D1 Unit 2 Reflection

My literacy narrative titled, “Affinity for Reading”, helped me analyze and assess how I really felt about writing. Reading through my literacy narrative, I see how far I have grown in my grammar and mechanics and formatting. I remember after I turned the assignment in that I forgot to change the font to Times New Roman. I thought I was going to fail based on that formatting error. While I was fleshing out my ideas for the assignment, I sat down at Starbucks and just wrote any and all memories of reading and writing that I had. It was not incredibly efficient, however, I learned how to create more structured outlines as the course went on. In addition, I also learned to triple check basic formatting for each essay to ensure that each essay was as accurate as possible.

Students who are enrolled in Dual Credit English 1301 are expected to write suitable essays. Unfortunately, students struggle to understand what a good essay consists of. After doing research and analyzing This I Believe narratives, the one that stood out to me the most was the personal narrative, “Always Go to the Funeral” by Deirdre Sullivan. Sullivan’s use of rhetorical devices such as, anecdote, diction, and pathos, make the article an effective essay that students can analyze and use as an example to follow.

I chose my memoir for AP English Language and Composition as my best piece because it’s received a ninety percent and is the written work I’m most proud of. The reader should expect to find information about me that one wouldn’t know by simply looking at me. One will find how overcoming my own challenges and one that was thrown at me made the person I am today. One would discover my passion and determination to pursue a career in family law. The impressions I hope the reader gains about myself after viewing this piece is that I am a methodical writer as well as a psychological person who tends to hide it.

As part of a restructure in a one form entry primary school, I was appointed the position of being part of the School Improvement Team and Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO). The SENCO role was previously overseen by the Headteacher whom I work closely with in relation to both of the positions I hold. As well as having these responsibilities within the school, I am a full-time class teacher in Year 2.

In my English 1010 class, I have learned to do a number of things through writing essays. I have written a Literacy Narrative, a Discourse Community Analysis, and a Writing Research essay. Firstly, I have learned to identify how an author’s purpose, audience, genre, and context determine effective writing. The purpose of the literacy narrative was to help me understand myself better as a writer (Jones 1). My teacher was the intended audience of the narrative. The genre of the narrative was non-fiction because it was about my experience as a writer. The context of writing made my writing more interesting and more effective. All those things make effective writing because you have to know what you need to write about and who is receiving your writing. I displayed these skills by going into detail of my experiences with reading and writing through my life. In the narrative I shared how fun and exciting it was when my second grade class got the opportunity to write a book, A Book of Future Astronauts (Writing is Good).

The Personal Narrative essay was an assignment that I not only enjoyed but also learned from. The first person perspective was an aspect that I found easy to write with but the pathos aspect was something that I struggled with a little more. The emotional nature of this topic

Since the beginning of the semester, my writing has changed and evolved to accommodate and sustain longer essays. With longer essays, there is more room for in-depth analysis. Further analyzing a topic has led me to findings that I did not know existed. As I continue to write, I uncover addition and superior methods to approach my writing to the benefit of me and therefore, my audience. Throughout the semester, I have incorporated techniques to further my narrative throughout my writing.

Interviews give us a glimpse into a person’s life, their beliefs, and experiences. This enables the researcher to acquire a first-hand insight into their topic of study in addition to information from various secondary research sources.

As the read goes on, my struggle with my feelings and motivations will be explored and discovered or maybe comprehended by others. Perhaps, all these of what happened in the past and what happened to the former self of mine makes me who am I today. Throughout the struggle but also the explorations, it shows so much in-depth thoughts and insight for me to explore and reflect it on this present time. Although using such manner by my method and progression leads me to query about whether the same may be factual of others.
