Reflective Essay On Planned Parenthood

634 Words3 Pages

Throughout this semester, I have made many great achievements and improved my writing skills drastically. This class has helped me improve my writing skills with grammar and methods for writing. I have also learned what I need to improve on, which includes effectively using quotes and writing narrative pieces. Many of the assignments in this portfolio are argumentative; I believe this style of writing is best for me. Overall, these assignments are the best I have written this semester. My best piece is my argumentative essay about funding Planned Parenthood. Within this essay, I debate the pros and cons of removing federal funding for Planned Parenthood, and then I finish the essay with my final, educated opinion. I was assigned this topic at random, …show more content…

I appreciate how literature has formed the person I am today, and I poured out these feelings in my essay. Adding a quote to my final essay was recommended to me by my teacher. This helped improve my essay a great deal, and I am glad that I listened to this advice. However, I could have integrated a quote into my essay in a more effective manner. Nevertheless, I am proud of how the paper turned out. One of the assignments I am proud of is a mini essay about how to write an argumentative paper. The point of the assignment was to show that I know the steps to writing an argumentative paper. I feel like I clearly outlined all of the steps necessary. However, I could have improved the essay by not addressing the reader. My opening paragraph also could have been improved. Another assignment I am proud of is my practice argumentation paragraph. In this paragraph, I talked about my opinion on abortion, and why I believe this. I picked this topic because it was the topic I knew the most about at the time. My favorite part of this assignment is how I ended the paragraph. However, I should have used more facts in the

    The topic I have chosen for my argumentative essay is “The Highway of Tears Murders.” This topic stood out to me from all of the others because I like stories like this. The Investigation Discovery channel and shows like, “Law and Order,” show stories like these of unsolved murders and cases that can take up to years to solve. I have never heard of this case before I saw it on the research topic list. I did a little overview of what the case is about and why it has not yet been solved.

  • Planned Parenthood Reflection

    1290 Words  | 6 Pages

    I think the Guttmacher institute was a good source to include and I also explained a little about it as well to inform the audience that it was a nonpartisan organization and the data I collected was not biased. My weakest source was definitely using Planned Parenthood itself, because it is obvious that the organization would only provide the public with positive facts and data. I think if I would have gotten rid of the Planned Parenthood source and included a few other very reliable and nonbiased ones then my arguments would have been more effective. I completely agree with Anthony Neu’s comment that “next time I should use more resources to cite my facts.” I will definitely take this into consideration for my next speech if I have a lot of facts to

    I received a less-than-desirable grade despite me believing this essay to be one of my best works. He had informed me in a private discussion that he didn't think I was being serious about the content and arguments I was making. He alluded to certain passages in my writing like “If there is a direct association between flagpole size and patriotism, then the Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate’s illegal 80 ft. American flagpole would surely be proof of Trump’s love for his country.” and “When it comes to paying taxes- Donald Trump has not.”.

  • Critique Of An Argumentative Essay

    1662 Words  | 7 Pages

    According to EDLA3016 (2015) an argumentative essay “requires a combination of technique, factual content and effective writing on the part of the student”. For an argumentative essay to be tactically written, a student must first understand the structure of an argumentative essay and should be well informed about the topic to be discussed. In this way, the student avoids ambiguity and fallacies in their responses. With reference to the student who has written this essay, some understanding of the requirements of this writing technique is evident but there is a litany of errors in its structure, internal elements like mechanics, grammar and presentation of content.
