Essay #1 Reflection

1. How do you think you did?
I think I did not do very well on this essay. I did not focus on my topic. It was my first essay that I worked hard to try to understand how to write a good one and spent a long time on it but I still did not get the point of how to write it.

2. What have you learned about your
A) Writing Process?
The outline did helped when I am out of the track or stuck on the essay sometime. It helped me to organize my paper. For example, it reminded me what direction am I going from second paragraph and what am I arguing in each paragraph.

B) Writing Philosophy?
I learned that I should have start my essay by giving my agreement/disagreement or arugment for the topic sentence to show what am I going to aruge or focus in my essay. I should not put a question that didn't represent my point of argument fot the first sentence. I should have wrote that "the lower classes had less power and rights than the higher classes which caused many equality problems and rebellion in this history," instead of putting "have anyone think about how society classes and slavery were like in the past and how does it look like in the modern society?" for the topic sentence.

3. What have you learned about college writing vs. high school writing?
For the college writing, we don't want an informational paper, we want your thoughts and arugements.
For the high school writing, what I wrote before was givng main ideas or facts of the event in the reading, we didn't really put our arguements in the essay. It was more like an informational essay of what I read.

4. What changes will you make for next time?
I will change the way of the order in my writing and find more good sources to use. And show my point of agreement/ disagreement or direction of where the paper will go in the introduction. Also keep in truck of what I should be focusing on.
