When writing essay 1, it was definitely a challenging experience for me. When reading the student sample I struggled with understanding what the student was trying to say while also trying to connect their writing to the rubric. I often needed to reread the sample to grasp it’s meaning. I realized that i was focusing too much on what the student did well, rather than analyzing how well the essay followed the rubric and assignment criteria. This taught me the importance of being more specific and focused in my writing. In future assignments, Essay 1 will help me be more confident in providing clear, well supported points. I understand the need to refer back to the text and elaborate on specific examples to make my analysis stronger. This experience will guide me in making my writing more precise and analytical in the future. Also ensuring that i meet the assignment expectations fully.

Your submission resonated with my experience so much. This was also a challenging experience for me. I definitely read the essay multiple times in order to make the proper connections to the rubric. Elaboration was also my struggle, “I am a very get to the point” type of person and writer so having to write this essay definitely also taught me the importance of elaborating effectively. Thank you for this submission. I also believe that writing out a clear outline to prepare myself better would help
