Reflection cover letter

Dear reader,
College composition has been a great class for me, I have learned more in this coarse than I would have ever imagined. Before this class I was sort of a lazy writer, I always wrote papers for previous english classes but never analyzed them. This class taught me how to use various writing techniques such as exemplification, Showing the reader not telling them, how to write successfull and intriqueing conclusions and introductions to make my writing more interesting. Through the long analysis process after completing an essay I realized a lot about how I could better my drafts that I did not realize when I was writing it. Peer analysis also helped a lot though out the coarse, it was very helpful to hear what others thought of my work, and incoorperate their ideas into a revised draft.

I think that I have grown tremendously as a writer during my senior year. By completing all different kinds of drafts such as process analysis, exemplification, character sketch, a pictures worth a thousand words, seven deadly sins, comparison contrast and more, I have prepared myself for college writing. My greatest stide that I think I have taken in this coarse I would say would be writing my exemplification paper, it allowed me to write down how I really felt about a subject into a well written creative piece. Using various exemplification techniques such as statistics, anecdotes, quotes, questions and more, I think made each part of this paper seem interesting and creative.

Each post I have created in my blog is unique and different from one another, because each essay is a different type of writing style, their analysis's and revised drafts are nothing alike. My first post is the analysis and draft of my comparing and contrasting a chocolate chip cookie essay. Here I tried to analyze the whole experience of the assignment, as well as analyzing the essay as a whole. My second post shows some alternate inroductions to this paper, all starting in different ways. Here I tried to use different introduction techniques while still maintaining a catchy introduction. My third post is the first draft and analysis of my Seven Deadly Sins essay. Here I tried to analyze how interesting it was for me to create a paper and a analysis on a topic I have never been familiar with, but still trying to make the essay flow. This leads right into my fourth post where I have posted a revised draft of my seven deadly sins paper. I think that this draft cleared up some of the questions the reader might have had by reading the first draft, and had a better flow than the first draft. In my fifth post I have created alternate conclusions to my seven deadly sins essay. Here like my alternate introductions, I have used different techniques in closing my essay while trying to maintain an interesting ending. My sixth post is an analysis and draft of my partner Grant's and I "How to work at Wickham Farms" essay. I enjoyed writing this essay because it was a topic that we were both very familiar with and it was fun to analyze the topic together and write the essay. Receiving peer feedback for this essay also helped me  understand and analyze revisions we could later incorperate in our draft. My seventh post asked Mrs. Basko to analyze certain things about my exemplification paper, the one I believed to be my biggest stride in the coarse. And in my eighth post I have posted my new draft to this paper using the useful feedback that I received. Hope you enjoy my blog :)
