My strategy to making my essay better this time is to add lots of quotes and questions so that I have more to elaborate on and talk about. In order for me to have a good essay or have enough evidence I pay attention to my structure of sentences and paragraphs because sometimes I ramble on and on about things. Also I get distracted, so when I get distracted I tend to lose track of what I was trying to say or write about. My goal is once I start to write or plan my essay I want to be able to sit down and do it without being distracted or leave from my thoughts and go do something else. I want to be able to do something in one sitting and be able to think of something to write about within a certain amount of time period. Some steps that I will take to accomplish this goal is to start out with trying to do other homework in one sitting without getting distracted and doing something else. I think by starting out smaller than writing an essay first will help me because I can grow into it, without just jumping right into typing a six page essay. This would help me because I will be able to think of little things before big things, but it will allow me to try something new and learn new things. My biggest challenge trying to find things to talk about in a short manner of time and doing my essay in time for the due date. I think that I sometimes wait til later to do it so I feel really stressed about and try to rush through it, so then there isn’t a lot of ideas, evidence, or proof in the essay. This is a big challenge because one time that I do my essay late I feel that I’m going to not do it and then i’ll be behind on my work and losing points for not doing my essay. I just think that if I get my work done without being distracted or do something else while I’m doing it I would be more likely to finish it. To solve a big problem like I said before I would meet with Amy or I would go to a teacher for help, also maybe ask my peers to help me through something, depends on what it was.
