph, but I happen to be inept at writing this part of the essay, so I need help in learning how to get better.
I think that in high school writting it is important to know how to guide your writting to Perticular audience. When you are in high school you will have to write to a lot more teachers then just your English teacher. When writting to a different subject or teacher knowing how to alter your writting is very important. Some steps I think are important to altering your writting to fit different styles is, the word choice. What words you use can complete change a paper and the last thing is the different of essay format you use. I think that during your school years you learn how to change and alter your writting you will be a very successful writer.

In order to succeed in high school as a writer, I would need to work on organizational methods so my reader can understand everything. I need to read more so that I get a better idea of what I need to do to make my sentences flow together better, also how to take the things I have learned and write them down in an orderly way, so the reader can understand fully.

In order to succeed in high school as a writer I need to know proper writing format, how to set up essays, and to also look at others ideas/writings other than just mine. That way I can learn more ideas other then just my writing.
I also need to overlook my organization and come up with different skills. I also need to edit and revise my writings.

I think we should learn from older writers and techniques from professionals. Also, we should learn better grammar so we can not look stupid while writting reports. Reviewing revision tequinices also might help us catch mistakes from before.
