This school year, along with English I is coming to an end. As I reflect on what went well and what went not so well, I come to conclusion with what I can put forth next year. We completed multiple assignments, such as personal narratives, literary analysis, research paper, and poetry. In these assignments, I have achieved both success and failures. I feel successful in my blog posts because I always spend time perfecting them and use them to become a better writer. Also, the personal narrative and research paper were my stronger assignments. We had lots of time to perfect these and get help. I took advantage of this and used this time to work on my writing skills.
I struggled with the poetry section and literary analysis. The poetry section was difficult for me because of all the different applications and variety it required. I work better with set, given instructions, so to be able to choose from ten different poetry styles was hard because I did not know which style was my strong suit. I eventually had some success in it, but it required a lot of time and effort to be put forth. Finally, the literary analysis was tricky for me due to the many different factors and symbols in Lord of the Flies. It took me a while to find a topic I would thrive in, but once I found it I was able to get some ideas flowing. Also, it was my first time writing an essay on a book, so I struggled with citations and embedding quotes. Throughout English I, I have been able to identify my hits and misses throughout our various writing assignments, and use them to my advantage in future papers.

Wonderful post. We are very similar in our hits and misses.
ReplyDeleteI found poetry a hard topic as well. And the literary analyses was definitely something that had to be deeply thought about to understand what everything symbolized. Great Post!
ReplyDeletePersonally, I struggled with the personal narrative and literary analysis, and poetry was easy for me.. It's interesting how everyone's hits and misses are so different! Great post!
