1) I am most proud of my outline. It has all of my ideas and my quotes in there and everything is perfection. I have all the things I wrote drafted in the outline and I wrote my paper off of that. I kept what all the quotes meant so if I did not know how to explain it then I would look back into my outline and see what the quotes meant.

2)A resource I used was thesaurus.com for different words other than saying and,but,or,etc a bunch of times. A strategy I used was working on putting my quotes in my outline and then drafting the physical paper at home. It worked for me because I felt like there was time to do it and then I did not have to scramble at home to finish a paper or essay that I had no idea about. I had order and that's exactly what I needed.

3) My biggest challenge was definitely making my thesis. I usually LOVE making the thesis, but with this particular short fictional story there were so many to chose from that I had so many ideas in my brain that it was a mumble jumble of ideas, that they were all mixed together.

4) A piece of advice that I have for a future class starting on demands is that you have to have a SUPER strong introduction and more importantly a thesis, because it is the start of your paper so if it suck then the reader will not want to read the rest of the story, paper, essay, etc. You have to want to start your story off in a really strong way to make the rest of the story great!

1. I am very proud of this essay, one thing I am especially proud of is the process I used. I was never behind in my paragraphs, I always had them done on time. I was easily able to complete my essay on time and keep up with the class.

2. One of my biggest resources was my outline. This really helped my piece to go together smoothly. My editing circle people (Tealyn, Peyton, and Evvie) really helped me to make my piece the best it could be. Three other people who really helped me a lot were Anja, Jaden, and Maria. They all helped me to read and edit it. It was them who helped me to make my piece perfection.

3. My biggest challenge was coming up with my subtopics. Once I had my boxes and bullets down I was able to write my paragraphs no problem. I just needed help to come up with the ideas. To get help I went the people in my PLN, like the people I mentioned above and my parents.

4. Some advice I would like to give for the On Demand is to use all of your resources and you should always keep in mind that your writing is just as good as anyone else's and if you put in time and effort, then your writing can become AMAZING!!! Stay on task and perceiver to the end so you can achieve greatness.

1. I am most proud of my body paragraph two because I feel that I worked on that that the most and I feel like I did a great job on my paragraph two I think that this was my best paragraph because I put the most of my time into paragraph 2.

2.I used my story as my resource because that gave me the most information to me like all of the quotes and the information.

3.My biggest challenge was probably the conclusion. The conclusion was the hardest because I did not know how to end the essay. Then I got help from some of my PLN helpers and then they helped me how to end my story.

4. My advice that I would want to share would be that if you get stuck on something, ask for help like I did and you could get some of the best help you could possibly get and not struggle anymore.

1. What am I most proud of? I am most proud of my third body paragraph. It is one of the longest paragraphs I wrote, and I think it has the best evidence, too. When I was writing it, I wanted to make sure that my ending was strong, and it was. I used a lot of quotes, and explained every quote thoroughly. Some of my other paragraphs were borderline-summary, and while I fixed them to explain the theme, my third body paragraph kind of came to me naturally, I didn’t take that much effort, and it still turned out great.

2. What strategies and resources did I use? I made sure to use the boxes and bullets structure for all of my quotes, and then I explained them later in my essay. I just put the quotes for organization, because it’s hard for me to work when things aren’t organized and all nice. I relied on my friends a lot, mostly Maddie and Maria, for checking my work and making sure I was doing everything right. (They’re quite good at it.) They made my essay a lot better than it would be with just my edit circle and me.

3. What was my biggest challenge, and how did I overcome it? My biggest challenge was probably the introduction. I got stuck on writing it, I didn’t really know what to say. When I would write something down I didn’t really like it. I had Maddie and other people in my PLN help me with it, and it ended up turning out pretty good. I also got through it by persevering, and after a lot of trial and error, I found something I was happy with.

4. What advice do I have? Challenges are challenges, they won’t stop you. Although some stuff may be hard, just keep working until you think your writing is good. If it takes longer than everyone else to write something, it’s fine. Focus on the quality of your work, not how fast you can get it done. If you do that, even if it may take a long time, you’ll have a better outcome, or consequence. (ha ha.)

2.I found my story most helpful because It helped me grow as a writer and learn more about reading and writing.

3.The biggest challenge I had was my conclusion because It was hard to find quotes in the Beginning but in the end I was able to find quotes.

4.My advice Is try your best and stay focused and if your friends try to distract you tell them to be quite.

1- I'm most proud of my paragraph one and introduction because I feel I put the most effort on those two.

2- I found my story most helpful because it got me all me info and every time I would read it again I would get something new out of it.

3-The biggest challenge I had is my conclusion. I over came that asking my PLN for help and also asking anyone around me.

4- My advice is to stay focused through all the work time you got because it's hard to get caught up again. Also that you should make sure multiple times that you have three quotes in each body paragraph.

I am most proud of my third body paragraph. This paragraph has the most evidence to my thesis statement, "I think that Aunt Chip and Eli shows us to have courage and stand up for what you believe in." Things I found helpful were the people that helped me and the templates that we were given. My biggest challenge was that I couldn't find enough evidence for my second body paragraph. I overcame this struggle by finding people who would help me. Advice that I have for people is to never give up. Also you should always ask for help, even if you don't need it, someone could find ways to help you that you didnt even know you needed help for.

The journey has finally came to an end!! It’s been the longest ride to completing the essay, it feels spectacular to be done! I am a astonished that I’ve came so far, I’m surprised that the journey ended so fast. It’s time to celebrate and reflect on our adventure together. It wasn’t easy, but we preserved. We started with an understanding of a themed-based thesis and ended with the “turn in” button in Google Classroom. I am most proud of my introduction. I never knew that I could collect facts and use resources like a author.

I used Aunt Chip and the Great Triple Creek Dam Affair as a resource to find, facts and show that I can back up my evidence. Using the story really helped in my story to bring it all together. Because if I didn’t used text evidence from the story it would be very plaine. I also added quotes to make my story make more sense.

My biggest challenge in writing the essay was, trying to base everything on your thesis statement. That was a challenge for me because knowing that there is only so little facts you can find, can be a challenge. Another challenge was trying to do the themed-based Literary Essay by yourself, sometimes when your struggling to find text evidence. I overcame that fear by, taking my time and asking questions when needed. I used what I knew from past experiences from actual Literary Essay’s. And also using the thinking prompt to help essayist’s think, that also really helped too.

The advice that I can give to my classmates for on Demand-Writing is that don’t be afraid to ask questions, be ready to research topics. Don’t be afraid to be yourself.

# data[].attributes.body
what I'm most proud of? I'm most proud of my introduction, because I worked really hard on it it turned out very well. What strategies and resources did I find most useful? I think the editing check list is the most useful because as I was writing I would make sure I had everything on the list so I wouldn't have to go back and put it in. What was my biggest challenge and how did I overcome it? My biggest challenge was the conclusion, and I overcame it by working as hard as I could on it and used my resources. What advice do I have for my classmates? My advice is to work as hard as you can and don't forget to use the resources.

# data[].attributes.body
I am most proud of my conclusion because I think that it really ties everything back together in a smooth form. My strategy was to look back and forth to the story and to my paper so I new that my quotes were right and not worded wrongly. My biggest challenge was when my theme was wrong and did not make any seance and I technically had to start all over.I over came this by talking to Miss. Reuter and she gave me some good pointers and that made my piece much stronger than it was before I had asked her for help. My advice for you is to read the story that you are writing about about 2 times and then see what the story was telling you and then find the evidence in the story from the beginning , middle and end and that will help you get the perficte essay.

# data[].attributes.body
I am most proud of my third body paragraph because it had lots of detail and had the most evidence. I also spent a long time working on the third paragraph, which I am proud of. My strategies were to find a topic, and find quotes or evidence relating to the topic to help support it. My biggest challenge was finding a new topic, because I had to restart my essay. I overcame it by looking through the story and thinking of themes that represent it. My advice is that even if you're stuck, keep trying.

# data[].attributes.body
I am proud of my Lead and conclusion because those are my favorite paragraphs to write ,I always got a 4 on it which really nice. The best resource I used was the story , without knowing what happens in the story it would be impossible to write the story. My biggest Challenge was paragraph 1 ,I didn't know what thought prompt to use. The next day I say the big sticky note saying though prompts which help me. You need to defeat the fear of failing before being successful, to success you need to fail at least once.

# data[].attributes.body
I am most proud of my end because it had the most detail best quotes, and it made the whole story fit together.Also the middle because it has the most quotes. The best resources I used were the people in my pln and the story Aunt Chip And The Great Triple Creek Dam Affair.The most challenging part was when I had to find all the quotes for each topic sentence. The people that helped me were Djordje, editing circle, and Mrs. Reuter because they all did the best they could and they did do the best.

Yay! I have gone through a lot to complete this essay and it feels good to be done! Right as I pushed that "turn in" button, I felt so good, and just wanted to celebrate. I was proud of the fact that I found the quotes as easily as I could, and they matched the text very well, I also explained the quotes really good and their meanings. When I had the story right next to me, I was always able to add more facts, as I was on the writing journey. My biggest challenge, I think, was finding those extra details, to go along with the quotes easily. I read the story over and over again, and each time, I was able to find more supporting details. I want to give a special thanks to Braden B., Anthony H., and Peyton G, for helping me along the journey with my struggles. I also want to thank my editing circle. I need to tell people in all blocks, to keep trying, and never give up.

# data[].attributes.body
I am most proud of the fact that I got this done on time. I mostly let big assignments like this drag on and on and on and on. So getting this done on time was a big achievement for me.

The most helpful thing that helped me during this essay was the story its self. I could always go back to it when I needed to. I used it to fined quotes and events that I needed for the essay.

The one thing that was the most challenging for me was finding the thesis. I didn't want to do the same thesis that other people were writing, I wanted to write a unique thesis.

My suggestion is to stop and think. Don't try to rush through the essay. But don't work to slow that you don't get it done in time.

# data[].attributes.body
I am most proud of my conclusion because I think I really got through to the reader and explained myself clearly. I also included everything in the rubric.

One resource that I used a lot was my PLN. the people in my PLN really helped me revise and make my paper better by proofreading it and helping me reword some spots.

My biggest challenge was my Introduction. It was hard for me to figure out a way to start my paper, to include the plot summary, and to let it run smoothly. I overcame this by getting help from my PLN.

My advice for classmates is to use what you know, and to use your resources.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I am most proud of my introduction because I put in lots of effort on it and had lots of detail in the story. In the story I got lots of strategies to put in my story. I want to give a special thank you to Alex O for helping me on all my struggles in the story.

2. A resource, I used Aunt Chip as a resource because it had everything that I needed to finish my essay. The resource gave me lots of great ideas of Aunt Chip.

3.What was my biggest challenge? My biggest challenge was my conclusion because it took periods of time to see what will fit in on my thesis statement.

4. My advice for my classmates? My advice for my classmates is that you should never give up and keep on working on your essay. Even if it is hard, you should never give up on yourself and just keep on working and never stop when your essay is all finished to make your teacher proud.

1. What am I most proud of ? I am proud of getting my paragraphs done and having people go through and not find many mistakes.Also I am proud of getting it done with the amount of time we had.

2. Some big challenges I had where not being able to use my computer and finding the info I need to state my thesis strongly thought the entire essay. Another challenge is having extra info to put in my ending.

3. some of my recourse where "aunt chip and the triple creek dam affair" ,some of my class mates as well as the teacher miss Reuter.

4. Some advice I have for my class mates is that you should check to make sure you have enough information before you start to do the assignment and to make shure you have enough info in each of your paragraph if not extra just to get your note across.

I am most proud of my body paragraph two, because I think it has lots of details, information, and quotes. Another reason I am most proud of my body paragraph two, is I worked very hard on it. I worked hard on all of my other paragraphs, but my body paragraph two has always been my favorite paragraph ever since we started to write a theme based literary essay. The last reason about how proud I am about my body paragraph two in my theme based literary essay, is it always stuck out to me. Body paragraph two was that one paragraph that you always re-read. Which was my body paragraph two.

The strategies I used for my theme based literary essay, was to read each paragraph and then re-read it about three times. The other strategy I used was to use a check list, the check list I used was the one paper Mrs. Reuter gave to my whole class. The resources I used were all of the paper's Mrs. Reuter gave to my class and I. The other resource I used a lot was the realistic fiction story "Aunt Chip and the Great Triple Creek Dam Affair."

My biggest challenge in my theme based literary was my worst writers block for writing I have ever had. I had extreme writer's block. Mrs. Reuter really helped me overcome my writers block, as she was helping one of the other students in my class and her were discussing things. Then it popped into my mind, it clicked my writers block just disappeared.

My advice for the On demand literary essays, is to always think you can do it, never lose faith. Always be confidence about your writing, and don't worry about others opinions. Also, always try your hardest for great grades.

I am most proud of successfully finishing my paper and not missing any work that I was supposed to. I'm also proud of how hard I worked on my paper and I really think that I aced this paper!

I read the story like 13 times and looked for useful quotes. I also asked someone for help. Shout out to Braden and Spencer! Personally, the most helpful resource was my friends. I always asked them for feedback and they really helped!

My biggest Challenge... well I had A LOT of challenges. I had a real challenge. That was getting bored and tired of working and slacking off. But my friends helped me and said for me to get to work! Also I got an empty brain sometimes and didn't know what to write. So I just closed my eyes, took a deep breath and relaxed for about five minutes. It worked too!

Some advice I have for my friends is that remember to stay on task and work hard for this next one. Just because it's the last assignment doesn't mean it doesn't go in the gradebook. So don't slack off, and get it done

1.) What am I most proud of? I am most proud of my body paragraph 1 because I believe it is very unique because I talked about how the townspeople never interacted with each other and about how they didn't know how to read. I am also proud of it because I felt that I really did a good job having the quotes flow together.

2.) What strategies and resources did I use that I found most helpful. I think that the literary essay checklist helped me a lot because It told me exactly what I needed and the revised one even told me what I should use to check the box off.

3.) What was my biggest challenge and how did I over come it? I would say my biggest challenge was my conclusion because after three super long paragraphs plus an introduction, I was really out of steam to write another paragraph. I over came the challenge by taking a short 5 minute break when I was writing the conclusion to really think about what I was going to say.

4.) What advice do I have for my classmates? My advice is: If you need either a 5 minute break or an hour break take it. But if you do take a break, then try and remember to get beck to work. Also, If you sometimes need to just take a day away from writing, I'd do it but still eventually want to get back to writing.

1.) The one thing that I am most proud of in my essay is all the work I put into it. No matter what challenges I faced I never gave up and said " I can't do it". I pushed myself to getting to where I am now. Done and happy.=)

2.) I found that the most important resource I used in this processes was the story. This is important because the most important part of the story are the quotes. So you can beck up your statement.=)

3.) A huge challenge I faced were, spelling. I was never good at spelling and I struggle with it a lot. But when ever I didn't know how to spell a word I would ask someone or guess. =)

4,) That I should practice on my spelling. Witch I understood. And urged me to start practicing spelling.=)

1. What am I most proud of? I am most proud of my paragraph 3 because overall it has the most detail and explanations to my quotes, plus I put the most work into it. Although I like my conclusion because I believe that it was a good paragraph to wrap up my essay, I would still have to say I'm most proud of my paragraph 3 because it has the best explanations and I spent the most time and effort on it.

2. What strategies and resources did I use that I found most helpful? I found that the best resources where my friends because they gave me advice that I used to make my essay better. A strategy that I used was to persevere and keep working hard because when I thought that I didn't have anything to say, I kept thinking of ways to explain it better and in the end it turned out great.

3. What was my biggest challenge? At first my biggest challenge was my conclusion because I couldn't think of a good way to word it so that it would wrap up the essay nicely, but then I started to get the hang of it so it turned out good. Another challenge was at first my paragraph 3 seemed that it was going downhill but then it turned out to be the best paragraph I had.

4. What advice do I have for my classmates as we begin the on demand benchmark assessment? Some advice I have is to do your best work because the on demands are the ones that really count. Some more advice that I have is make sure you persevere and keep going because you know what they say when you think you done, you've just begun.

1. I am most proud of my 3rd body paragraph because it as good quotes and many details to support my Thesis Statement along with good thought prompts.

2. One recourse I used was the thought prompts poster because it has many good sentence starters to use after a quote. It also flows good and sounds well in my story.

3. My biggest challenge was finding good quotes to tie in with my Thesis Statement and ones that would make sense in my body paragraphs. How I prevented this was reading Aunt Chip over and over again to find those quotes that I may have missed.

4.Some advice I have is to read the story a ton because you may have missed some important deatils or quotes that you could use in your paper.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I am most proud of all of the hard work and effort I have put into my story. It takes a ton of hard work for me because last year I was a horrible writer, this year I have been doing so much better in writing.

2. A couple of strategies that I found useful was my PLN. I had a lot of people from m PLN help me with my story and edit it. Even if people around you aren't in your PLN don't be afraid to ask them for help. If you have another person help you it is so much easier than you trying to read it over and over.

3. My biggest challenge was my conclusion because I am not good at leaving someone wit something to think about at the end of a sentence. Meg and Mrs. Reuter helped me with this a ton because they gave me so much support and helped me write a good conclusion.

4. Some advice that I have for people is that you should take your time because this is not a race and it does not matter how long your paragraphs are it just matters how good they are.

# data[].attributes.body
1- What are you most proud of? I am most proud of my body paragraphs because I work extremely hard on all three of them and it took me a while to find the most powerful evidence in the beginning, middle and end. I am also most proud of them because they not only did I find very powerful evidence, but I also tried extremely hard to back up my evidence, and I feel that I did very well on backing up my evidence and giving strong and powerful statements to the reader.

2- What strategies and resources did you use that you found most helpful? The strategies I found most helpful were the people in my PLN. I find them the most helpful because when I had felt that something in my paper wasn’t just right, they helped me and gave me very good advice that improved my paper a bunch and made my paper very powerful, important, and very good.

3- What was your biggest challenge and how did you overcome it? My biggest challenge was my conclusion. My conclusion was my biggest challenge because I had a conclusion, and I had felt that my conclusion was terrible. I overcame my challenge by asking for help from a friend from my PLN, and they explained to me what a good conclusion needed. She also gave me an example by reading her conclusion to me, and that inspired me. Now my conclusion is better than my first draft, and I feel very proud and confident in my conclusion.
4- What advice do you have for your classmates as we begin the On Demand Literary Essay? My advice is to not worry so much about how much you write, but how powerful your essay is because you aren’t graded on how much you write, but you are graded on if your writing can persuade a person, move a person’s point of view, and how powerful and important your writing is.

1. What am i most proud of? I am most proud of my introduction because all of the people that read it loved my intro. It was probably the hardest for me i couldn't think of a thing, but Mrs. Reuter helped me through a lot of it.

2.Some the resources i used was the story Aunt Chip And The Great Triple Creek Dam Affair. It was the most helpful resource i used because the sory helped me get all of my quotes and make my story what it is.

3. My biggest challenge was my quotes because you had to find the right quote for your topic and your thesis. Quotes are the most hardest for me because you have to take lots of time to see if the quote fits the story.

4. What advice i have for my classmates? Is to make sure you have a good thick paragraphs and to have the quotes and the whole story fit you thesis. GOOD LUCK!!! Hope you did well.

I am most proud of the hard work and the way I persevered. Sometimes I didn't know what else I could put in but I kept trying and trying. I am also proud of my end result. I used the story for help a lot so I could get text evidence and quotes. The biggest challenge I faced was when I had to find more quotes and I couldn't find enough text evidence. I over came it by asking my PLN for help so they helped me get some good text evidence. I would say for some advice to make sure you have a strong theme so you can have some good thoughts throughout the story and good text evidence. GOOD LUCK and HAVE FUN!!!

1.) What am I most proud? I am most proud of is my introduction because it took me a long period of time to think. I believe that my introduction is my strongest paragraph because it leads the reader in to my writing and I'm the most confident with this piece of writing.  I'm happy with my entire essay but, this paragraph struck out to me the most. I'm really happy with how it turned out and hope to have more introductions like it.

2.) A resource I used was the "Aunt Chip and the Great Dam Affair" story. It helped me understand the story better and pull out the quotes that are needed. Another big resource was my friends, for example, Luke and Peyton. My parents and my teacher Mrs. Reuter are a great help you get stuck in a jam and you don't know what to type. This is a big help if you need one because your parents and teachers are always there for you.

3.)What was my biggest challenge? My biggest challenge was trying to conclude the story. My conclusion was toughest paragraph, I spent at least two to three hours working on it. When I finally finished I was so proud because I struggled but came back up with an amazing ending. This was when I realized that you can start with something bad and rise back up and have something that amazes you.

4.) What advice I have for classmates? My advice is that you stick to it and never stop trying. This little piece of advice can help you overcome most problems, as long as you never stop trying. I had learned this throughout the entire year and I still try to stick with it. This can help you become a better writer and a better person. That's my advice.

I am most proud of my body paragraphs 1,2, and 3, because I put the most time and effort into those. Also, because I added a lot of evidence from the text into those paragraphs. One resource I found helpful was The Literary Essay Outline, because I used it a lot, and it really helped me stay on track. My biggest challenge was writing my introduction and conclusion. I had a hard time on those because I didn't really understand how to write them, until I asked: Maria, Tealyn, Kirsten, and Anja. One piece of advice I have for my classmates is to keep up with your work.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that I am most proud of my conclusion. I love the way that my thesis/ or claim let me add a real person that I could relate to one of the characters in the book. I tied in Dr.Seuss and compared him to my main character and I thought that it was a really good way to show and compare the characters in the story. The story that we did was “Aunt Chip and the Great Triple Creek Dam Affair” by Patricia Polacco .

I had Cat help me with my thesis in the way of editing and revising it. She helped me improve my story and help me with errors that other partners couldn’t see. She really helped me and I think she was a really big help in my literary essay she helped me improve it a lot. She helped me with running on and getting directly to the point.

My biggest challenge was probably making my essay sound really fluent and I think that it was really tough to make it sound so fluent but I had my PLN to help me and Cat helped me too. They helped me but giving advice about what to do and what not to do, and what was too much and what was not enough. But that was a really challenging thing for me to accomplish and I think that that was a big thing for me to overcome my habit of running on and not clearly getting to the point.

My advice for my classmates is that you have to get to the point as fast as you can and you can stall on your paper but you really shouldn't it is a bad habit.

Also you should have a really good thesis statement that can basically describe what your essay is all about.

I am most proud of finishing and perfecting my edits, even though I was not there when we "officially did the edits." This is because i didn't just say "ugh" and give up, i pushed through and made sure that i kept on it. I found Gavin very helpful because he gave me advice on how to approach the paragraphs and told me how to use resources wisely and correctly. He also was helpful because he pushed me to make sure i had everything done. My biggest challenge was probably the thesis. This was a challenge because i wasn't too sure on how to approach and write it. I overcame it by asking lexi and nick for help, and consulting other people in my PLN just to make sure. My advice for my classmates is to probabaly not stress the problem, keept it at the level it should be, not at the level where you get a panic attack and freak out.

What I am most proud of in my essay is my Introduction paragraph because it is the part of the story that is most likely to pull the reader in. I also am most proud of it because I worked on the introduction just a little bit longer than the rest of my paragraphs. The resources I used to hep me were the posters around the room because they can help if you want to get some thoughts on what you are doing. Another resource that helped me was some of the people in my pln, and Alex D. Also the book helped me to see which quotes I was going to use in my essay. I didn’t really use a certain process besides doing the body paragraphs first then going on to the introduction then last I did the conclusion. After I did the paragraphs I did some editing before the edit circles.

What I am most proud of is my introduction and getting it done on time. My friends Maria, Kirsten , Tealyn, And Jaden helped me make my literary essay better. My biggest challenge was making my body paragraphs explanatory and deep. How I overcame it was by getting as much quotes and information as I could from the story. Some advice I have for my classmates is really try to dig deeper into the story and do your best.

# data[].attributes.body
What I am most proud of is my intro... because, I think that it had good examples of things that were going to happen in the later story.

My Strategies and resources were the Thought Prompts, and the check list, This helped me because the Thought Prompts helped me when I needed help with my quotes to give evidence to my quotes. The check list helped me with when I didn't know what to put into my body paragraphs and my intro also my ending.

One of my biggest challenges was that I forgot to put the Thought Prompts in the first body paragraph so I needed to go back and use the Thought Prompts poster to help me also my friends on my P.L.N. to help me with it to.

I think that you can check over your writing also you can get some help from your friends. Also one of the people that helped me was Lexi.

I am most proud of my Intro because it gives people a great idea of what they are about to read. I am also proud of it because meets all expectations of what you would see in a introduction. I think some resources that I used was my checklist because I needed to know what to have or else I could mess up my whole essay. Some strategies I use are making sure one body paragraph is good or else none of them are good. My biggest challenge was the first body paragraph because I knew that if I used something that I shouldn't have on all my paragraphs because I used it on my first one and I thought is was okay then all my paragraphs would be ruined. I overcame it by finding out what works and what doesn't work. Some advice I have is to find what works before you use it on all your paragraphs and to make sure you have everything and make sure it's really what you want on your essay.

I am most proud of my attention to detail in spelling errors and capitalization. I am also proud of my use of various thought prompts, but I still found it a bit difficult to figure out which one is the best to use within that statement and paragraph. Some strategies I used were the help of some people in my PLN and at my table, Anthony, Sid, and Nick, and looking back at our Raymond's Run essay for reference on things like the paragraph format the conclusion and introduction having to do with where the thesis statement goes. I also used the thought prompts to express why I thought why this evidence is helping me prove my statement true. My biggest challenge was using the paragraph formatting and using the thought prompts correctly. I overcame it by asking my peers for help and checking in with them to make sure I was doing it correctly. Some advice I have is, don't be afraid to ask questions and try to help others when they ask you questions to check in with you as well, because you would like to return the favor if someone else helped you already.

I am most proud of getting the project done on time with small errors and mistakes. And sometimes even not getting the paragraphs done in time. But at the end I got it done on time. I really like using the literary essay checklist and rubrick. It helped me know what I got done and what I need to work on still. My biggest challenge was writing the paragraphs. It was a little hard finding all the information that I need. So I took a break and waited then I started again. During that break I went through the story Some advice that I would give is to set goals for yourself and ask for help and just take little breaks. also work on it at home to help get it done on time. Go over the story a couple times to to find more information that you might need. Spend some time thinking about it too and try just retyping the paragraph unless you have something good going.

I am most proud of getting it done on time because I was falling behind a lot and I still got it done on time and even at home I was just doing it all night and never got off of the computer. One thing that my dad always said was always ask questions it let's you now what your doing. My biggest challenge was that I was still on the 1st paragraph when other people were done with the 3rd paragraph. What I used is the story to help me on my introduction was my Frankie introduction and also my parents help me on it. What I overcome is that not getting my 2nd and 3rd paragraph done is and I didn't do it right about 3 times and then I tried it again and I got it right.,

I I'm most proud of how I got evidence from the text that fit with my thesis, also I'm proud of how I put all the pieces together in my writing for example, I had to find the right evidence, I had to explain what it meant and how I found the right words to put in my paragraphs . Some of the strategies I use were the writing check list, of course my PLN, and the rubric . I really struggled making my perfect thesis and finding the right quote for it. What I would recomend for my class mates is that you should highlight what you think is important from the story, so you can find quotes easier.

# data[].attributes.body
I am proud that I got my body paragraphs done on time. I am proud of that because usually I am always behind but not this time. I worked hard and got everything I needed to get done, done.

I found most helpful to talk to my friend Hayley because she always had great advise and suggestions and was not afraid to tell me if I messed up or made a mistakes or it just didn't make sense. And always Mrs. Reuter was a good help. Also using the papers that Mrs Reuter handed out to help us like when we were checking to make sure we had everything we used the checklist she gave us.

My biggest challenge was my introduction and conclusion. I have trouble making my introduction the way I want it to be. I think the problem with writing introduction is me wanting it to sound prefect and be perfect. Another challenge I had was making sure I put the quotes in perfectly. How I fix this was I just did my best.

# data[].attributes.body
I am proud on my Introduction because to me it feels like a good way to start a Theme-based literary essay. Also, I most proud of my Conclusion too because it leaves the reader wondering is he right or is he wrong of what the theme is of this book.

What resources that was most helpful to me is the Literary Essay checklist because it helped me to check and she if I have all of this and see what I'm missing so I can add what I'm missing to make this essay the best it can be.

What was the biggest challenge to me was writing the 3 paragraphs because I needed to quotes, evidences, and finding section of the story and using them in my paragraphs so I can prove that this theme is right.

For my advice for the On Demand is try to do the best so you can be proud of yourself when done with the Essay.

One thing I am proud of is how I was able to find the lesson in the story and make a essay that may effect some people. I am also so proud of how much I worked on my essay and really worked to get it done! How? I used many things and people to help me get my essay to a higher standard. I used my binder and the actually book " Aunt Chip and the Great Triple Creek Dam Affair" Many others helped me to, such as Kirsten, Jaden, Maria and my my editing circle and of course Mrs. Reuter! One of my biggest troubles was finding a lesson and making my thesis statement! What did I do? I looked back in the book for evidence and saw some meaning of the book that weren't obvious to others and used it to make my essay stronger. My advice, Look for something personal, something that may mean a lot to you. It will help you power through because it is meaningful, and matters to YOU. Not the teacher. Not your friends. YOU.

# data[].attributes.body
I am most proud of my in the beginning paragraph because I put the most work into my in the beginning paragraph, another example of why I am proud of my in the beginning is because I put way more detail into my first paragraph.

One of the best resources was all the packets and sheets mrs. Reuter gave us. Also another one was kyle because he fixed a lot of my errors i made and also gave me some good advice.

The biggest challenge for me was the conclusion because i had to have the thesis at the end and also have kinda like a question at the end.

Some adivice is to take your time and do not rush because when you rush you make alot of spelling erros

I am most proud of my body paragraphs because I had never took as much time as I did on this literary essay. I took the time to just make sure that everything was nice and solid with some good notes. One of my greatest resources was Sam. Sam helped me through having things make more sense, make it sound better and just make me a better writer. Another strategy I used was to make sure I had quotes that would fit with my Topic sentence but more important make sure my topic sentences would fit my Thesis statement. My biggest challenge was to make sure I had enough information in my body paragraphs. I overcame this by just reading the story a couple more times until I could generate more ideas on how to use it. Thesis statements are pretty much how the essay will look and next time I will spend more time on It. That's my Advice

Recently we just finished are DWAs or Literary Essays. The thing that I am most proud of is my ending. I liked that it flowed very well and ended in a thoughtful statement. Though the process was long, my friends helped me through it. Kirsten, Tealyn, Anja, and Jaden edited my paper and answered my many questions. They helped me if I thought something didn't make sense, or if I didn't know what to write.  Meg also helped me edit my paper and gave me good feed back, along with Mrs. Reuter and my editing circle Alan and Alex R. The hardest part for me was coming up with my thesis. It was challenging because I had to make sure I had enough evidence before I wrote my essay.  I overcame it by making my thesis talk about the whole story not a part, also reading through the story more. My advice for everyone when writing their On Demands is to take time with your thesis because it will be harder to write their essay if they don't have a good thesis. Also remember to relate back to your thesis. Good luck!

The past couple of weeks, we have been working on our theme based literary essay. This was a great experience for me, because there are many thing's I learned, especially because this was the first theme based literary essay I have done!

I am most proud of working on it at home so that I could get it done. Instead of just playing video games or something else that would've come up. I got it done and made sure I stayed with the class, so that I didn't get behind. Or that my paper wasn't rushed.

One of my resources that I was very happy to have along side me. Was Sam. We both made sure to check over each other's work, but also to give each other pointer's and those type of thing's, so that our paper was flawless.

When writing my literary essay, the beginning and ending was definitely the hardest part. I say this because it has always been a struggle for me, however having a person to help me was great. I also just persevered through it and just got it done, so it would be done.

The most important heads up, or tips to future essayists is. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH NOTES, AND ENOUGH INFORMATION! This is by far, the most important part. If you aren't able to back up your claim, or your thesis statement. Then it really isn't a real Essay

# data[].attributes.body
I am most proud of how I missed a couple days of drafting and was able to come back and work on it at home and during resource and I/E time. I am also proud off my introduction and conclusion. I am proud of how much feedback I got from my editing circles and PLN because they found mistakes that I did not see.

I found the story and my old literary essay the most helpful resource because I was able to find lots of quotes and look at my other literary essay for structure. I also found out that my PLN was very very helpful because they were able to edit for me.

The biggest challenge that I had was having to work at home with no classmates to read over and edit my story. I overcame that by texting one of my friends that was working on the same essay in a different block to give me some pointers when writing the literary essay.

My advice to other classmates would be to make sure that they keep the rubric in mind and use the same structure as the ones we have done together. We also need to remember to prepare for the essay and maybe write a practice essay.

I am most proud of being able to pull good, relevant evidence from the story to support my thesis. I just focused and used the "Thought Prompts that help an essayist think and write.", "Turning Theme into Thesis", and "Literary Essay Checklist: How do I measure up?" My biggest challenge was coming up with a thesis statement that REALLY shows what it is all about because there are many things that teach you a lesson or a character a lesson within the story. The story that we just did Aunt Chip and the Great Triple Creek Dam Affair by Patricia Polacco teaches VERY many lessons to us and the characters within the story. My advice is that you need to make sure you have advice and that you're able to explain why it works or not. Because if you can't do that, then there's a flaw in your thesis statement.

# data[].attributes.body
I am most proud of my conclusion. I think that my ending was very strong and it had a great last sentence to sum it all up. I thought that the most helpful was the checklist. It helped to see if I have all of the things that I am suppose to have. My biggest challenge was my third paragraph. It was hard to write because I just couldn't think of anything to write. But then I really focused and I powered through. I felt so happy that it was finished. I overcame it by thinking of nothing but the topic and just wrote it strong. One advice is to stay on topic the whole time you are working. If you don't, then you won't know what to do and you won't be proud of your final piece at the end when you are all finished. So, just make sure that you are always on topic all the time.

# data[].attributes.body
I am most proud of my introduction because I think that my intro really stood out in my piece. A strategy that I used and that I recommend is that you find reasons that are clear evidence that what you are trying to say is true. Advice I have is to scrap any ideas that you can't find 3 reasons for each topic sentence. If you can't find 3, it's probably not clear or it's not a good idea.

# data[].attributes.body
I am most proud meeting the due dates of the paragraphs. The biggest resource I had used was the story I always look back at it for help. The hardest thing was editing my own paper because my partners did such a good job it was hard to find anything. I had help from Noah and Hayden they helped me with finding my thesis statement and my thesis statement in general. I think that you should ask your PLN

In my essay, i think i am most proud of the fact that I could find enough quots to support my claim. My biggest challenge was getting the thesis, and i overcame it by rereading the whole story, and getting the details to help me.

What I am most proud of is my third body paragraph.The resource I found the most helpful was the was the story Aunt Chip and the Great Triple Creek Dam Affair and the resource from Mrs.reuter.My biggest challenge was the introduction how I overcame it was to use my resouces.The advice I would give is to use all of your resource you have.

When I did my literary essay this time, I was really proud of my introduction because, to me it really stuck out and it was the best thing to read about I thought. The introduction really had good detail and it also had a short explanation about the story in my essay. My introduction had all the things that I liked and I am really happy about how I explained my thesis statement. My best resource that I used is was my friends because they helped my edit my paper and it really helped me also understand it more. Thought prompts also helped me out when I didn't know what to write. My biggest challenge that I faced was to add quotes because it didn't really make sense to me at first on what to do, but at the end of it all I finally found out what it was and that made it a lot easier for me then. The advice I would give out to my classmates would be to try your hardest and never give up and also to not just sit there and do nothing, but to work on it as hard as you can.

I'am most proud of my first paragraph because it really show my thesis statement. The resource I used as the story aunt chip and the great triple creek dam affair and the grade sheet.

I am most proud of explaining what the evidence meant in my paper because I had a hard time doing it for the last literary essay. I'm also proud of finding the evidence itself because that's not the easiest thing to do either. There were also some strategies I used that were helpful. I think the most helpful one was highlighting quotes and evidence so it was easy to draft. I also think that underlining the text in the story helped so I knew where the quote was coming from. I think that my biggest challenge was drafting because of how you need to really know what the mistakes are to find them, so it was hard for me. I overcame this by looking hard for the mistakes and using the edit checklist. I think that my advice would be to highlight your quotes because it makes it easier to edit and read.

# data[].attributes.body
I am most proud of asking for help when I needed it to make my piece better. One strategy I found most useful was asking a lot of questions because mostly if I was confused, I was very confused. My biggest challenge was my middle paragraph and finding a subtopic and evidence for it but with help I got it done. some advice I have is to refer to the story a lot because it really helps you get more evidence on and to get quotes. I also advise to highlight your quotes in the rough draft so you know where they are and you can then make sure you have at least three quotes in each paragraph. you should also really use the thought prompts because they really help you a lot and make the writing process easier.

# data[].attributes.body
In my essay I am most proud of my first paragraph because It shows my thesis statement and it really builds up my thoughts on the story. my biggest challenge was finding good quotes and reasons to support my ideas. some advice i would give is to make sure to pick a thesis statement that has a lot of support reasons or else it gets really difficult to find support reasons.

Recently, we finished our big District Writing Assessment on Literary Essays, and through that process we took, we had the time to learn, to fix, and to make something we were all proud of. I think that the thing I'm proud of the most with this experience is probably my essay writing itself. Throughout all of the process, the thing I enjoy doing the most is the writing, and to me, I believe that it really came out. This one is probably the best Literary Essay I've ever written yet, though I'm sure more opportunities will come. In addition, I think that the most helpful resource I used was the words - the book - in my hands. I could have worked with the book online, or perhaps the class only had one copy, but I think the most important thing to me was having a solid piece of my own copy, so that I could highlight, circle, note, and really strategize for what I wanted to put and create in my paper. To add on, I think the hardest obstacle for me was the revise and editing, mostly because, although I do find mistakes and fix things, I usually still feel that something isn't wrong, something can still be fixed. In the next benchmark assessment, I think that for advise, I believe that we should highlight, mark, and note things on our stories, because sometimes I believe people need direction, need something to pull them along, and I think everything that they really need is in the story. At least in Literary Essays, I think this will help you guys as much as it helps me.

I am the most proud of my third paragraph because that is where I showed how my theme really connected to the story. I also am most proud of it because I worked the hardest on it and I felt like it was one of the best paragraphs in my story because I worked so hard on it. I found the story the most helpful because it was always right there for you to use and it had quotes to help you support your theme. The other thing that I found very helpful was the rubric because if you forgot what you needed in your paragraph, introduction, or conclusion. It always gave a clear answer of what things you needed to get a certain grade. My biggest challenge was probably my introduction, because I had a really hard time thinking of how to start it and what I should say in it, but them I went back to the rubric and also asked Evvie for help and then I found out what to do. The advice that I want to give to my classmates for the On Demand assessment is that if you can't think of what to say go back to the story or if you have other resources given to you, they're probably to help you, so my advice is to go back to your resources.

When I wrote my DWA I was very proud of my thesis/claim. I worked on it for a long time and it definitely payed off because I found enough evidence to support it . I think the most useful resources and strategies are the thought prompts that help an essayist write and think, plus the conclusion an introduction slides that help you with what to put in them. One other one is the story! The story is the most important because it helps you find powerful quotes and you really do need it to do a great job. My biggest challenge even with what I needed was forming the conclusion and introduction. So I tried to write a start to them both and then conferred with people in my PLN and they helped me plan it out. My one piece of advice would be is that you should definitely underline or star powerful quotes and before anything else you should make sure you have a strong thesis. Having a strong thesis will make everything else much easier for you.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm most proud of my first paragraph because I think its my strongest paragraph.I used the story I got help from people in my PLN. My most challenging part was my intro because I just really couldn't think of anything to do so I asked Evvie for help and she really got me going and really helped me understand how to write it. My advice is to just take your time and focus on one part at a time an don't give up keep going.

I am most proud my 3rd paragraph because it is my strongest paragraph and it persuades the readers the most that you should always be wise about your choices. The 3rd paragraph for me is always the best one because it always really ends my essay with the best information to really pull the reader in. But in this essay I am most proud of my 3rd paragraph because I added something in it that I didn't add in my first two paragraphs , which was a good choice the town made instead of all bad choice the town of Triple Creek made I added a twist and added something new. A strategy I used that was very useful when I was writing my literary essay was going back and reading the story to find more information that worked with my thesis statement and supported my ideas. This was helpful because this strategy gave me quick ideas so I could finish my essay with no problems. My biggest challenge was writing an introduction because I couldn't just go to the story and find what I wanted to say, but I had to really think hard to find strong ideas. So I overcame this challenge by asking friends for advice and really thinking down deep for my best ideas I could find. Some advice I have for the on demand is that you should never give and you should always keep looking if you can't find what you want because if you keep looking you will always find something in the end if you keep going and never give up. Something else I have for advice is that these essay are a lot of work, but in the end it will be worth it that you put all of your effort into your essay because Mrs. Reuter will see all of your effort and you will earn 3 and 4's!

# data[].attributes.body
1. I thought that I was most proud of how I paced myself and got things done in time.

2. I thought that the only resources I used was the actual had cover book. It had illustrations of what was going on and some of the things in the paper copy that Mrs. Reuter gave, some of things were missing.

3. I thought that my biggest challenge during the DWA was the time crunch I was under. When I got my paragraphs done, it was fine, but I had a lot stress over this period of time. I was also worried that I might not be done in time.

4. Some advice my fellow classmates could be use your time wisely because you don't know how much time you have left. Some other advice could be is to really look for details that other people might not think of. Like, when we were in our editing circles, one of my partners had a point that I would have thought of.

So just stay ocused and it will be all right.

In my paper I was most proud of my conclusion. Mostly because I thought I did a good job wrapping up the story. The resources that helped me the most were probably the thought prompts, and Ethan's example. I thought the example was definitely helpful though because it kind of showed how to write your essay the right way. It also shows how the final sounds. The thought prompts also helped because it gave you different ways to right things so not everything you right is the same. The biggest challenge that I got into was missing one day of school. It was the day where we learned how to use the outline. This wasn't that big of a deal, but it did waste a little bit of time when I was trying to figure out how to use it. In the end it didn't matter that much because I didn't use it for more than three paragraphs. But I didn't really get into any other challenges. Overall I thought this was a lot of hard work. But it was definitely worth it.

# data[].attributes.body
I am most proud of my ending because I left the readers with something to think about when they are finished reading the story. While I wrote my DWA I used the checklist that Mrs.Mrs. Rueter gave us. The biggest challenge in my DWA was finding ways to word my topic sentences. My advice for the on demand assessment is don't wast your time talking to friends because you don't have much time to write.

# data[].attributes.body
What I am most proud of is probably the way that I have made my introduction and conclusion interesting for the reader and leaving the reader thinking about what my essay was really about. The strategies that really helped me was when we would think about what themes were in the story and I also used the another one which was asking PLN partners. The biggest problem that I had overcome was when some of my quotes weren't fitting in right and I also had the problem of getting off of my thesis statement and that is when I had my partners tell me how I could change it just a little bit to make it connect to the thesis a little bit more. Some advice that I would give to my fellow class mates is to look deeper in the story and pay attention of what the meaning is in the story like how Aunt Chip said that she didn't have enough strength to stand up to the city fathers but now she did.

# data[].attributes.body
What I'm most proud of is that I persevered through all my paragraphs. I didn't give up right in the middle of the process, and I was even ahead of the class because I finished two paragraphs in one day! Now, to help me get through all of my paragraphs, the resources I found the most helpful were the thought prompt sheets, and the story itself. Why? Because first of all the thought prompts helped me have more than just quotes in my paragraphs and the story let me figure out what the theme of the story was and it was the place where I could find quotes to backup my evidence. The challenges that I overcame was having enough evidence for each paragraph, because it took me some time to find the right quotes for the right paragraphs. I was very frustrated at that part, but now I know that I should just get it done so I don't have to worry about it! Some advice that I have is that USE THE THOUGHT PROMPTS AND TRANSITIONS...THEY HELP YOU A LOT!!!!!!!! Also, know what you are reading, meaning that you should choose a theme that you can find evidence for in every part of the story (beginning, middle, and end)... because otherwise you are going to be stuck! So, if you come across a problem or something that is terribly hard, just think of how if you do it you won't have to worry about it! As Nike says... JUST DO IT!

# data[].attributes.body
I think that out of my whole paper, my paragraph are what I am most proud of mainly because my paragraphs were very hard to write, but i got through it and I'm proud of the work I did.

The strategies I used during the process were asking Mrs. Reuter for advice, looking at the grading paper, using the papers Mrs. Reuter gave us for help, and asking for advice from my PLN.

My biggest challenge in this paper was probably my 1st paragraph because it was hard for me to know what to put in my first paragraph. This was the point were I asked Mrs. Reuter for help.

My advice to my classmates is that if you need help, don't be afraid to ask Mrs. Reuter or anyone on your PLN for help or advice.
