Hello!
Throughout the course of this past year, it is easily conceivable that I have grown a lot as an English student. I have developed mostly in the areas of usage of technology, citing and applying evidence, and analysis of complex literary works. These areas have definitely improved due to the continuous work in my English class as well as online discussions where I was able to view peer feedback on areas that needed improvement. Exploring new technology and uses of it aided in the growth of my digital works as well.
The development of my digital pieces is evident throughout the course of my work in the digital pieces tab. Starting from the last school year, I created a video on my grandmother and why she inspires me. It was not very visually stimulating, although I still believe that the script is strong. I definitely improved in the visual aspects, especially when comparing that video to the most recent video I did on Psychiatry. The visuals helped bring my script to life while also adding a layer of depth to the viewer's understanding.
When writing my essays, I definitely improved in pulling concrete and strong quotes from the text. During my freshman year, this was an area that I really struggled in, but as I progressed through my sophomore year, I was able to finally see what would make my points in any essay stronger. This also leads into the next area of improvement, as strong evidence almost always leads to strong analysis. Both strong evidence and analysis can be found in my argumentative essay titled "Modesty Elicits Change."
Upon entering this school year, analysis was an area that required some serious work. We did countless activities in books and online that worked towards building up our analyzing skills. I was finally able to pull from the quotes and evidence to make my analysis stronger. Digging deeper into the quotes helped in pulling out relevant information that would be convincing to the reader.
Thank you for reading my last post of this school year and I hope you will enjoy the rest of my work on this site. :)
