New skills I am trying to incorporate into my paper is trying to not repeat myself as much with the main topic because I know I have done it a lot in past essays. Also I need to make my thesis statement more clear or put it in the right area because I will sometimes put a good thesis statement in some random paragraph and then the thesis I will use in the first paragraph will be really bad. My…
Narrative Project Reflection
For the narrative project I chose to interview my math teacher this year Karen Tasker. The reason why I chose Mrs,Tasker is because honestly thought she would be a good story teller because she has two kids of her own but also I truly could’t tell you I just had like a feeling that made me think she would have a good story. With the two stories Mrs.Tasker told me it helped her want to be a teacher more and…

They are personality, or more accurately, they are important parts of personality, along with other parts, like dispositional traits,goals, and values.” When I read this I first fell in…

Areas from the rubric that I think I could really learn from is organization, position, intro, and clarity. The reason I picked organization is because sometimes I can get distracted from the point of my paper when writing and go off topic and that is something I really do not want to do. Also I can sometimes jump around between paragraphs and they won’t ease into each other good. I chose position and intro because sometimes my intro paragraph doesn’t…

When writing my first draft it was very hard for me to come up with anything for it at first because I have never written a essay strictly on metaphors so it was hard for me to do this at first. It’s never easy to write a paper especially it being the first draft of it. For me writing my first draft for this paper I know I did a lot of repeating myself which tends to happen a lot…
