Welcome to Jessica's world!!!
Unlike the last semester, we didn't write a lot of essays this semester. I don't really know how much I've improved compare to last semester. Despite that, I still think I've improve a lot, although I don't have any proof for that. I've always struggle with writing and words, and grammar have always been my weak spot, but writing have been easier for me this year. In the last essays in my other classes in the last few weeks, I thought more about the grammar of my paper, I can see my mistakes, and fix it.
In the Annotated Bibliography assignment, I did a bad job. At first, I did the research very detail and good, but in the paraphrase part, I had a lot of grammar mistakes. In the first Annotated Bibliography, my classmates had detected a lot of grammar mistakes. At that time, I didn't know how to fix them, so I just let Katrina fix it for me and didn't learn about the mistakes. For the last 4, I thought it was easy, so I didn't do it until the last minutes. And when I finish all of them, I just gave them to Katrina to check the grammar for me. I didn't check it again to see if there is anymore mistakes, I submitted it. And I didn't get a really good grade on this.
In the Case Study assignment, I was more careful. I didn't slack on my work anymore. I thought of the questions a lot before using them in the interview. And when I got the answer, I read through them carefully, and sort them out in some big categories. At last, after I wrote the essay, I read through it again and again before submit it as rough draft. When I received feedback, I check the essay carefully and change the mistakes. And this time, my grade improved a lot more than last time.
This film assignment is the worst grade I've got for the whole year, not the script part but the move itself. For the script, I spent a lot of time writing at first and changing the format later. I wrote some part of the script then, went back and checked it, to make sure it was in the correct format and had correct grammar. Later, when we film, I formatted the script differently for easier seeing. When the script was due, I changed it all again. So I stayed on the computer for several hours, clicked the key "Tab" about several hundred times.
In the last assignment, In-Class Writing, it was the kind of writing I like. Grammar is my weakness, and in this kind of writing I don't have to care about grammar, so I just wrote what I thought. When I write and if I have ideas, I can think and type very fast at the same time. Most of the time for the formal essays, I take a lot of time to think about every word, but these type of essay, I just wrote down that I thought.
For next few years of high school, I'd try to focus on my grammar and improve on my vocabulary. I'd like to use more complicated words and use simple words and have a wordy essay. So when I do the SAT, tests or essays in university, I'd be ready to impress the professors. Also in order to improve my writing skills and vocabulary, I need to improve my reading skills. By being a better reader, I can learn the styles of the authors, and become a better writer. And both would help me a lot in the future.
