Ideas and Content

• In what ways does your writing demonstrate appropriate ideas and content? Provide examples.
• In what ways could you improve your writing to better express your ideas and enhance content? Be specific.

I think that in my Alchemist essay I show better ideas and understanding than in my Julius Caesar essay. I understand the story more and could explain what happen. For example I think I did a good job showing that Santiago destiny is the main idea of the story. I think that if I understand Julius Caesar better I will be able to show the hidden idea in it better.

Organization

• In what ways does your writing demonstrate appropriate organization? Provide examples.
• In what ways can you improve your writing to demonstrate superior organization? Be specific.

My writing show organization because it’s divided in to paragraph that fit the transition from the paragraph before it. This helps me because I know which paragraph is which. However there is still room for improvement. I will improve my organization by planning and drafting more. By doing this I can make writing an essay easy.

Personal Growth

• Do you note any improvement between your Alchemist essay and your Julius Caesar essay? Why or why not?

My Alchemist essay is better than my Julius Caesar essay therefore there is no improvement. The reason that there is no improvement is because for the Alchemist essay there are a lot more planning and draft than the Julius Caesar essay. I also think that the other reason there is no improvement is because Julius Caesar is harder to understand than Alchemist. I think that if the story is easy to understand than it will be easier to write about.

SLR Reflection

• Choose one SLR and discuss how you access this SLR when crafting an essay.

I think that when I write an essay the SLR I use most would be think creatively. This is because I have to think about everything we put into the writing. Thinking creatively will also help me make good judgment so I would know if I need to change something. I believe that thinking creatively will help me make good writing that keep on getting better and better.
