This year, my goal as a writer, is be overcome my problems. I would like to improve my writing in a way where I do not repeat myself, go off track, and go back and forth. I would also like to improve in the basic structure. I believe I need to work on organization and voice. These two areas are my weakest points in writing. So I would like to overcome that by the end of this school year.

Writing Experiences and Goals
My writing experiences haven't been all that great. I never did like to write, but I loved to come up with stories. When I first started high school, I realized that writing is going to be my main problem. My mom says that I have a problem with not staying on track with what I am trying to say. I believe she is right. I see it when I re-read my papers and how I'm either going off track, repeating myself, or just going back and forth. Now that freshmen year is over, I have realized that my writing has become better. With the basic structure of writing, my writing has improved. Another thing that I have to focus on in my writing, is applying my self. I need to put myself into my writing and maybe also read from an audiences understanding. My favorite piece that I did in freshmen year was my querencia. I believe that was the one piece that I put myself into that writing.

Hi Samara,
ReplyDeleteNice job on your journal #1, the blog that talks about your writing experience. I think you (and your mom ) did an accurate job of analyzing how you can improve your writing. And, with that in mind, I think the goals that you have selected, organization and voice, are the ones to target!
As for your pre-assessment pro/con essay, here are my comments: You have an interesting perspective on the issue of technology in the classroom. I think your “overall evaluation” about not really knowing too much about the issue was accurate. I think, too, that the problem is related to the reading problems you focused on last year. If you understood the two articles that I gave you to read, you would not have been so confused about crafting your argument.
Please come to see me and we’ll look at the articles and see where the difficulty was.
