WRITING REFLECTION # __________

Mrs. Cracchiolo (2014-2015)


PIECE OF WRITING: Macbeth In-class Essay
In class writing OR out of class writing

1. Looking at the feedback, what/where do you think you did particularly well?
One area I think I did particularly well in was my ability to connect the anomalies in the relationship
between Macbeth and his wife to the status quo of relationships for the time.

2. Looking at the feedback, what do you think was the area you need the most improvement in and why? (Be
Specific)
I need to work on my topic sentences for my body paragraphs and connecting them back to thesis
statement.

3. Did the loop cycle work for you? Why or why not?
I like the loop cycle because it allowed me to build on a thesis statement while still keeping on topic.

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:
I would like to clean up my transitions between paragraphs.

WHY:

I feel that I sometimes jump from idea to idea and if I can clean up the transitions between the paragraphs, it
will allow me to write an overall smoother essay.

6. Any other feedback youd like to share??


Not really, it is one of my best writings for this year.
