Reflection About My Writing Process

748 Words3 Pages

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.

Essay three was the essay that helped me to …show more content…

I did not understand in high school how to connect the thesis to the essay and how to make a counterargument. Although I has good ideas in essay one I did not have a thesis to outline and organize the paper and the counterargument was poorly worded and very biased.

Lastly my critical thinking skills while writing have increased tremendously. I had a lot of trouble starting essay four because I had trouble writing a paper over a picture and text. The professor went through many different elements that could be analyzed and brought me into a new state of thinking.

Also in essay three I had to critically think of solutions to my argument so I had to think of every possible way the issue I was discussing could be fixed and write about the ones I thought could work the

After reading through my Fences essay, I am happy with how the essay turned out but in the future their are areas I think I can improve on.
