Ideas and Content
My writing demonstrates appropriate ideas and content because we I am proving that a quote relates to the topic, I don't get side tracked and start rabbling on about another topic. I also don't jump ahead of where I am. On my Julius Caesar essay I believe I did well on staying away from the other topics until I was ready but on my Alchemist essay I think I could have done better. I could improve my writing pieces by going into detail more and provide more evidence just to make sure that my points get across.
Organization
My writing demonstrates appropriate organization because I don't jump around from topic to topic. When I write I focus on the main point of the paragraph and try to stay away from things that would lead me away from what I was talking about. I think I could improve my organization by working on my transition between ideas and paragraphs. In both my Julius Caesar and Alchemist essays transitions are what bring me down. I doesn't allow my essay to flow very easily between paragraph to paragraph or idea to idea.
Personal Growth
I didn't notice much change from my Alchemist essay to my Julius Caesar essay. Other than the Religious essay I did last year these were the first essays I have ever done so I am proud of what I have done. Although I would like to improve my writing even more over the next few months.
SLR Reflection
I think that in order to complete an essay well you have to think creatively.
When you are writing an essay you have have to know what you are talking about to actually write the essay but when you think creatively you are going into more detail and depth. If you know how to think creatively then you can also organize your writing better. In my opinion think creatively is the most important SLR to use when writing an essay
