I think that my analysis is strong because it's elaborate.

I think that I can definitely improve my structure, choice of words and forming the sentences and what to write. My analysis is strong but my structure and grammar definitely needs some improvement. My goal would be to learn about the structure for the text I'm writing better before I start writing and also to plan it beforehand. When it comes to grammar I would like to practice more and learn more about spelling.

I’m proud of how I explained each metaphor and connected it clearly to Duffy’s message about politics, making my analysis easy to follow.

My transitions between quotes could be smoother, so the paragraph flows more naturally. I want to improve paragraph flow by using better transition words and reading my writing aloud to check connections between ideas.

I feel like one of the strengths in my formative paragraph is my analysis. Sometimes I have a hard time incorporating the quote fluidly, yet almost always I am able to have depth on my analysis once I take the time to fully understand the text I am reading and break it down into small parts.

I believe that I could improve my word choice because I use simple words that are usually seen as very repetitive within my writing. To fix this, I could read more books and take the words of the week vocab more seriously. Another improvement I could see myself working on is better incorporating the quotes into my writing more fluidly, this would get better with practice.

I am proud of the quotes I mentioned, and the opinions I wrote. Because I came up with some ideas that are quite interesting as well as finding a relevant quote.

Despite that I had come up with interesting ideas and found relevant quote, I lack of the depth in analyzing, and extending the idea. I would want to improve my organization and the depth in analyzing text, and connecting my ideas to the text that are relevant. Also to improve my grammar.

My incorporation of quotes was fluid and on point, not overly distracting for the reader. My analysis for some of the quotes were on point and inferential.

I should focus on making my analysis less wordy to try to make my points clearer. When it comes to word choice, I should focus on using specific terminology and avoid abstract terms such as "thing". I should use transition words to show my reader that I’m moving on to my next point. My priority would be to focus on transition words and phrases. I will use the 'transitional words' document to my advantage to avoid using too many words.

My strengths are my explanations, what I mean is how when it comes to a subject I can find good evidence for what I think.

I do think I need improvements in the way I say things, my text might have some weird jumps. I also notice I use a lot of simple English.

For this assignment, I believe my strength is my analysis. I feel like I interpreted this poem well and had a great understanding of the message behind this poem.

My writing can sometimes be disorganized and I may forget the my initial point while writing. One way I could improve is to map out my ideas before going straight into writing. I also use too many adjectives, which can be avoided when I go back to check my work. I would like to focus on grammar. I could do this by writing more and getting feedback, or by relooking at some grammar rules.

I feel proud of my organization because I have improved from last year in my writing skills and mostly in organization, which really makes my paragraphs clear and interesting.

I think my punctuation and grammar might need to be a little bit better because those were the most changes. I would focus on adding more information from the poem to give a better description to the reader for better understanding.

I believe that I wrote a strong thesis sentence and did a good job of keeping the writing moving along and focused back to the main point. I am happy with my metaphors and my basic comments on them.

I struggled with coming up with deeper analysis without some assistance. I needed some guidance on my paper. It is stronger now that I edited it than it was originally. There were also some clarity issues that I struggled to find without someone else pointing them out because they sounded fine to me. On my next paper I would focus more time on coming up with deeper metaphors and I would ask Mrs Matthews for some assistance on my paper when I need it. I would make sure my wording is more clear and get some help from Chat GPT on my paper.

In this assignment, the part of my writing I feel most proud of is clarity, because I stated my perspectives and analysis of quotations clearly and succinctly.

In my opinion, I could have done better in organization. It is because in the topic sentence, I got advice from Mrs. Mathew that I could develop my ideas and think in different ways and give some specific examples better. If I focus on one writing skill to improve my next assignment, that would be word choices, because in the analysis of quotations, I repeated some same words, that could be synonyms. To practice developing this skill, I would increase my vocabulary by reading more articles.

I think I did a good job analysing quotations. I feel that I am good at figuring out a deeper meaning amongst quotations, this is a strong skill to have which is why I'm glad to have it.

I think I could have done a better job of the organization in the paragraph. I think sometimes I lost sight of what I was wishing to do. I wish to have a better line of sight when I want to highlight a point. I hope to do a better job of expressing my thought process without making my paragraph a mess. I also hope to get a better grade on the next piece.

I feel proud of how my paragraph is organized, how I start with my claim and move to explain my reasoning in detail and with quotes.

I think I can be more detailed when explaining my quotes and reasoning, which is one thing Mrs Matthews wrote in my paragraph. To improve it, I just need to start rereading my paragraphs more and revising them.I have very clear evidence but I need to explain better how my evidence connects to my claim.
