    The student wrote a thematic analysis paper on Oedipus the King and received feedback. They did well with their thesis statement, main ideas, and closing statements. However, their wording and explanations of quotes needed improvement. The loop cycle outline worked well for structuring the paper. In reviewing the paper, the student rated their topic sentences as average but their supporting details, explanations, and transitions as weak. Their goal for the next writing assignment is to improve sentence wording and vocabulary variety to make their explanations and paper stronger overall.

    WRITING REFLECTION # 1

    Mrs. Cracchiolo (2014-2015)


    PIECE OF WRITING Oedipus the King Thematic Analysis Paper
    Out of class writing
    1. Looking at the feedback, what/where do you think you did particularly well?
    In this paper I had a well written thesis statement, main ideas, and closing statements.
    2. Looking at the feedback, what do you think was the area you need the most
    improvement in and why? (Be Specific)
    My wording and many statements were very poorly written. And the explanations of each
    quote were very poorly written as well.
    3. Did the loop cycle work for you? Why or why not?
    Yes I used it for the basic outline of my paper. Step by step starting with the main idea
    ending with concluding sentences it worked very well.
    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.
    STRONG
    AVERAGE
    WEAK
    MISSING

    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:
    My goal is to improve the wording of my sentences and vary my vocabulary words. I also
    need to work on explaining my quotes to the main idea
    WHY:
    My words were very weak and didnt have much power towards them. It was a bland paper
    and I hope to make it better.
    6. Any other feedback youd like to share??
    Oedipus was a very hard story for me to understand so that may have been part of the
    reason I didnt do as well as I had hoped to.
