  1. I found this website to be exceptionally resourceful. This webpage has all the information and tips a student needs to write an effective paper. What I found interesting was that this website provides steps and exercises to writing a thesis statement, effective paragraphs, and effective conclusions. It provides a student with lists of transitions, and how to focus and clearly analyze an essay. I also found peer editing strategies and how to cite and properly use resources. If I knew about this site before, I am sure I would not have had the careless mistakes in my past essays.

    1. I completely agree, everything you need to be a good writer is in this site. I would have definitely used this site if I knew about it before. I will use this website when I'm doing my Final Exam.

    2. I went to look at the peer editing part you talking about, it has list we should check when we do peer review. Those are common mistakes we usually make, that was a good part to look at and be careful when we do peer review.

    3. If only I knew about this site when I was writing my persuasive essay.

  2. I found this site to be very resourceful because it has all three stages of the writing process in detail. This site guides you through stage one, two, and three. Everything a writer needs to write a well thought through and organized paper is in this site. If you are lost doing the three stages of the writing process or the writing process worksheet this site will keep you on track or guide you. I struggle editing and revising my work and this is the hardest stage for me but this site will help me out in the future essays I write in editing and revising. I will definitely use this site for the future essays I write.

  3. Similar to the previous websites, this website is resourceful as well. The website focuses on information about writing, editing, and reviewing essays. The most resourceful information, for me, on the website is the material about peer editing ideas and clarity and style. Prior to reading the website, I did not know how to effectively peer edit and be cohesive in my essays. Hopefully, I will able to become a better writer by using this website.

    3. I'm probably going to recommend this site to my friends when I ask them to peer review my essays. Most of them just compliment me or tell me one thing wrong with it. I know my essays need more than one little tweak.

  4. I think that this site would be helpful to the average literature student because it offers resources that help clarify ideas like sentence structure and mechanics. It's also helpful to people who are simply writing an essay, to refresh any previous knowledge of literacy and essay writing. I'm adding this website to the various online writing resources from previous blog reflections.

    2. I agree with you. It assists the student in sentence structure and more. This webpage is a refresher.

    3. This website definitely clarifies information about certain aspects about writing. This website clarified my understanding about the different kinds of first drafts. Also, I found the thesis statements exercise to be very helpful.

    4. I disagree, more is not always better. I wish she gave us one resource that had all of the ones we discussed on one organized website.

    5. I did the same on this site. This site is refreshing form the previous sites we have visited.

  5. I found this website to be really resourceful because it has a guideline and an information to write better essays. Especially, what I found resourceful was the punctuation part on the list. It shows how to use apostrophes,comma, quotation marks, and so on. I was confused with quotation marks, but it helped me this part. It shows that commas and periods are always placed inside the closing quotation marks. "As a matter of fact," I added, "we will end class early today." can be a good example.
    I will look at this website again to get more resources when I have some times.

  6. This website was resourceful, but not as resourceful as the recent previous website. I wouldn't use this because it looks a little bland. It does have labels to lead to certain subjects that are helpful.

    4. I agree that this website does not contain a large variety of information like the previous website. However, this website is still very useful for writing. I am sure that if we use all the websites in conjunction, we will become great writers.

    5. I think the website is resourceful, and I am going to use this. The reason why I am going to use because it shows how to write essays step by step.

      Delete
  7. I found this website very resourceful but it did not have a broad list of things like the last site. Non the less this site is very good in helping ideally students who need to form a more fundamental style of writing such as basic punctuation, subject verb agreements, and sentence structures.v

  9. The website is as resourceful as the rest of the websites provided by Dr. Rivera. The main why I find these website resourceful is because the are coded with HTML, which make is fast to navigate through the hyperlinks. And also, HTML website works fast when you have weak internet connection. Since I have a hard time starting subject, I found the Getting Started hyperlink very informative and helpful.

    1. I basically just google "transitional words" or "sentence structures." Now I can refer to webpages such as these. Thank you Dr. Rivera!

      Delete
    2. I am also relieved to know that I do not have to endlessly search on the Internet anymore. I no longer have to research on writing mechanics to understand what I am supposed to do when I write essays. Now, I can just bookmark the resourceful websites, and refer to them when I write.

      Delete

  13. "Writer's web"- like the name of this source, it included a source connected like a "web." Definitely this source can help us become a better writer, only if we put some more effort on it. I think I should put more effort to writer a better writing with those source we got from this class.

I will use the resources that were presented to us to try my best and become an awesome writer.
