For this first assignment, I would like you to construct an essay where you outline your own strategies for becoming a stronger, more engaging writer. This essay should deal with three distinct topics:
First, strategies you employ as a reader to thoroughly engage with a text;
Second, how you use those skills to become a disciplined and focused writer;
And third, steps you take in order to avoid copying while still making good use of the work of others, through quotations, paraphrasing, and correct citations.
