Many students get stressed out when faced with a writing assignment. They have trouble knowing where to start, managing their time, or just knowing exactly what to do. Think about your own reactions to writing assignments. Do you get stressed out? Do you look forward to getting started? Do you experience writer’s block? Do you struggle with where to start?

Take some time to think about what you find troubling with writing and the writing process. Create a journal entry in which you list and explain two to three issues you have with writing. Is it time management, getting started, staying on topic, grammar and mechanics, or finding something to say? Or, do you have trouble with other areas of the writing process? If you need assistance on writing a journal entry, please visit the Developmental Module for more information.

Once you have completed your journal entry, please save it with a file name of mod1_writing and submit it to the journal dropbox.
