Composition Reflection Essay

754 Words4 Pages

Throughout the first quarter of my junior year, I feel like I have improved and really grown as a writer in Composition. Composition has helped me in many ways to expand my writing and I have learned many new things I didn’t know from previous writing classes. Composition helps with many different forms of writing skills such as essays, short stories and informative essays. Throughout this quarter I feel like I have found many hidden strengths I didn’t know I had. One strength I found that surprised me is that if I really enjoy writing about a certain topic my overall work will also be better. For instance one friday I wrote a bucket list and the things I wanted to do in my life. I enjoyed that topic and since I enjoyed it my overall writing was much better. Another strength I also had throughout first quarter is formatting and outlines. I used to be very bad setting an outline, I used to just want to start typing and not have anything laid out or any format of any kind. This year so far I have found out that formatting and having an outline is very useful and now I use it as a strength to improve my writing. Along with strengths also comes with many weaknesses.

I enjoy writing and if someone asked me to type an essay I would know where to start and what steps to take. I would be able to have an outline and state my sources and get a good grade on the

Learning how to write, say, 4 page essays without feeling like I’m filling the gaps with absolute garbage would be a nice thing to learn as well. I have learned here how to write and express myself, how to think for myself, and how to find the answers to the things that I don't know. I can remember being told numerous times in High school to "organize your thoughts" or "provide more support and examples".

My sentences still read very choppy although they are much better than when I started this class. This can be ironed out of my writing by spending more time proofreading my papers. The sentence fluency I think will come the more I write, even by my last paper I feel it has improved drastically compared to my first paper. I think I could have been even more successful in this class if I had spent more time out of class proofreading and using my time better while I was in class.
