Self- Assessment Reflection

1.       My goal for this paper was to make connections with the articles I read. I wanted to use correct grammar, and not have run on sentences. I wanted to stay on subject and not put a whole bunch of words together in a sentence. I want the reader to fully understand my point of view as a writer. I think I reached my goals to a certain extent, because I kept rereading and checking for errors that I didn’t see before. I read every sentence again and again, until I corrected it to the right version.

 

2.       I used my time wisely and used class as a backbone to help myself become a better writer. I listen to other people opinions, and take notes when were in workshops, to come back to my paper for the errors I didn’t see with my own eyes. The use of my time fitted my goals because I made the time and put the effort towards my work to get it done. I reread and took the time to skim each sentence carefully.

 

 

3.       I didn’t really see my writing change, I seen more edits I had to do then an overall change. I feel my writing is basically the same unless I’m told to write in another style. I took advantage of my peers thoughts towards my paper because there seeing things that I may not, and I learn from them things I didn’t know before. I worked with my peers by communicating, telling the honest truth, and staying focused on each reading we heard.

4.       I would say my mother contributed to the paper because I had her read the paper out loud to me, to see if I heard anything out of place, or something that didn’t sound right. It helps me hear what I have to fix in someone else voice.

5.       I learned I need to fix and improve something’s to become a better writer.  I learned from my peers there different style of writing, and some really good ideas came in my head that I never thought of before until my peers have said it.

6.       My hardest part about writing this paper was how to properly follow the full directions of how to write my paper.  I really didn’t understand this style of writing because I’m not use to it. I really didn’t understand how to connect three articles together with questions and themes that came to me about the readings. I think the easiest part of writing this paper was explaining my ideas in questions and putting the readings into my own ideas and thoughts. I took risks trying to be different and follow the directions at the same time. Quoting and trying to explain my ideas in questions was the most risky for me.

7.       The most part I’m most proud of would be the middle of my paper because I feel like I came up with really strong questions that shocked myself when I reread over my paper. I feel like I really expressed the idea in the first paragraph well with quotes and questions of my own.

8.       I think some parts of my paper need improvement far as adding transitional words and parts of speech. Grammar is always a major concern to me and the way my paragraphs move smoothly enough to grasp a reader’s attention. I made these attempts by rereading and having people come check if I used grammar correctly. Also by editing what my peers told me to work on.

9.       I would say my writing process first consists of coming home and rereading the articles I thought was somewhat interesting and similar. Then I start to an note outside the paragraphs good quote, or underline ideas for my topic. Then I look back at my topic I have picked to see if the articles I picked are alike in some way. Then I open a blank word document and start typing everything that comes to mind on my topic. I print out my paper, reread, add and take away things that don’t make sense. Then I turn that into a paper edit and revise, and listen to people’s advice then look back over it again the next day with clean eyes. I reread again fix again and edit everything possible and try to get it for perfection but nothings perfect.
