Q: Explain how this paragraph reflects both the strengths and the weaknesses in your writing. For example, what in this paragraph is good writing that you will continue to make sure you do, and then what about this paragraph is something you might change in order to improve your writing?

A: This paragraph highlights both the strengths and weaknesses in my writing. One strength is that it’s well-organized and follows a clear structure, making it easy for the reader to understand the main ideas. I also used specific examples and quotes to back up my points and ideas. These are things I want to continue doing because they make my work more engaging and effective. However, there are areas where I could improve. Some of my sentences are too long or overly complicated, which might make it harder for readers to follow along. In the future, I would focus on simplifying my sentences and making sure there are no run-on sentences, but also making sure I am still getting my point across.

Q: What will be one or two of your top priorities in the coming weeks for these last few writing assignments we will be doing in English 12? Think not only about the finished product of your writing but also about the process you will use or change when you approach these writing assignments.

A: In the coming weeks, my top priorities for our final writing assignments in English 12 will be making sure I don’t use run-on sentences and keeping my essays shorter. I want to work on writing sentences that are clear and not too long, so they don’t confuse the reader. To do this, I’ll make sure each sentence focuses on just one idea and use punctuation carefully to break up longer thoughts. I also want to make my essays shorter by taking out words, sentences, or ideas that aren’t really needed. This way, I can make my writing more focused and easier to read. To help with this, I plan to spend more time editing and revising my work after I finish the first draft or after I finished writing the whole essay. I want to read over my work carefully each and every time. These changes will help me create essays that is more clear, to the point, and more enjoyable for others to read.
