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.
