When I was analyzing the riding in essay 1 it made me realize that I was indeed not putting all my potential and my effort into my writing as I did not follow along with all the directions as well as I should have. This assignment was a good lesson on how to critique your own work as well as you do others. I found myself being too focused on critiquing the student sample essay that I forgot to take some time to slow down and make sure that I wasn’t making the same mistakes I was writing my own essay. For my future essays I am going to most definitely take a better and longer look at all the writing directions and make sure all my thoughts are coming across the way I intended them too as well as finding better ways to formulate my ideas more coherently throughout the text.

I totally agree. I found myself getting so lost in the sample students mistakes, I’d also lose track of my own structure. What helped me was trying to make a checklist. Checking off each of the students mistakes, and making sure I didn’t make the same in the revision process. I also agree, in the future my revision process will be much stricter. Hopefully keeping a strict revision process will help me to adhere to the structure process.
It’s great that you recognized how important it is to critique your own work just as carefully as you critique others. I agree that slowing down and paying closer attention to the instructions is key to avoiding mistakes in future writing assignments. By taking the time to ensure your ideas are expressed clearly and coherently, you’ll definitely improve your writing. It’s a valuable lesson, and I’m sure it’ll make a big difference in your future essays! Overall, great analysis!
I can relate to your experience with essay 1. it is easy to get caught up in critiquing someone else’s work and overlook our own mistakes. Taking the time to really review the directions and ensuring that your thoughts are clearly communicated is such an important takeaway. It is great that you’ve recognized areas for improvement and are committed to refining how you express your ideas. This is a good approach in order for you to strengthen your writing moving forward.
