One writing task that I believe I did well on when writing the practice essay would be my use of structure. My thesis statement was clear as the introduction of my essay, explaining what my topic sentences will be pertaining to throughout the entire paper.

For example, in my essay I talked about my travels regarding the military, however, I barely scratched the surface of what new and exciting features about the places that I could’ve capitalize on. On the grammar assessment, errors I had difficulty with included parallelism, subject/verb agreement, and comma usage. For parallelism

I have revised my thesis statement to two sentences, rather than one. This is so that my point can be understood in a more effective way. My thesis statement is as follows. “There should be more stringent screening processes for individuals wanting to own guns in the United States because the current laws and regulations do not require mental health background checks and evaluations. Too many people with mental health issues are slipping through the cracks and obtaining weapons and then using them on innocent people.”

1. What I like best about your essay is that there is a good balance between details and narrating, which makes your paper understandable and enjoyable. 2. What I like best about your introduction is that it sets a mysterious tone and keeps you wanting to find out what it is you are talking about, and I believe it was a great hook. What you might consider is clarifying in your intro that the experienced helped you have confidence in being a teacher, but I understand that the thesis doesn’t necessarily have to be “in your face”, so just consider this suggestion.

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.
