Revision

I choose to do my revision on my Literary Analysis because I wanted to work on a piece that was a throwback to the beginning of the year. I liked reading Lord of the Flies and I thought that I could improve the Literary Analysis. I choose to focus on Word Choice and Sentence Fluency. First I looked at turnitin and fixed all of the changes and read comments to see what I could improve on. Then I read my whole Literary Analysis and changed quick fixes and marked things that will take some time to fix. I later fixed the more time consuming parts of my essay. I noticed how I needed to change a lot of words into the literary present tense. I read the whole thing once more to see if I had missed anything. After revising my Literary Analysis I am glad that I choose this puce of writing because I am glad the way that it turned out.

What I have learned about myself

    This year I learned a lot about myself and myself as a writer/reader. At the beginning of the year, I was not a very strong writer. I learned from my mistakes on papers and blog posts. If I had to choose what helped me the most this year, it would have to be blog posts. I think blogs posts helped  me as a writer the most is because the posts have to have a purpose and relate to various things. I like how we get to sometimes get to choose our own blog post topic because then we can work on our creative writing skills.      I learned that I am not the best poet and that writing outlines are easy for me. I said in another blog post that this year was a wake up call because we are in High School and there is a lot more work than the years before. As I am writing this post I am thinking about how I will make my goals for next year and you can see my goals in another blog post that I wrote.

Writing Center

   I went to the writing center on January, 30 2017 with a senior writing fellow. I worked on my Research Paper on the 1936 Olympics. The writing center fellow's always ask me to read out my paper out loud. I find this very helpful and it helps me see what I messed up on. I worked on my transitions and tried to make them flow more smoothly. I found the writing center very helpful this year. I will defiantly go to the writing center next year. Some of the writing fellows visited my class, they talked about how helpful the writing center is. I not only went to the writing center this semester, but I went twice. The writing center helps me calm my stress my helping me come up with a plan and help strengthen my paper. Overall, the Writing Center is a great addition to our school and it should stay there.

Goals for next year

I want to work on my vocabulary skills for next year. I will use the vocabulary in my writing to make my writing emphasis on points that I want to make. I will also try to work on my transitions. I want to make to sentences flow together more smoothly. I would like to try to make my sentences emphasis on my main points. I do not have many goals for next year because I do not really know what I want to accomplish until the time come. I tried to give some idea or direction I would like to go into. Please check out my other blog posts.
