HR: Reflection on my Essay 1 The Literacy Narrative Essay: An Inquiry about a Bilingual Sponsorship. Peter N. Chew
Critical Reflection: An inquiry About a Bilingual Sponsorship
My reflection process for this essay was very helpful, one thing that I discovered in my writing process for this essay. Which changed my perspective on what I need to do for the betterment and improvement of my writing process, and to further improve my ability to criticize the essays of other students.
After reading my essay over, during the Student Conference meeting with Mrs. Smith along with her input on my draft which was extremely helpful, during this process I in noticed many spelling and grammatical mistakes, which made me quite surprised. However, I realized that these errors were because of my decision to write the rough draft very early in the morning at around 3 am when I started. As a result of me being already tried while writing and being more focused on achieving the required word count. I did not pay the careful attention that I should have to the grammar and structure of the essay.
While re-reading my essay I was able to expose my spelling mistakes and repetitive run-off sentences. All of which after the revision I attempted to fix. As I continued writing while doing corrections to finalize my essay. What I learned is that I should have not attempted to write such an essay early in the morning while being fatigued. The proper time to do it is in the evening or afternoon, which is the time that I am aiming for in the next writing process. When it came to peer-review feedback on essays, I found them to be helpful since they hinted at my mistakes and my incomplete MLA format for the essay. While I provided similar critical feedback on my peer’s essays, I enjoyed reading through their essays.
A key takeaway from this reflection is to be fore focused and concentrated in the writing process and to be careful with run-off sentences, repetitive words, and grammatical errors. All of which could be avoided by simply taking breaks and re-reading my essay while in the writing process.
