Of course,I expected to be writing a lot but was unsure of the type of writing and the style. I was looking forward to writing challenging pieces that stretching me creatively as a writer. I wanted to explore how to express myself in my writing because it had been a long time since I'd written a creative essay.

Reflective Essay This fall semester in ESL 91has been pretty interesting, and so far successful. The main object of this semester was to improve our essay writing. We were taught various lab techniques that helped us to improve our English writing skills, such as using appropriate verb tense and how to write a research paper with a works cited.

After years of learning how to structure an essay I am confident in my ability to do so. I have filled out mind map after mind map and learned 50 different “correct” way to format a piece of writing. I have mastered how to hit all points on a rubric. Focus on the ideas, outline, and flow, because grammar and spelling is only 10% of the grade. Writing is a game
Good writing is a major point of importance when it comes to making understandable and legible writing.

I view writing as a powerful tool to introduce myself to people, to form relationships, and to communicate at an emotional level that daily conversation can’t reach. However, there is always another form of writing, that is, argumentative essays.

Ms. Maria, my twelfth grade Expository Reading and Writing teacher made it very clear in the beginning of the year that the class would not be like a normal English class. At the end of the year we were assigned to do a final project that required us to do timed writes, which were papers that had a certain
