Standing Ovation: Introduction to me

Introduction to me

My name is Charity Jewell. I am a Ferndale High School student also attending Whatcom Community College part time for running start. I am one of many people searching for more education to plan for the future. I love soccer. I also take on the hobby of singing in choir and at church of course. I can be widely open and out spoken at times but, I listen intentively. I have been through some permently damgeing struggles in the past year but I try not to let that bring me down. I always have a smile on my face and I try to help others do the same. It's just better to go by your day happy and smileing.

I enjoy writting alot because it's a great way to express myself. I seem to over explain my opinion to get my point across at times though. I love poetry and I write alot of it which not many people know about me. Through writting, I get to put my thoughts down on paper to create a better understanding and learn from there on. That seems to get me by and by. I over use punctuation and I'm not the greatest at spelling.

Welcome!

Welcome to our Eng 100 Blog “Standing Ovation”! The title of this blog refers to the audience of active readers we are creating by sharing our academic writing for Eng 100 with a larger group of students, instructors, academics, and just about anybody who chooses to follow our blog! When you write and post your reader responses here (and, later, as you write your essays for the course), we encourage you to use this audience to conceptualize who you are writing for and, most important, how to communicate your ideas so that this group of academic readers and writers can easily follow your line of thinking. Think about it this way: What do you need to explain and articulate in order for the other bloggers to understand your response to the essays we’ve read in class? What does your audience need to know about those essays and the authors who wrote them? And how can you show your readers, in writing, which ideas you add to these “conversations” that take place in the texts we study?

As students of Eng 100, you will use this blog to begin conversations with other academic writers on campus (students and instructors alike).We become active readers of each other’s writing when we comment on posts here. And, best of all, we are using this space to share ideas! We encourage you to use this blog to further think through the topics and writing strategies you will be introduced to this quarter. As always, be sure to give credit to those people whose ideas you borrow for your own thinking and writing (you should do this in the blog by commenting on their post, but you will also be required to cite what you borrow from your peers/instructors if and when it winds up in your essays. More details on that later…J).

Finally, keep in mind that writing to and for this audience is a good way to prepare for the panel of readers (faculty at WCC) who will be reading and assessing your writing portfolio at the end of the quarter. We hope that as a large group of active readers, we can better prepare each other for this experience. But, in the meantime, let’s have fun with it! We are really excited see how far we can take this together!
