Reflective Essay: What Makes As A Writer?

887 Words4 Pages

As the advisory ends, this assignment provides an excellent opportunity to look back on my experiences in this class. Throughout this past advisory in the Advanced Placement Language and Composition Course, I have grown not only as a writer but also as an individual. I truly appreciate the growth that I have gone through in this class. It is difficult to put into words how much I have grown but I try to do so throughout this reflection. Over the course of this advisory, my ability to conquer multiple choice questions has improved immensely. By being assigned assignments on Albert.io, my confidence in taking timed quizzes has increased. In my opinion, Albert has been my strength since day 1. With full sincerity, I give all the credit to Mr. …show more content…

This is because I could conquer my weaknesses and utilize my strengths with the help of my teacher and classmates. Through multiple peer edits, I was shown that my weakness as a writer was that I lacked voice in my essays, and my strengths were that I could structure an essay. My structure was concise and easy to follow; my voice on the other hand was dull and flat. With the help of my teacher, I could bring forth the voice that was hidden inside me and use it to produce amazing essays. However, I have obtained new strengths and weaknesses throughout the year and end the course with the fact that I am a great writer, but I have a tendency produce “wordy” essays filled with “fluff words”. I fully intend to remedy this weakness over the next two advisories, as I begin to prepare for the AP exam, with the help of my exceedingly generous …show more content…

Since the topic was something I was interested in, I actually wanted to write. I had my topic but I knew that more challenges were ahead. The challenges were difficult, but they proved to be beneficial to my development. I chose to write the essay from an objective, unbiased viewpoint, which I soon realized that it wasn’t easy for me to write that way. I found it difficult to write in the third-person, and my progress on the essay was slowed, as a result. I struggled with the issue, but the greatest challenge I had with the essay was something that I became aware of after the first essay: my difficulty writing strong paragraphs. I tried my best to enhance the strength of my paragraphs. Luckily, the class possessed a wealth of resources on the subject of paragraphs, and I enveloped myself completely in the material. Thus, my paragraphs improved, and I walked away with a better grade than my previous

Key Club Weaknesses

418 Words | 2 Pages

First and foremost, I'm extremely excited for your class this year. I've always considered myself to be more of a writer than a reader, so your class seems perfect. Even though reading is essential in becoming a proficient writer, the mechanics and raw structure of writing is absolutely fascinating to me. Regarding my weaknesses, I’d like to develop my persuasive techniques, especially with using rhetorical devices-- specifically pathos-- within my analytical writing; I find it challenging to smoothly integrate more artistic methods into technical essays. I take constructive criticism very seriously, as I learn best when I see specific areas where my writing could be improved.

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.

Informative Essay On Service Dog

They help people live healthier, independent lives. In contrast, I think my Be Insightful Project was harder to write because we had to synthesize our sources in every paragraph. Once I learned how to synthesize my sources, then I was able to write my paper more effectively.

Reflection On My Writing Process

461 Words | 2 Pages

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.
