During my last semester at Brooke Point High School I took the English 112 portion of our Dual-Enrollment English program and have learned a great deal about writing styles and techniques. These skills were learned through reviewing and the papers I had written for the class (I.e. Summary and Response, Argumentative, Analytical papers); this portfolio is intended to show the improvements I have made throughout the semester as well as address some of the achievements that I have had with the class.
Summary and Response
The first paper of the course was a Summary and Response paper and its changes in my writing are based more on format and minor editing to help my point get presented better. This paper was written to be a backbone to the argumentative paper and the main

This statement was address though in the final draft by addressing the reason I feel is to blame for the popularity here. This is a prime example of my driving points and my ability to edit statements to more accurately portray my views.
Literary Analysis
The literary analysis was my second favorite essay to write, it also shows off my skills at analyzing an author’s work and addressing what factors play a heavy roll in the development of his/her writing.

I think I did a great job of spreading out major points in the play, and feel like this essay deserves an A, but at the same time I still think I need to work on filling in my holes better with quotes, while maintaining the crucial flow. When you grade my essay I’d like you to point out to me the holes in my essay, which I can transition with better. It was really difficult for me to do with that 3-page limit. Which leads me into my next statement. I apologize for going slightly over that 3-page mark, but I cut as much as I could.
• Is the comment presented in a clear, compelling manner or is it confusing, repetitive or contradictory?
People remember William writing Hamlet from 1599 to 1602 in England so you’d think that his play is in the language English. If you have read the play then you would know that it is not just any English language but a completely different form of English. An example of

Reviewer: The play has a positive impact on me. It helped me understand the meaning of life, especially the importance of love and freedom. What I like most about the play is the outstanding performance of the characters. Nonetheless, I did not like the lighting of the play in some parts as it made it difficult to follow some scenes. I can recommend the play to students of literature, art/drama or history as it has helpful information that can improve their skills and knowledge in their areas of

Anytime I was told to write a paper of more than a page, the first thing that crosses my mind was run-ons and grammar errors. However, as I read “Teaching Thinking by Teaching Writing,” I was exposed to two different techniques to begin the writing process. In this article, Peter Elbow explains what the two techniques mean and what they do for us.

According to Writing Analytically, the first thing we should pay our attention is that we are supposed to concentrate on what the thing itself communicates as opposed to what someone might have wanted it to communicate, which means that it is not bad thing to interoperate author’s intension, however, we should mainly focus on the subject itself. Also, we should avoid both the Fortune Cookie school of interpretation and the “ Anything goes” school of interpretation while unfold coherence on our source. The Fortune Cookie is that produces an interpretation containing a single, write answer. In contrast,
