My writing is like a sequoia tree. At the beginning of my English learning in the first grade, I was like a newly planted sequoia seed. As time went on and as I gained more knowledge, the seed sprouted and it peeked out from the ground to get the first glimpse of the sun light. The sequoia will always keep on growing like I will always be learning about new things about English. Eventually, the sequoia will grow from a little seed to one of the biggest trees on the planet.

I feel like I have improved the central idea of my writing. I used to get off topic and write about something else that has nothing to do with my writing. My essays actually have a structure and good organization to it. I’ll make sure it has at least 5 paragraphs and a topic sentences at the beginning each paragraph. The unity of my writing as also improved. All of the contents tie in with the topic.

My word choices are not good. I don’t have a good vocabulary at all. I need to learn more of them so I can write essays without using just fourth grade words. I do have some sentence variety but not all the time. Sometimes I don’t get the tone and voice of my writing across to the reader. However, in my epithet poem, //Heroes,// I feel like I have done a great job with the tone and voice. My writing expression domain is the part I need to work on the most. This year was a great year towards my grammar and punctuation. I have learned where to put punctuations, when to use certain words, and the passive voice. It is really hard to use the passive voice because you can’t include words like “is” and “was” in your sentences. I’ve always had a problem with spelling for some reason and I can’t seem to get better at it. My mechanics on formatting is improving. I plan my work out before I start writing. That makes the writing easier and more organized.
