Reflective Essay For English 105 Class

I want to thank you for being a great teacher for me. I want to till you how I enjoy being in your class in this session. You have made my session very special for many reasons, and I liked the activities that you made for us, that makes your class very special. Also, the activities makes the materials easier to understand. When I take English 105 class, I expect that my skills in writing academic essays will improve, but I found that I learned new skills and improved others. For example, I improved in summaries educational articles easily. I always struggle finding the main idea of academic articles, or doing summary for it, but your class helped me improved my skills in scamming and finding the main points of articles. My critical thinking

improved as well. It is improved by observe, ask questions, gathering information, and apply these information.
The activities helped me so much to improve my critical thinking. An example of activity is the marshmallow and drawing the image. The first activity which is marshmallow, which shows how the information should be clear and simple for the readers, and makes sure that my writing is easy to understand by many people. The second activity which is drawing picture, in this activity I learned to see the point from different views before I start to write about any subject.
I chose Photo essay, advertisement analysis, and research paper to shows how I improve and learned new skills. I chose these three projects because it shows how much I improved in English. First example, in photo essay I wrote about general information with a general photos, and that was not the point. I should do it more specific as a personal experience, and talked more clearly about the pictures that I chose. As a result, I improved my literacy in this project. Second, in advertisement analysis there wasn’t enough information in one of my examples, and I should make sure that I add clear and good information. Also, I missed talking about the audience for the advertising. That makes my critical thinking developed. Finally research paper, I first started with an observation and question. Then I started doing research about the topic. After that I felt bored and not interested in this topic. I chose another topic that seems interesting to me and I did my research about it, it was really interesting topic. I had difficulties with the introduction in background information. I should add some historical information about the topic. This project developed my critical thinking a lot, and helped me to improve my writing.
