1.
Examine the rubric closely. What score do you
deserve based on that rubric? Justify why by giving examples.
I rated my essay as a 4 because it failed
to correctly and fully respond to the prompt. There were little analysis and
more plot summary, which is not what one is asked to do in the prompt. There is
also not just one pivotal moment mentioned, which causes confusion within the
essay.
2.
Read the
student performance "Common errors" section. What common errors did
you commit? If you were going to do this prompt over again, how would you
correct these errors?
My vocabulary needs to be on a college
level, there needs to be more analysis, better sentence structure, and more
focus needs to be on one pivotal moment. If I could do this paper over I would
correct all those mistakes and focus more on the topic and meaning of the work
as whole.
3.
After
reading the student response examples what have you learned? Is there anything
specifically you would change in your own paper?
After reading the student response examples,
I learned I need to focus on answering the prompt and analyzing better. I would
also use better vocab and various sentence structures.
4.
What aspect of timed writings do you feel you
need the most help on? What do you suggest we do in class to help with this?
The aspect of timed writings that I need the
most help on is organizing the paper and focusing on the topic. Practicing
graphic organizers would be the only way to help. For the most part, the
mistakes were laziness on my part and I needed to take more time on the
assignment.
