Creating a topic for discussion isn’t challenging compared to other aspects. The hardest aspect would be using the guidelines of paragraph writing. In the past four weeks I have learned numerous things about writing. I learned to begin with an idea. After developing an idea support

Choosing the topic was my easiest step in the writing process. I enjoy researching information for personal purpose as well as to be visual with my ideas. Creating different ways to rephrase my examples was the biggest challenge it’s what I would need to work on most. Using different was to rephrase my examples would make my ideas flow more effectively. I learned as a writer that I have the ability to be creative in ideas. My goals of being visual in my thoughts on a college level were achieved. In remembrance with the definition paragraph I used a topic I was interested in. Using a topic that aroused my interest was the most comfortable portion of the assignment. Carefully following the structure of a definition paragraph is what I would like to work on. I believe the development of the structure will turn out better essays. I learned approaches to explain different terms. My goals of being a definitive writer have been

    Throughout the course of the first quarter, I realized that sophomore year is very different from freshman year. There is more time commitment, more effort, and overall more experience in learning new materials. In English during the first quarter I obtained three learning goals through specific activities. The first learning goal that I grew was acquiring and employing new vocabulary to further understandings of core texts.

This learning helped me grow a Habit of the Mind which is persisting. This was significant because though Othello may be interesting enough, using these literary analysis terms while reading my AP textbook and even the Chemistry textbook, helped me improve my English skill while learning to persisting in reading the history textbook assignments that are due.…
