English111 Reflection

Snider2

The semester and English111 is about to come to a close and i’m not going to lie this semester has been pretty hard but it’s also been a learning experience as well. When i first started English111 my writing was not that good i made a lot of small errors within in my papers. Not to mention all the printing and rewriting i had to do to get good results on my papers.But for the most English111 has been tought me a lot and truly been a good experience for me.

The first writing assignment we had in the class was to write a letter to our professor in which we had to tell him why we were here and what
Now this was one of the biggest papers i had ever done because the paper had to be six pages long not including the bibliography,work cited and thesis. My topic was a pretty easy one to debate because there was a lot of opinion and information on my particular topic. But before we picked our topics my professor told us to pick a topic that we were actually vested in or cared about so i picked this one because I actually have two brothers in middle school and they tried to drug test one of my brothers.

Once I got my topic and bibliography all squared away it was now time to really work on a draft and plan out my paper. I looked back at all my previous papers to point out some of my weakness so i knew what i had to really work on for my argumentative paper I also look some of my strengths and i found out that i was good at relating a topic back to a personal experience in my life as well as planning out a paper but when it came to the thesis statement and grammatical errors those were two area’s i had to make sure I stayed on topic
We also used the book to go over MLA and APA formats. When it finally came down to our argumentative paper we had to use all the skills we learned in class and all the techniques to make our argumentative paper the best paper of the class and really get the most points
