Curricular Response

I chose my writing goal as I have struggled integrating my quotes into my paragraphs in previous writing assignments. At first I was thinking I would make my writing goal about creating a better generalization. I also think I need to work on creating better conclusions. In my previous paragraphs one of the main things in my grade was that the quotations are just placed into the writing and don’t flow. Making the quotes flow nicely with the rest of the sentence is what I was working on most.

What is one aspect of your writing that you still need to work on and how might you get help or improve in this particular area?

An aspect of my writing that I need to work on is my generalization. In previous paragraphs, I didn’t even attempt a generalization. The generalization confused me as making a introduction sentence and a generalization sentence was difficult. I can get help by asking Ms. Willett to give me a better understanding of what a generalization is, and how it compares to an introduction. In the rest of my writing assignments I will attempt to create a strong generalization that fits with my piece of writing.
