Writing

I think i'm going to choose my literacy narrative to revise. Out of all my essays i'm must say that my literacy narrative is the weakest. I don't know if it's because I was callow back in the days, but man is that paper bad. I've gotten a lot better about comma splices and fragments, so basically sentence structure was not my forte. I also need to make my points a little bit more clear, and improve the end and beginning. I chose this essay because in the comments Dr. D said I had "the bones of a strong story." All I have to do is improve upon it, and now I know exactly how to do so. In my literacy narrative I had numerous run-ons, comma splices, and just stupid errors. To be honest before Dr. D's class I didn't know what a "comma splice" was. I actually never even heard of it so I bet my middle school essays are chock full of them. I didn't choose my research essay, because most of the errors was in formatting. And my literacy analysis had some sentence structure errors, but not as many as my literacy narrative. But my analysis is also possibly a good candidate for my portfolio.

  2. Sarah, I'm glad to hear sentence structure issues are becoming easier for you. I think your literacy narrative is a good candidate for revision, and I look forward to reading the next version.
