My Progress In My Writing

I feel that I have made a large amount of progress from the beginning of the year. I have been able to take information about what I have done wrong and turned it into strategies that make me a better writer and score better at the same time. Overall with the progress I have made I feel confident about my writing. This is because I have put effort into trying to improve skills that I lack in, take more time to read and pay attention to what we are reading in order to remember details about the book, and have taken more care in my writing compared to years past.
I also made progress with poem analysis. This can be seen in my Midterm Essay. This piece proves that I have made progress because when we first started the poetry section I struggled
This was the most challenging writing assessment because of some skills that I struggle with were put to the test while I was writing the essay. One skill was my time management, since I was given only one period to write this essay, which for me is a small amount of time, I had to speed through some sections and I was not able to finish the essay, leaving the introduction barebones and the conclusion not even started.

One of the problems I ran into was that I was reading books to get them over with and not to remember what was in them. Since I read most books to get it over with, I struggled to remember details that impacted what I was trying to say the most. This caused me to lose points and have a very basic and general essay about the book I read. Also while I was getting to the end of the period for write the essay I realized that I was not going to finish, and that I needed to work on my time management, this shown by me not finishing my conclusion. All this together was reflected when I took a look at the grade when it was put into IC, and showed me that I had gotten a 73. It made me notice that I needed to work on some important skills that would benefit me later in the school year and that I still had a long way to
