My Learning Summary What I Have Learned About Writing Notably, during this semester, I have learned about the importance of the first word of a paragraph and the last words.

If I were to re-write that essay, keeping in mind the importance of the first word, I would begin my essay with “traveling”.
English 10 Honors has been an invaluable learning experience filled with many opportunities to showcase knowledge and to learn new ideas.

All throughout my high school years I had a lot of trouble writing essays. I would constantly ask my teachers for help but I personally believe that I didn’t receive the adequate help to become a better writer. At the end of my senior year is when I encountered one of the most challenging writing assignments.
An excellent writer might revise their work by adding missed words or phrases, fix misspelled words, or reorganize their thoughts. Revision gives the writer a chance to see if their writing is really worth saying and if the reader will understand it. The writer should think “Does the introduction clearly state what you intend it to? Will your aims be clear to the reader?” My opinion about writing has changed positively because i now understand why writing is important for daily life.
In the past few weeks, I have seen myself grow step by step to become a good writer. I have had to work on essays which took time and effort and a few corrections from my peers and my professor. I have become accustomed to new writing skills and techniques which I believe will be of great use in years to come. I intend to incorporate corrections provided in class and even in peer group discussions into my writing. I believe learning is a process which demands discipline and proper guidance.

Throughout this semester, I have learned a lot from this class about my strengths and weaknesses in my writing and my preparation for in class writing. From the writing opportunities that were available in this semester, I have understand that my technical skills, like grammar are one my strengths in writing. Moreover, another strength of mine is that I am willing to revise my work, so it can be free of errors. However, I have realize that I have many weaknesses in my paragraph and essay writing, and this is mostly caused by lack of development in the ideas that I put in my writing. On the other hand, I realized that my writing has improved when I compare my recent assignment to the first assignment that I did in this class, I can clearly see
Throughout the semester in English 1102, I have been challenged to explore how love has affected my life. For this portfolio, I tried to incorporate the theme of love in a personal way. I found my love for running could be expressed well in this manner. An essential aspect of a team is ensuring that all members appreciate and trust each other. I think this is a perfect example of love.
Throughout this semester, I have made many great achievements and improved my writing skills drastically. This class has helped me improve my writing skills with grammar and methods for writing. I have also learned what I need to improve on, which includes effectively using quotes and writing narrative pieces.
