Banking Concept Of Education Reflection

In my English class, we are subjected to annotate articles that are based on writing styles that we have been learning on this past month. Many of these articles gives us tips on how to formally plan out our ideas, write a rough draft, revise it and then finish thoroughly with our final draft. I do remember from high school that we had to annotate many articles that regarded writing styles and writing strategies.
