Writing wrap-up

Every year
in English we wright papers and they are graded. I always feel like I get better as the year
goes by but this year I felt like I have improved on my writing a lot. This year by far has been the hardest and
most writing I have done in a year I have done in my years of school. It was hard and sometimes I did not want to
do the work but in the end I am gad I did.
Spelling
has always been hard for me, especially before I did all my papers on the computer. Even when I type my papers I get words mixed
up or wrong. Pear editing has always
helped me with this. This year we did a
lot of pear editing which helps. Also
what helps me is making a lay out of the paper before I wright it. This helps me make my paper proportional and
make more since.
We did
several papers this year that delta with quotations. In my comments on my paper I had a hard time
with them. I did not realize this until
I looked at all my paper’s comments side by side. This is one of the goals for next year that I
want to work on. I think this will help
me a lot to spend more time on quotations when my papers require them.
The global
issue essay was the hardest assignment this year for many reasons. One is because it was a really long
essay. The other reasons were because we
had to do research on our topic and use noodle tools. The length of the paper was the biggest
challenge for me. This is also a small
problem in my other papers. This is
another goal I would like to set for next year.
Another thing in the global issue paper has not giving enough background
information. If I had done this it would
have helped the length of the essay and also gave more information.
Turnitin.com
has helped a lot this year too because you can see all of your comment on
papers and also see the papers right there on your computer at all times. This year was a good year for improving my
writing I thought. I hope I can improve
nest year even more.
