My Writing Reflective Report

Improved Essays
Throughout the semester, we have written several writing assignments that have been able to show my strengths and weaknesses in my writing. Writing this cover letter is giving me the opportunity to reflect on my writing and review how my writing has improved throughout the semester. In this portfolio, I have included Writing Project One and Deep Revision. These are the very first and last essays I wrote and I picked these two to show how my writing has changed over the semester. Over the semester, I have learned things like how to fix my paragraph structure, introduce my sources into my writing, and the ability to create a map. The things that haven’t changed much or haven’t needed much improvement over the semester have been my sentence …show more content…
She was decided on her career since she was a little girl and a few tough courses wasn’t going to turn her away. She went on to get her doctorate of physical therapy and is so proud to have the highest degree in her family.”
I included this detail to show that her intelligence is important to her, while also as a segue into talking about her wealth from her physical therapy salary. Altogether, I had a lot of fun writing Writing Project One and designing my collage because it allowed me to be creative and wasn’t just the average research paper that we have to write too many of by the time we finish high school and college, not even to mention graduate

Even though the Deep Revision was similar to one of the research papers, I did like writing it because I liked the topic I picked for the Deep Revision which was legalization of physician assisted suicide. Rereading my Deep Revision, a part that pleased me the most is my introduction. I liked to be able to start with a case study, I think it is very interesting and it grabs the reader’s attention. In the introduction I was also able to demonstrate my ability to write a map and thesis. I had some problems with Writing Project Two because my map wasn’t developed enough, so in the Deep Revision I made it very clear where I was taking this paper, that way the reader was not confused while reading my writing. As I have mentioned earlier, a part of my writing that pleased me the most was my introduction on the case study involving Jack Kervorkian taking the lives of many through physician assisted suicide illegally. He was known as a murderer and spent eight years in prison. Later in my writing I brought him up again which I believe was one example of effective writing. After arguing that doctors shouldn’t be made to be criminals for doing what is in the best interest of their patients I said, “For example, as I previously mentioned, Jack Kervorkian was known as “Doctor Death”, but did he

    Final Portfolio Cover Letter I have always enjoyed writing so I feel like classes such as these help me more than others. Before I finish college I hope to take some sort of creative writing class as I feel as I haven’t given that opportunity much in recent years amidst constant essays on topic that I do not care about. As a writer I believe my biggest strength is that when I start writing I can keep writing almost until I have run out of things to write about or am interrupted for some reason. I also feel as though I’m very good at writing about things I am passionate about and if I care about a topic you will be able to clearly tell when reading what I wrote.…

    The paper itself followed all of the criteria, and my simplistic writing style allowed the reader to straightforwardly comprehend the message that I was trying to convey. While it did contain some incoherent sentences such as, “His repetitiveness compels the audience to listen and his extreme exaggerations show the audience that the situation is bad and needs to be fixed immediately,” (Nguyen “King’s Persuasion for Success” 3). I recognized that I did not have an extensive vocabulary; I was not able to efficiently argue my point in a consistent fashion. As I continued this course, I realized that my downfall would be because of my lack of experience and…

    Throughout the course of the semester, my ability as a writer has increased at a slight level. The semester began on a rough patch with my initial submission of assignment one, but that was quickly resolved in my revisions. Since that point, my grades have been relatively similar. I would accredit this improvement to the feedback I received on the first assignment, although some of my faults could be seen in the next assignment as well. Since that point, however, my writing has been relatively consistent.…

    1 Before I started English W131 I inferred that I was a fair writer. Before then I imagined I could write a nice and easy going paper. I knew I could tell stories very well.
