Writing Reflection

This year, as you crafted both the Alchemist essay and the Julius Caesar essay, you were asked to consider ideas and content and organization while writing. Both essay prompts asked you to examine the characterization of a main character and support your ideas with quotations from the story to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding. Further, you were expected to develop a clear thesis statement that firmly established the topic of your essay and directed your reader regarding the content of your essay. Please review both of these essays and discuss the progress you have made as a writer this year. On your blog, prepare a paragraph response for each of the following four subheadings.

Ideas and Content

• In what ways does your writing demonstrate appropriate ideas and content? Provide examples.
• In what ways could you improve your writing to better express your ideas and enhance content? Be specific.
  

Organization

Personal Growth
