This year in my English class we have used this portfolio to keep track of all the assignments we have done. We would write blog posts and do reflections on the essays we wrote.
I would consider myself a pretty decent writer because English has always been my favorite class. My writing process has improved throughout the semester and I have learned many things in this English class. Throughout the year we did an intro letter, rhetorical analysis essay, personal narrative essay, podcast, and a final reflection. My personal favorite was the rhetorical analysis essay because I like having specific guidelines to follow. We started the year by writing an intro letter. In the introduction letter, I wrote about the goals and skills I was going to achieve in this class and throughout the semester this year. In the rhetorical analysis essay, I read "The Future has an Ancient Heart" and wrote about how the author used various aspects to achieve her goal. In the personal narrative, I told a personal story close to my heart about my dogs. My goal during this essay was to be very descriptive to let the readers live through my experience. After we wrote our personal narratives we paired up with a partner to share our stories through a podcast. In this podcast, my partner and I, compared and contrasted about each other's stories. |
