English Portfolio- Reflection

As 9th grader who's on her way to being a 10th grader, I feel that my work in the beginning represented someone who was transitioning from the 8th grade. However, as the year progressed and I was guided on how to become a better writer, my work became stronger. And rather than receiving a 70 as a grade, I received 90's. When people read my work, I want them to think of the actual subject and not who's behind it. Why? because I want people to actually think about what ever it is that I wrote and not form an opinion about me personally, until the end.

Ninth grade English was definitely not what I suspected. I thought it was going to be a breeze because I have always been an A student when it came to reading and writing. Boy was I wrong, I was challenged form the very first day we came into Ms. Dunn's Class. Regardless of how challenging it got, Ms. Dunn was always there for us-And ms. Findlay too-. I am grateful to have been given the chance to be taught how to become a better writer. My writing now compared to my writing in September is completely different. But different in a good way. My weakness as a writer I would have to say is the fact that my vocabulary isn't broad enough. I work on that everyday by just sitting down and picking up the dictionary every once in a while. One of my strengths would probably be comprehension. I understand text immediately and already have a response to whatever it is I read.

For this project I may have encountered an Issue as far as uploading and putting things onto the blog. But this was mostly because of technical difficulties. Anyways, when I went back through my work, I was proud of the few errors I had, but disappointed in the errors that were made. There were some things where I felt like it shouldn't have been a mistake that I made. I simply had to retouch most of my work however. It felt great to go back through my old work and look at what I have become over the past few months.
