During Essay 1 , I learned many valuable lessons I am not afraid to be honest and say sometimes as college students life can get the best of us which can dictate how efficiently we perform in class . During the writing of essay 1 I did not follow any directions which led me to get a failing grade luckily our professor has allowed us to revise . Following directions all the way through and make sure you are reading to understand not just to read. I learned to take my time and never go without taking notes of the stories we read in class . When we read articles given by the teacher its important to fully understand the message of what the author is trying to convey even if we are reading a student written essay we must fully grasp what the author is saying to us . I also realized how easy it is to fail by not sticking to the prompt given to us . Its important not to steer off the directions . I also have problems with writing the works cited pages so I would like to focus more on my essay organization skills . Another issue I have is when I write the words can become a little conversational and I need to work on articulating my thoughts onto paper .

As I thought about writing this evaluation, I understood how important it is to carefully follow the task instructions and properly use multiple sources.One hard thing for me was making sure that my review was fair, that it pointed out both the good and bad points of the sample essay. From now on, I’ll be more careful to carefully look over an assignment’s guidelines and format before I start writing to make sure that all of the important parts are included.This experience has taught me how important it is to read both first-hand and second-hand sources carefully in order to make a strong case.
I am yet not required to complete any actual writing for activity ten in the first week. Instead, I’ll be finishing a number of important assignments in order to prepare for my first essay. Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s The Most Handsome Drowned Man will be my first read. I’ll next read Dean Rader’s “The Most Handsome Drowned Man” overview. In order to understand how to properly include quotes into a literary essay and create an effective thesis statement, I will also review the writing guide resources. I’ll also view the MLA Citations guide (activity 8) and the video on why formatting matters (activity 7). Following these steps will help me be ready to assess a student essay example in the same way that a professor would. This finishes my work for activity 10 of the first week.
