Assignment #7- Reflecting on Progress

• I feel like I am making some progress on my goals for the class because I have a very wanting  to learn personality.  I have done all the steps with the writing ways which have been learned in class.  The only thing that is difficult is that the things we are writing about with the Ad is very confusing to me and I have really no idea what we are writing it about.  
• There any specific aspects of the class that I feel have been particularly helpful for me as a writer.  When we had the lecture on the run-on it was very helpful because I have a lot of trouble knowing when to stop and start a new sentence.  The way that I suture my sentence is something that I have always had some trouble with but I feel like it is getting better.
• The thing I would change about the class order to better facilitate my learning process would have to be a little bit more of giving your own review on our rough drafts.  It is hard for students to be able to guide each other the way that you will like since everybody has a different way of learning and teaching others.
• The way that my writing process is has not changed since the beginning of this semester.  I fell like I need it to change because I still always just wait to the last min. to do the work.  I will like to change the way my process is so that I can fully increase how the way I write is and I might be able to better what I am writing.
• I do not really find that my writing is improved since the semester started because I have not broken out of my shell yet.  A lot of the things we are writing about is not something that I really want to write about, so it is hard to put Do you think your 100% into a piece of writing that I have no care for.  I really want to write a story or just something that is easy bu fun at the same time.

• Tone- With the colorful night life, with the text right above the car makes you have to  look at the car. The car is he only one that is a red tone and it pops out at you.

Assignment #4-Thinking Critically About Revisions

• My final paper looks different from your rough draft specifically by the fact that my essay it flows a lot better. In my rough draft my ideas are all jumbled up, but in my final draft I feel that the ideas are more easy to come across. The final draft will have a more organized feel to it.
• I made some major revisions to the organization, and my focus when I first wrote my essay I focused a lot on the introduction and not a lot of time on the content of the writing.  I feel like I needed to have more details about the poetry because I focused a lot about the disability and not a lot about a reading or writing experience.
• After revising my paper, I am able to identify my own pattern of error because as I am writing my essay I am not there completely.  All of my thoughts are in a jumble, so I just keep on writing until I am completing done with my essay.  I do not go over the work that I have just completed until a day or two before the paper is due.
• The things that guided me to make the revisions I did was the peer review and rereading your own paper aloud. The peer review helped because of the person that read my paper.  He was able to tell me some of the mistakes, and give me some tips to inspire me with bettering the thoughts that I had and to organized them in a way that people will be able to understand. 
• The aspect of my essay that I feel is the strongest would have to be the introduction and the weakest is the conclusion.
