Taking Stock of Your Writing

1.       What was your main point (thesis)? “The Moral of the Story”?

·         The main part or thesis of my story is to show that taking such a hard AP class made me realize to get my stuff done on time and not do it the day before it is due unless I am sick or just can’t do my work. It shows how much went into the biggest essay I have had to write and how it actually has made an impact on my life by changing my mindset from high school to college.

2.       Who was your audience?  What did you assume about them?  What “audience needs” did you have to consider in writing the paper?  How did you tailor your writing to them?

·         My audience is my English 101 professor and my English class and also anyone who reads my writing on my blog, which is only for my English class but it is open for anyone to see and since it is then I had to tailor my writing for anyone to be able to read it.

3.       What feedback or reactions did you get at various times while composing this paper, and how was this helpful?  What other kinds of input or support did you get from classmates, teacher, tutors, others?  Were you able to make use of it?  How, or why not?

·         I got feedback that I need to put more details in it and make it better for anyone to be able to read it, I was sick while the process of bringing in my paper and getting feedback so I really didn’t get any from class but I was still able to ask people outside of my class.

4.       What did you find interesting about the process you went through in writing this paper, and what did you learn from it?

·         What I found interesting about the process of writing the paper is all the steps in the beginning/ before actually writing the paper. We wrote a list first of what possible ideas we could write about and after that we answered a few questions containing the information we will be including in the paper and doing those steps made it easier to get a start on my paper.

5.       What questions do you have for me about the paper?  (What part(s) of the paper would you like me to focus on?  What do you see as the paper’s strengths, and what areas are you unsure of?)

 ·         Questions that I have is if I am good at flowing into new sentences and paragraphs, I know that I am not very good at that and would like to see how I did on it doing this paper. It is hard for me to get a start on my writings and after I get a start then the words kind of start to flow and I really don’t know how to put them in the right order or getting them out of my head and having it make sense.
