Reflection Essay
The literary analysis gave me a chance to take a poem
written by Pat Mora and tear it apart to find things out about her life. In
essence this was a small research paper that gave us a chance to find out
something special about our author. Finding evidence and trying to back them up
in such a small poem was very challenging for me. However it gave me the
opportunity to not only to study the author and her life more in depth, but
also to search for meaning in the poem. In this case I discover Mora wrote her poem
“Immigrants” because of the way she was raised and also where. However this was
just one case in which I believe my writing skills improved.
My Snapchat Instructional is a step by step process that allowed me to be creative and explore different writing processes. The way the step by step process allowed me to think significantly about how I wanted to reach out to a select number of people and how detailed that I needed my steps to be. Incorporating pictures to have a visual aid for people to see what exactly I am trying to show, really helped me realize that not all people are the same when it comes to reaching out to them, and sometimes you need to think out of the box to get everyone’s attention.
Overall this class as a whole has really made me grow as a writer and express different options in how to explore the writing process. Writing 101 made for a great deal of thinking and research, however it allowed for a kind of writing that was more to the point and not just rambling on about some different topic every time. I truly enjoyed coming to class everyday and learning something new, whether it be a grammar lesson or ideas for my paper. Most kids do not realize how lucky we have it to be taught all the little grammar mistakes we make and be given all the tools we need to write a high level essay. It was by far the most productive and the best learning environment for a writing class that I have ever had!
