1. I think I planned out my paper well. I feel as if I really put a lot of work into my plan, making it a lot easier to write. I found it easier to find my evidence, and give my writing structure, making it an overall better paper.

2. I feel like I could have improved in my evidence. My evidence was solid, but I could have gotten quotes that better-supported what I was trying to argue. My quotes also really had no depth behind them. I could of included more numbers or whatnot. They were really just other people like me stating their opinion.

3. Next year I will defiantly plan out my writing as much as I did for this. Since I had most of my sentences, the thesis and conclusion, as well as the evidence all there, the actual process of writing went really fast. It was a lot easier to write the essay and write it well. It would be very helpful for say a history paper, where you could go in many different directions. A plan helps you pin down to exactly what you're going to say.

4. Next year, I will take steps do work on my paper every day. This year, on some days, I could have worked on it at home but chose not to. I feel like if I worked on it at home, I would have more time to polish my essay. I will also take steps to not write with words we cannot use such as are, am, is, and was because I think I had too many of these in my essay this year.

5. My advice for next year is to be more structured. Set out a block of time very ay to work on your paper. Make sure you have a wheel structured plan to guide your writing.

After Seeing the Rubric

I think I defenitly could of worked harder on my conventions and style. I was makred down a lot in my style for using possesive verbs. I had a lot of conventonal errors which brought down my grade a lot

1. I think I wrote my response pretty thoroughly and covered enough topics while still being concise, with decent supporting evidence and arguments.

2. I could have used less linking verbs, and adhere to the assigned thesis paper structure better; I was all over the place and the things I colour coded weren't even in the colour coding categories.

3. I will keep on top of my tasks instead of letting them pile up, as well as organise my thoughts instead of spilling them all on the paper without thought.

4. I will proofread more, have someone else read over and and give me an idea of where I am lacking.

5. I want to tell myself to pay attention to what I am doing and just get things done in an organised fashion as opposed to pulling everything together haphazardly.

1. I feel like i did a good job of providing evidence for my claim and i feel like the prosses was pretty solid as well.

2.I feel like i could have done a little bit more research so that my evidence could be more solid.

3.I will use the theisis statement technique and the technique evidance technique.

4.As i said will need to do more research and make more complete and solid claims .

5.Turn it in on time and to do it in advance and not procrastinate so that i can get closer of a grade to the full grade.

1. I feel as if I really made the story my own and wrote what I knew.

2. I probably could have made it longer with more time.

3. I will definitely try to create a well written thesis for my papers.

4. Create more detailed plans layout and create a rough draft before my final draft.

5. Keep on top of the work load before it piles up no matter what happens.
