Portfolio Reflection Throughout the semester I personally feel as I got a lot of solid concrete information on how to enhance my writing. When I first came into this class I thought to myself “I am going to fail”. I know for a fact that I am not a strong writer and I will fully admit that. When I look back at myself as a writer in high school I think how in the world did I pass English with the grades I did. It boggles my mind from time to time. It actually makes me mad. No teacher in any…

that the first essay assignment was being discussed and explained I began to think that the assignment was going to be somewhat easy. I began to search for books that seemed interesting to research, that I could use for the assignment. The selection process was one of the most time consuming parts of the assignment. I I gathered the final four books which were “Rebel Souls”, “Walt Whitman Reconsidered”, “Walt Whitman: A Gay Life”, and “Walt Whitman”. I began to realize that this essay was not as…

I also don’t waste my time and have more confidence in my writing process. Depending o which essay my purpose for writing changed. When I wrote the narrative, it was communicator because I was bias, wrote about myself and how I felt about the topic. When I wrote the analysis and argumentative papers, my purpose was the…

The Literacy Narrative was sort of a trial and error project. I wrote the essay the best way I knew how and hoped for the best grade. I did though get to tackle a more creative aspect of my writing that needed much working on. Since this essay was based on our own experiences, it allowed me to be as creative as I would like rather than being confined to the requirements that something like a research paper would have. Despite this, I still realized that my Literacy Narrative was not my strongest…

while on a train home, purely to get it over with, but surprisingly I enjoyed the podcast and had very little trouble finding a subject for my paper. The process of writing the paper was not incredibly difficult but it did end up becoming challenging once I had to start finding sources, but I did end up finding everything I needed. The process would have been a lot harder if my professor had not shown the class how to use the library’s databases, and citing it would have been impossible if we…

Alicia and I have two completely different styles when it comes to getting our work done. I like to wait until the last minute to start anything, whereas Alicia likes to start everything as soon as possible. So when we were paired to write the group curriculum I was concerned that we would be butting heads with one another. Thankfully this wasn’t the case we split up the work as evenly as possible, we each planned four of the sessions and wrote different parts of the narrative. I’m positive I…

I will explain why I have selected this specific book and the impression the book has on me. I will use an external source preferably a reliable source that relates to the selected book to either collaborate or contradict the text. Also, I will explain how or why the book will have or not have an impact on me. This is because the book addressees…

The search for a placement has allowed me to overcome my insecurities and realize that rejection is a natural part of the process of achieving my short-term goal of securing a placement. I have taken each rejection in different ways depending on how much I wanted the position and the time I invested into the application. With the first two rejections, I felt some assurance in…

The Hailsham experience is also a process through which the characters discover and learn to accept their identity. When they are small, they sense their destined role as a vague, childish embarrassment. In teenage years they adopt a joking, in other words, evasive attitude…
