I am looking for help with this writing assignment. I need to pre-write, plan, draft, revise and proofread. I have uploaded the instructions for the assignment, my pre-write and a few additional questions that need to be answered.
My sophomore year of high school I had an adverse experience with my English teacher.
Throughout elementary and junior high school I did well in my English classes. I had every expecta±on
when I wrote my Frst paper in sophomore English that I would receive a passing grade. When my paper
was returned I found a big red ² on my paper. I spoke to the t4eacher about my grade and was told I
could re-write the paper. I tackled the correc±ons with gusto and conFdence. Once completed I turned in
my revised paper. When I received the paper back, tears streamed down my face when I saw a D.
I con±nued to work hard at wri±ng a paper my teacher would deem worthy of a passing grade. Others in
my class were turning in papers and receiving passing grades.
I began to feel like my teacher did not like
me.
I spoke to my father, an elementary school teacher, about the problems I was experiencing with English
class. My father tutored me and assisted with my next paper, again I failed.
My father spoke to the
English teach and found her to be very set in her way of thinking about me. He then went to the school’s
principal and requested I be moved to a di³erent English class.
This experience has le´ me with self-doubt as to my ability to write a proper paper. When a wri±ng
project presents itself I feel overwhelmed and less than enthusias±c about the project.
