End of the Year Writing Reflection
Beginning of the year:
In the beginning of this school year, my writing was fairly weak. I struggled with deep analysis as well as conducting a thesis. Without a strong thesis, I also had trouble incorporating useful examples that further push the thesis.
End of the year:
Now, at the end of the year, my writing has improved. I am able to apply thorough examples as well as analysis that further support the thesis. I am able to put together a thesis that makes sense for the prompt, as well as create a conclusion that once again supports the thesis. I do struggle with using diction as well as specific rhetorical techniques in order to grasp the readers' attention, but my writing has improved greatly nevertheless.
Writing and testing log:
Final take away:
I have learned a lot about writing strategies and techniques this year. Now that I know these tips, I will improve on applying them as I continue on writing. I am getting better as I practice, so I am not very upset that I still have a lot to work on right now. I know that I will continue to work hard with my writing so that I can build my skills and create a stronger writing ability. I am mostly proud that I have just seen any improvement, even if it is not the mos obvious of things.

I like your ideas to keep building onto in the future!
ReplyDeleteIt's good that you realize what needed to improve and worked on it. A strong thesis lays out the whole essay, but the evidence and reasoning drive it along. I applaud your perseverance to become better even after the fact.
ReplyDeleteI like that you kept everything brief and did not make the blog a long process to read it helps the reader to see the progress that you've made and your plans for the future
ReplyDeleteI believe that the thesis is the base of your paper and everything else is built off of that. With that being said, I am glad that you not only saw improvements with your thesis, but also your evidence and analysis when your ability to create a thesis was strengthened. I love your optimism for the future and I think it is great that you are focusing on the journey and not the end result of your writing!
