1. Looking at the feedback, what/where do you think you did particularly well?
I did particularly well on my thesis, which was very clear. I also used strong quotes and
gave excellent insight on them.

2. Looking at the feedback, what do you think was the area you need the most
improvement in and why? (Be Specific)
A few grammar mistakes were made and being a little more careful would be helpful.

3. Did the loop cycle work for you? Why or why not?
The loop cycle did work for me because it gave my paper more organization and allowed
me to establish structure in the short time I had to write the essay.

4. Body paragraph construction is the most important part of your paper since this is the
area that uses evidence to back up your claims. Looking at your paper and feedback,
rate yourself overall on the following elements that correspond to the loop structure.

5. The big question: based on your comments, checklist where you rated yourself on body
paragraph structure, and overall score, what NEW GOAL do you have for your next
writing assignment? In other words, what skills will you try to focus on in the future and
why?
GOAL:
The next time I would just take a few moments extra to organize my thoughts before writing
them.

WHY:
This would help lessen a few poor word choices and grammar mistakes.
