Hello,
My name is Jacqueline Velasquez and I am 26 years old. I wasn't able to be there with you for the first class and get the chance to meet anyone, but I am happy to be apart of this class and learn more about how to improve my writing. I have always struggled with the grammar aspect of writing and hope that this class can help me become a better writer and educator.
I am apart of asped 11 and am finishing up classed in order to complete my degree. I am near the end and am excited for what is to come!

    Hi Jaqueline,
    It is great that you are almost finished with your degree. I am just getting back into school and have a ways to go. This class is very informative and will educate us all on how to be better writers. The Oncourse book is very positive and the other books are great guides. In the end we will all hold our heads a little higher as better writers.

Week 5

Happy Week 5 everyone! It is hard to believe that we are already more than half way through this course. I look back and realize how much I have improved not only in my writing skills, but also in my proofreading skills. Since the first class I attended I have now carried over what I know in my everyday life. I read bulletins and correct them. I read books and look for errors. I have come to appreciate a less wordy essay. The biggest improvement I have made is writing a clear and concise paper. I can tell that I have made improvements not only by the work that I write, but by the proofreading this week. I was able to point out so many mistakes and omit many words within the essay. We have been critiqued hard on our work, but in doing do Professor Aggen has taught me more than any english teacher has. She has taken the time to explain and show examples which helps me tremendously. I am retaking the TAP test this month and I feel more confident than I have in a while. I have been enr...

Week 6

      Last week was quite busy for me. It was nice to have Monday off from work and get a lot of stuff done around the house. I was very busy at work and going to the library working on my paper. I spent some good time researching in the library looking for research on my topic. I had a hard time coming up with a specific topic for my paper. I knew I wanted to write my paper on Autism  but I wanted a specific topic with solid research. I was pleasantly surprised with the books the library offered on Autism. I had a lot of anxiety coming up to writing the paper. What do you do to help you start writing papers? I began by creating an outline to try and organize my thoughts.        I was inspired to write this paper by the students that I have worked with as a paraprofessional. I have worked as a paraprofessional in classrooms with primarily children with Autism. I have learned a lot from all the teachers I have worked with about Autism, but feel li...

Week 3

     This week was a rough one for me. It started well and I thoroughly enjoyed class, and learning more about everyone in the class. When it came time to go back to work I became overwhelmed and found myself struggling to balance what was on my plate. I had a funeral to attend and prior commitments for church all week long. It has always been my downfall to spread myself thin and something I am working on. It is a process to learn to say no in order to prioritize. The end of the week brought rest, and allowed me to rejouvenate myself.      Grammar has always been something I tend to avoid. My biggest fault is second guessing myself. When I took the TAP test the biggest mistake I made was going back after my time was up and looking over and asking myself if it was really correct. It has become so easy to find the easy way out of learning grammar. It is so easy to now open our phones and have spell check on, or just looking up a word. It has been years sinc...
