After reading Hannah's essay in class, my first thought was, "well duh!" I thought that we all knew what Hannah was talking about and that we all try to wright an essay like that but we just can't put it together. As I was reading the essay I frequently stopped and thought to myself, hey I used that same point, or I thought the same thing when I was writing but I guess in never actually wrote it down. My essay wasn't as well structured as Hannah's either. When Mrs. Stariha said that lots of us only connected back to the history until the very end, I realized that that was something that I had done with out even knowing it. I think that it is easy for us to learn the material that we should use in the essays but the hard part is actually to write it down in an essay format. I think that next time I am going to plan out at least my first essay a lot more before I go into the test so that I am more prepared and don't have to think as much when I am doing the writing.
By the way, great job on your essays Hannah.
I did the same thing with the history Freddy. Except sometimes I totally forget about the history. I go in planning to connect everything back but just forget :P

ReplyDeleteRemember, you guys can actually practice that first essay or at least think of an outline even before the test! I highly recommend it.
