Writing can take many different forms and vary from assignment to assignment. Every teacher is different in what they are looking for in a writing assignment. While one teacher may want many sources, another teacher may want few sources and be more interested in what the student has to say. Personally, I try to figure the teacher out while they are talking about the assignment. I try to see what the teacher put emphasis on. Does the teacher seemed interested in what I want to say as a student or is the teacher more interested in how I can gather material and put it together? If the assignment is based on what I want to say and how I think, I can almost immediately start to think of what I want to say. If the teacher wants multiple sources, I will usually put the writing off till the last day or two. If the teacher is interested in what everyone else’s thoughts, then it shouldn’t take that long to put together. When the teacher challenged the students to think on their own, there in lies a challenge. Preparation for an assignment depends on what the teacher want from me. Personally I love the thought of being able to put what I think down on paper. Other people’s thoughts are great in research papers, but why assign a student to gather other peoples thoughts and exclude their own?
