Reflection Essay

I posted my scarlet letter essay, the crucible essay, and my memoir because I really learned a lot throughout all of my essays. In English 3 honors, I have learned more proper writing techniques than any other english class that I have taken. One of the main things that I have learned is to transition my sentences better. In my scarlet letter essay, I didn't transition my sentences at all, and after being corrected I learned that there had to be something connecting the paragraphs. I also learned not to use so many being verbs. This threw off my paper, and I had to go back and correct them. Also in my memoir, I learned that I needed to work on my active voice, and not make my sentences so plain.
Part 2-I also learned a lot through reading other peoples essays. In Kacie Mccoy's essay " Gauntlet Departure" she really opened up her essay with great active voice. She also had a great attention getter.http://kacieleesblog.blogspot.com/
I also saw a great example of transition sentences in Ginny Cox's "The Crucible Essay." http://ginnyleighcox.blogspot.com/ I really enjoyed reading this essay because it was very organized and easy to understand.
In Elizabeth Baker's Nature Essay, she opened it up with a quote. I would have never thought about opening my paper with a quote, I just incorporated it into my paper. She made it work, and I thought it was very cool.http://ebthatsme.blogspot.com/
