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 expand upon a specific example from the text.
2. Looking at the feedback, what do you think was the area you need the most improvement in and why? (Be
Specific)
In this paper, I often refered to the story in the past tense rather than the present. I need to work on
making sure my papers are written in a single present tense.
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.

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 be able to better prepare a piece so that it is written in the right tense
WHY:
Keeping the reader in the same tense will keep them on track as far as the plot of the piece goes and will allow
me to keep on track as well.
