Part One:
This last week in the writing center I did something a little different, a young lady came into the center wanting help with citation. The kid Joesph who I was working with did not know MLA format, and I am very familiar with MLA. Not only did I take charge and help the young lady out but I was also helping Joesph out and he was able to learn from me. What I did was help her with incite and how to give credit for a author like (Daskam, 9) then also told her easybib.com was a very helpful source for doing a work cited page.
Part Two:
With the PSA we do not know what second chance wants to get across to listeners. So we will wait to see if they have a new event coming up and go form there to help them out with a new PSA. Also with the cat VS. dog penny war, it would be really good if they did that and made a rule that for every silver coin points are taken off.
Part Three:
So what I did was I explained myself more with the "thing" and I changed up the verb to be more stronger. I am still struggling with verbs but this is a good start I feel for myself.
Also one thing that I really need to work on in general is not waiting till the last few days to write my paper, in college it’s a little hard with all the other work but since writing is difficult I want to work on not waiting till the last minute to write a paper. What I want to work on this is semester is my weak points and get better at them.
With writing, one thing that I really need to improve on in general is not waiting till the last few days to write my paper, in college it’s a little more difficult with all the other work but since writing is a struggle with me I want to work on not waiting till the last minute to write a paper. What I want to work on this is semester is my weak points and get better at them.

Post 6
Part one:
This week I did not got to the writing center, do to my concussion and a I had a doctors appointment for my head to. I did go in and talk to the tutors to give them a heads up.
Part two:
The piece of writing that I have choice to revise is a paper from English 101 about sexual assault. One of the first things I saw right away was that I did not explain what I was saying this and they and not saying what this and they was. Another thing I saw was that I would put extra words in there just to fill it. Which I find this weird, take you may have a word limit or a certain number of pages you need to fill, what are you going to do? What you are going to do is fill that word count by putting pointless words in your writing, when you just need to get the point across.
Part three:
Chapter 6 was easy to understand, even before reading this chapter I started to courcet myself when ever I would write this or they. After being in this class for only 6 weeks I am able to stop myself before I write vage words like this and they and things, I start to explain what those objects are.

A
safety measure that the Washington State University uses is a program called
Green Dot. Green Dot is a "violence prevention program that focuses on
making our campus safer by empowering bystanders to become active members in
reducing power-based personal violence" (Green Dot WSU). They define “personal
violence” as anything that ranges from partner violence, sexual assault, or
stalking (Green Dot WSU). This
program promotes
anything that promotes "safety and communicates intolerance for any form
of violence" (Green Dot WSU). Green Dot offers Bystander Training, which
informs a trainee about the role of bystanders in a situation of personal
violence, which, in turn, also increases the trainee's ability to intervene in
such situations (Green Dot WSU).
This program, I need to explian saying the green dot program promotes safety. This is just one example but I do it through out the hole paper.Part three:

Post 5
Part one:
This week in my time in the writing center I worked with a different tutor but I can not remember his name. We looked at a paper a pre pharmacy student brought it, it was a little different because the teacher did not want his students to restate anything in the assignment he wanted them to get straight to the point. After we finally got what the point of the paper was the was not much the girl had to do a little fixing here and there. Like adding for information say what her opinion was and just rearranging a few paragraphs.
Part two:
Chapter 5 to me was very useful to me, here thinking I need to add information or build something up for the reader but really sometimes you just need to get to the point. Also with some word choice you think it great for what you are saying but to the reader it looks like you are not confident in what you are saying so it is good to go back and look at those words.
Here is a example from my letter:
In the Friday February 1st paper there was an article in the opinion section titled “New Pullman parking policy shows too much mercy” by Dylan Parker just talking about the new policy that the city of Pullman is trying enforce about giving warnings to first time violators who receive a parking ticket. I strongly believe this is a great idea for the city of Pullman especially being a college town and always have new people coming in out. A lot of people are not familiar with where there is restricts like permit parking or free parking.
In the first sentence change the first part to in the February 1st. In the second part change that hole section to: This policy is a great ides for a college town like Pullman, where there are always new people coming through.
So in this weeks writing center I ended up working with the same girl Nina I did last week.
My time in the writing center I worked with Nina.
-Here I just cut a lot of the nonsense that I did not need.

Post 4
I apologize I realized I did not do a revision for the last post.
So in this weeks writing center I ended up working with the same girl Nina I did last week. She is very informed ed and I learn a lot form what she had to say. We worked with a student who was writing a letter to the Junior Writing center wanting them to look over his junior writing portfolio. While going over the letter I gave some advice that he needs for support to encourage the writing center to go over his papers a second look. After words what made me feel really good was that Nina was very impressed with my ideas how people need support in certain areas without making the paper sounding wordie and just putting words in just because.
In chapter 4 we learned about active and passive voice, right off the bat I looked at it as active voice is talking about what just happened, and passive voice is talking in about what happened in the pass. This is just how I saw it, I know they are both are the same but for me by looking at it this way I was able to understand it better. Also passive constructions promote the direct object to subject position and needs to promote relevance, proportion, and clarity.
During my time at the writing center I worked with one student who brought in a scholarship application to be looked at.
My first time to the writing center I was working with a student who had a scholarship applocation to be looked at.
The first sentence is active and I made the revison to passive by changing worked to was working.
