Metacognitive Reflection

Image
1)As a writer I think that I have improved in certain aspects. The main thing that helped me was going over notes and comments that Ms. Nagi left on previous papers. This helped me understand what I was doing wrong and how I could improve in that specific area on my next writing piece. 2)The area that I have improved in is pulling quotes to support my argument or thesis. Before this class, my quotes were too long and I was not cutting extra information out. This class helped me understand that only important and relevant information should be in the quotes and not extra fluff.I focused on the important parts and it helped me strengthen my evidence.   3)The area that needs further improvement is connecting my ideas to the bigger picture. I tend to analyze my quotes, but forget to pull them back in and analyze how this helps my thesis or claim of the passage. I think the way to improve this would be by reviewing my past work and seeing how I could make sure to revisit the thesis
