LOTF essay
This was my first essay of the year, I got a 3.5. Because of the long summer break that we came from, I had become rusty at writing. I had a poor thesis and analysis, and was lacking that AP zest. It was a big eye opener, no more partial effort. It was also difficult because last year we were able to do our in class essays on computers, writing them out just added to the stress.
TEWWG ICE 3
This was my third TEWWG in class essay, I received a 6.5. This was good because it shows my analysis- which was most of this- is improving from the beginning of the year. Although, the whole in class essay thing wasn't working for me just yet. I enjoyed the format of this one because it was all analysis, no actual essay needed. This format allowed me to spend more time on my writing because it allowed me to skip formalities like intros and conclusions.
TEWWG essay
I received a 9 on this essay, my highest yet. I loved the fact that I could take this one home, it allowed for a more sound analysis and overall better writing. The only problem was that i had one good idea and that wasn't enough for the paper, so my second paragraph was a little shaky. I was super excited when I received my grade the next day, I thought that because of my last paragraph being so poor that I was going to bomb it. Since I had more time, my creative juices, like wine, aged with time and got better.
