In my opinion, writing Essay 1 was a little challenging. I was surprised because I usually do well with essays and writing overall. I’m used to creating my own outlines and brainstorming independently, but this time I followed your outline and your instructions for each paragraph. I enjoyed the challenge overall. I started by drafting and putting pieces together until I felt somewhat confident, even though I know this isn’t my best work. The hardest part for me was having my sources already cited. I like to research and think outside the box, but in this case, I couldn’t do that.

Hi Monica, i can relate to you on this. I agree. I also like researching and checking how i can built a stronger paper, however,I strongly think that in this course we need to just give in everything that we know and see our area of improvments. For me these courses are super hard, because i have lack of sentence structure.
Monica, I agree that this essay is challenging. Your have to think on a number of different levels. First, you have to be familiar with both the story and the analysis of the story by Dean Rader. Next, you have to know what the make-believe student has been asked to do. After that, you have to determine if the student actually did what he/she was asked to do. Finally, you have to compose your own evaluation following a different set of directions. I think students did pretty well overall. One of the most heartening things I’ve read in this week’s discussion are the comments from students who started to trust their own instincts and decided to take a risk and just say what they really thought about the sample essay. Monica, please be sure to put your name on your posts. Thank you!
