- The most successful assignment that I completed was essay #3. The poem I used went well with the theme of my flyer.. I received a 78%, which is the best grade I got within all four essays and that tells me that poetry is my strongest suit. Reading about the author that I used for essay #3 was very insightful. Natasha Tretheway did a great job portraying her point through her poem “Housekeeping”. As the semester progressed, my work has gotten better.
- I could’ve done better on the quizzes. I missed a couple of quizzes because I wasn’t on top of my due dates. Also if I took my time with quizzes then I probably would get a better score. Some of the quizzes I was confident about because I knew the topic of the quiz, so I thought I would’ve passed based on my knowledge. I will make sure I am on top of my assignments from here on out.
- One main thing I learned this semester is writing in MLA format. In the beginning I had issues with work citing at the end of the essay. As the semester went on, my mind tapped into my high school English classes and my work has gotten better. Using citations n MLA form can be difficult when there are no directions. But once you learn how to use citations it get simpler.

One thought on “Prescious Theriot Week 15”
Prescious, honestly, what you learned about yourself by creating the poetry flyer and how much more comfortable you became with citation of sources are so much more important than quiz scores. And you are so right that the more you use citations and create Works Cited pages, the easier and more natural it will become for you. You didn’t mention your wonderful participation in the Zoom classes, which is a reflection of academic curiosity, engagement, and generosity to your colleagues.
