Throughout the course of the year in Lit/Writing I have grown as a writer as I have learned how to write clear and concise thesis statements and select relevant evidence. One way in which my writing has improved is through the conciseness and clearness of my thesis statements, as I now incorporate more detail into my thesis, while keeping it unambiguous. In the short story summative assessment for “The Scarlet Ibis,” my thesis statement lacks a lot of information. It goes as follows, “In the short story ‘The Scarlet Ibis,’ James Hurst uses indirect characterization through the narrator to show that pride can override and take over one’s conscience.”

I learned to ask for assistance when I encountered a problem.

Picture polos’ with kilts, knee-highs with Sperry’s, classrooms with only girls, and a chapel with nuns in the middle of a school. This was four years of Mary Anne’s life. Praying every morning, praying before class, praying at the end of the day, praying, praying, and more praying. Like any student, she disliked her school at times, but her love for the memories and the girls she spent it with outweighed the negatives. In religion classes they read the Bible and other religious works.

The grade I would give my current English 111 class is an A, because it has been a beneficial learning experience for me. The essays given have improved my writing, and it has opened my eyes to the things that I often miss while proofreading. From this class, I learned that Proofreading is highly important, and that re-reading my work numerous times will help in catching some of my mistakes. I also confuse both present and past tense when writing, so from this taking class, I have learned to separate both tenses. From the essays, I also learned that it is important to write by using the English rules, despite writing what only sounds better, which had been my former style of writing.

Everyone needs to struggle in order to preform better. Writing has always been a strength of mine, but I found it a challenge to move from the high school, six-paragraph essay format that I had grown accustomed to. Throught the course of this semester, I was able to acquire many different skills in ENG 1101 that have helped me transition into more complex writing. These include various writing techniques, MLA formatting, writing for purpose, convincing my arguments and finding and properly using sources. The portfolio I have submitted is comprised of three works of writing that I completed for ENG 1101 over the last three months.

It may be beneficial for the class if Denton discusses further, how to properly format a paper in MLA. Professor Denton mentioned that she does not circle people’s comma usage since she is not the best at it, as horrible as it sounds, that is beneficial to me. I am not the best when it comes to comma usage, so her saying that she does not care about how we use commas as long as they are not used in ridiculous

I think the best way to describe my writing this quarter is that it was satisfactory. I did good enough to get a good grade, but could have done better. Throughout this quarter I have learned what to do to titles of movies, books, television shows and others in an essay. I also learned that I need to put the punctuation inside the quotation marks if it is at the end of a sentence. My strengths are research related papers and essays about myself.

Looking back through my days of writing in high school there was a lot I did not understand about the writing process. My writing was much unstructured and overall very poor compared to what it is today after this class. I believe that I have always been a good writer I just have not had the tools and knowledge to create a well written and knowledgeable paper. This course has helped me to meet the learning outcomes of learning to conduct factual research, making original and unbiased papers, writing different genres of papers in a professional way, correctly implementing the academic writing process, learning proper grammar and mechanics, and implementing critical thinking skills into my drafts.

I found out that I loved novels that somehow tied into life happening all around me. I learned how to visualize what I was reading and ask questions that helped me dive deeper into my own way of thinking. As far as AP English being a bad experience I was pushing the envelope a little bit. It was a bad experience because I made it one. I was not aware of how much work it would take to be in an AP English class.

The last few free writes that we have had were much more enjoyable to write since they were something I felt passionately about. I think over the past quarter my style of writing has become much clearer and flows more smoothly. Also I never knew what to look for while editing my paper until I started to print out rough draft and read over them. While reading printed rough drafts I notice awkward sentences, spelling errors, and most importantly missing commas. Another exercise that we do in this class is paragraph responses.

Throughout the term there has been many writing assignments —big or small— that helped reflect my writing process or the process itself. In the beginning of the course I felt like I was an “ok” writer, but lacked some skills such as: organization, sentence variety, and vocabulary. Also, I did not like to write and had a feeling of dislike when forced to write. I felt like I improved on everything I wanted and was seen throughout the semester. I know how to organize my ideas, the worksheets given in class to work on sentence variety really helped, and vocabulary was built on some level.
