    For my Final Reflection Essay I attempted to focus on the most obvious adjustments I made from writing high school papers to producing college level essays.

English 111 has helped me to understand the importance of the multiple steps of writing a great college level essay by forcing me to complete each step individually. My overall performance in this class has been above average and I have really demonstrated dedication to improvement.

  • Reflection About Construction

    1467 Words  | 3 Pages

    My theme for this portfolio is construction and how it can be related to the writing process. At the beginning of this class I had no clue that my passion for engineering and building could be transferred into my writing, but I have learned through this class how to relate the formation of my essays to the construction of something more like a house. It starts with the foundation of the house,  then each floor of the house, and finally the finishing touch, the roof. These levels of construction form direct parallels to the intro, body paragraphs, and conclusions of an essay. This idea not only has helped me create my own essays, but it also has a strong effect on how I look at others ' work. In my peer reviews, this mindset draws me to the structure of my peer 's paper and how well developed and organized each aspect of the paper is. Also, because this passion for building and how it has shaped me, I often look at how an author structures his work and what he uses to add to each of these different parts.
