Metacognition: Concentration
As I think about writing a paper or completing a essay it is typically a slow process. Depending on the interest in the topic I usually am not very good at doing these. I procrastinate and regret it later and I am distracted easily by Facebook or other internet sites while writing my paper. Typically when I am done with the paper I am sick of writing by then and thinking that I do not even bother proof reading which is horrible and consequents in lower grades on papers. I will change these habits though because they have not lead to anything good in terms of grades for me. I would like to be proud of what I write and not rushed in the end to finish it. I will challenge myself to concentrate on the topic and the goal to not procrastinate. I want to grow and become writer with a better vocabulary too.

It is funny that you wrote that you were distracted to many things such as facebook. Me too, my brothers and sisters are so happy when they are annoying me during my homework and blogger. It is nice that you would change for the sake of writing well in the future. I hope to read your novels someday. But let us just start with blogging shall we? *blink*
ReplyDeleteThat is so true, Addie. How I do on essays also depends on my interest on the topic we have in front of us. Also, many distractions tend to interrupt the process. Yours come in the form of Facebook and other internet sites but the we all have distractions that can in the way of our writing. I know what you mean when you say that by the end of your essay you feel sick of it and you turn it in as something that could pass for a rough draft because I tend to do that once in a while as well. I'm really glad that you've set goals for yourself to improve as a writer. I'm looking forward to doing that for myself, too.
