9th grade English could have been compared to an alarm clock. They both are eye openers, and they got my attention. 9th grade English was the hardest year of English i've ever had in all my school years. Also I wrote more essays this year than any other year. I wrote four big essays this year, a literacy narrative, profile (rough and final), and a global issues paper.
My first essay was my literacy narrative. The literacy narrative had to be about a reading or writing experience that changed your views about English, and mine was about poetry. In this essay my overall topic of poetry was pretty good. Even though the topic was good the essay could have been better if my punctuation would have been better. I missed a lot of commas. Also the length of essay didn't reach the requirements.
The second essay I wrote was my profile rough draft. The profile rough draft had to be about a person or place. I wrote the profile rough draft on my friend who i've been to school with since kindergarten. Like the other essay the overall topic was also good in the profile. What I could have done better was further explain, and give details for my overall ideas.
The third essay I wrote was my final draft for my profile. In the final draft I still had some errors. That could be explained by me getting a C in every aspect of writing. I also had missing commas, and my essay wasn't long enough. I also repeated myself. Last but not least I had a stupid mistake, and that was that I put loosing instead of losing.
Last but not least was my global issues research essay. My essay was on obesity. In this essay we really made the thesis a main point. Considering that I got a 4/5 on arguable thesis, and a 3/5 on how interesting the opening paragraph , I would say I was successful. Overall this was probably my best essay.
Considering all my essays there were similarities. Each essay kind of showed that my overall topic wasn't bad. Also each essay showed me that I need to work with punctuation, but mainly commas. Also in each essay I didn't meet the length requirements, so that kind of showed me that i'm more o short and to the point.
Even though my grades may have not showed it I would consider this a productive year. This year I was held to a high level of expectation. I would say I didn't really meet them. Even then this hard year of English only made me better for future English class's.
common errors:
didn't use commas in run on sentences
loosing instead of losing
