Semester 1 Essay Reflection

https://docs.google.com/a/bps121.org/spreadsheet/ar?id=tx4w_B3k-Zpwx3pMGBIAZ-Q.13058560154484656329.1007675670144522199&action=1&tile=0&rpert=20&srow=0&erow=44&scol=0&ecol=7&fprt=false&tfe=qc_562&gsessionid=w9RGps5ReDs

Regarding both essays, I struggled to obtain any expanded core points.  This is because I was not able to achieve all 7 points in the basic scoring guide.  In the compare and contrast essays, I repeatedly made errors with the analysis between the two points I was comparing.  Evidence was no problem, and thesis statements yielded me points.  I need more practice with change over time essays before I can make concrete statements, but with the information I have, I can begin focusing on areas on which I need improvement.  I made a stupid error with evidence on my midterm change over time essay by not specifying exactly what I was talking about.  That will receive some of my attention, but looking upon it now, I can see what I did incorrectly.  But once again, the analysis proves to be a weak point in my essays.  Global context may need some attention as well.

  1. OK, so let me know if you want to get together to talk about how to write the analysis section of the essays better!
