Reflection:
I enjoyed writing this essay. I feel like this is the first time I ever formatted as this. It was interesting to use a block quotation and close read and analyzed each part relating to each part of the story. I could sum up the whole meaning behind the conclusion so it was neat. I don’t mind what I will get on this essay because I worked my hardest to accomplish this essay. Also, this is the first time I tried this method so I am also anxious how well I will do.
I learned great deals from reading this book. I learned more about the Chinese culture and how identity can be an issue among the immigrant Chinese people. It is interesting to compare them with myself because I never had an identity issue. Perhaps I stopped identifying myself with a specific culture, but instead a specific body known as the Church. I guess I only want to be known as Christian than a Korean or an Asian. Also, the discussion was very informative and I love how we could incorporate modern issues with the book such as “Does Doctors need empathy to treat patients?” I enjoyed the discussions we had and I am excited to write about my identity/ creative writing near the end of the year.

Also, I think this was an interesting way to write an analytical paper that involved a passage. I like how I broke the close reading with correlating with each section of the book and summing up the identity issue in the final paragraph makes me happy. I might lack the skill of AP writing skills so I would not give myself a high grade. I am still figuring how to write better with concise tone and understandable styles. I would give myself
In reviewing the essay, there are many errors I noticed. Overall, your writing lacks focus in regards to ideas, grammar, and spelling. I am no expert in any of these areas, but my ability to produce a coherent essay is demonstrated by the fact that I am nearly done with college. The goal of my essay is to guide you towards a better way of writing based on my prior experiences. A good essay in my experience is one that has three major components: structure, depth, and voice.
The literary analysis was my second favorite essay to write, it also shows off my skills at
After reading your essay, I think you did a good job on this assignment, especially on reasoning your proposition. I like your introduction paragraph the most. By narrating your personal experience with writing, you introduced your problem associated with writing that “writing only for assignments” and made a very good transition from your story to the proposition which clearly stated at the end of your first paragraph “Once I felt that what I had to say was meaningful…I started to enjoy writing more and more for the class”. As a reader, I was told what you are going to say at the next few paragraphs after reading your introduction paragraph and I expected you would say more about why you think that made you enjoy writing. But when I continued
I am currently a student at the University of Texas at San Antonio for almost a whole semester now. I came to this school straight out of high school, not knowing what I was getting myself into. During my high school years, I was good at every subject except my writing class. Coming to UTSA, I knew I was going to struggle in my writing class, but that didn’t discourage me from not trying my best in the course. Going through the English program, I realized that I have some strengths and weaknesses in the class, and it encouraged me to do better. The essays I have written for this class demonstrate that I have developed a strong thesis, organization skills, and detail; however, I still need to improve on grammar, keeping the POV, and citing.
The areas of productiveness in this session for me included the paraphrasing and minimal encouragers. Throughout this session I felt that my paraphrasing was clear and concise. It allowed the client to think about what he had said, while being able to provide me with feedback and allowed for the conversation to flow naturally.
What challenges did you have completing this first essay? To complete my essay, one of the challenges that I had, was make sure that I try to cover some of the information that I have learned so far. I like this book, “They Say / I Say” (Gerald G. 2015) because it presents most of the learning topic from a different point of view in a way that make you feel connected with the way that it get presented. Most of the reading essay are also so easy to follow and each of them seeing to be related to one another which also provide different perspective to the readers (students). So I was able to apply so of the information that I have learned. I think the APA formatting class that we had was very helpful and it helped to be able me to be able to correct most of the quotations.
Analysis essays are definitely not my strongest suit, and as a result, I struggled initially with how I was going to format my paper. I wrote an outline because I knew it was going to help me in the long run, and considering my analysis essay skills are still shaky, it was definitely a good step to take. I was able to demonstrate my understanding of the prompt by answering all parts of the question, as well as fully develop my ideas throughout the essay. I also formatted my paper in a clear, well-organized, and coherent manner for the readers to easily understand. Lastly, I believe that my essay contains very few errors and flaws.
I did really well considering the levels I received for my practice essay. Doing the practice essay was very helpful. I truly enjoy writing even though the writing process often takes long for me and I struggle to get started. I always make sure that I do a thorough planning before I get started as that helps me get my thoughts together and makes writing easier. I think I need to work on my spacing and punctuation as well as keeping the quality of my written work consistent throughout. I struggled to join some of my sentences together in a way that they complemented each other and I need to work on that. I did well overall and I am going to use the feedback I got in future to make my writing even better. The essay actually got me thinking
Every one has their subjects that they love and hate, and for it was defiantly writing. Writing is something I dreaded for a long time; I developed my hatred towards writing since probably elementary school. I hate writing when I’m expected to put a spin on a subject that just doesn’t work for me, personally. There are many times when I have papers due and sometimes I feel like I have nothing to say towards the topic. I could write a paragraph but to continuously write paragraphs after paragraphs it gets a little harder. I always contradict myself in my writings but that is something I have grown out of. Writing is time consuming and requires a lot of effort. They require a lot of planning and usually some accompanying reading and note taking. Taking notes is one of my weaknesses. In some intuitions like my high school for instances there was not enough time is given to the rough draft and not enough feedback is given before the essay receives a final grade. I personally believe that not everyone is a "natural-born" writer; but I do believe that everyone has the capability to become a decent writer.
This class has helped me understand so much more about myself and how I function on a daily basis. It opened my eyes to information I may have never known. The one things I enjoyed most about this class was learning about brain development and how each structure of the brain has its own function to how feel, move and think. It was very interesting to know that our brains are not fully developed until the age of twenty-five. The brain is the control center for how we survive and how we live our live.
During the presentation, the team adapted the demonstration method inside of welcoming, did not perform encouragement for the audience to join the movie night and help out the charity. The plain slides style did not provide secure engagement and visual appeal. Ticketing system explanation was made
The purpose of this paper is to explain how I will plan to implement effective choices in improving a change in personal behavior and the improvement tours my fitness attitude. Wellness has a broader definition, than health, which it’s definition is the absence of disease and wellness is defined as the optimal health and vitality to living a healthy and fulfilling life. Also, is a process in which we become aware and we make choices to a better lifestyle. Maintaining an excellent level of wellness is crucial to live longer, live a higher quality life and control risk factors. To achieve this, is important to consider some of the dimensions of wellness.
and I felt that I did an exceptional job. This essay was on how the internet cannot always be regarded as a trusted source of information, it was very interesting to look at the different types of information on the internet and which of it was reliable. I was very satisfied as to how it turned out. I have realized throughout the time of this course while completing the different writing assignments provided that I am better at writing an essay about a certain topic than I am at writing a responsive essay on something like an article or novel. In the sense I find it way more difficult to respond to a given piece than to write an essay of my own.
This is my end of year grade 12 culminating self protariate. The project was to create two self portraits but to have them on one page. Initially, I did not expect myself to finish before school ended due to how long it took me to complete it last year. But by reflecting on what happened last year with my lack of time I was able to change my techniques up to fit the time span.
I am Jolayne Killeen. I am 17 and a junior at Coon Rapids High School. I have a few hobbies that I do quite often one of them being playing the piano. I have been interested in the piano since second grade when we had a para come in and tell us all about specific activities that were available for elementary students. I raced right home to tell my mom about the news I had heard at school. She was just as excited as I was when I told her. She then made it her duty to find me a piano teacher and since then I have switched my instructors but my love and passion has remained the same. My mom noticed how fascinated i was with music and art but most importantly creativity. She thought that theatre would be right up my alley. I was then signed up
