About Me

My name is Jack, and this is my portfolio. This portfolio will focus on my previous writing projects I completed over the course of this year. I will take about my improvements, my strengths, my weaknesses, and many more things involving my writing this year. I will refer back to my writing assignments I have completed and received comments on from my teacher, Dr. D; this is what I'll base my posts on. This is the blog post about me.

Me as a Writer Next Year

This year I have greatly improved my writing from last year. If I remember correctly, I do no believe I made a single A on any major writing assignments last year. But after referring back to my gradebook, I have found that I have made several A's on writing assignments. Another reflection of my writing this year is that I have gotten better with writing techniques; especially citations. I know I have mentioned my distaste for citations many times, but I have to admit that I have become better at citing my sources. I noticed this after I looked at my research paper. Because I had to use so many in-text citations, I eventually got the hang of it and knew how to do them and where to put them. This is a reflection of my writing this year.

My Strengths as a Writer

After reading the instructions for this assignment, I immediately thought of voice/tone as a strength of mine. I feel like when I read my own writing it sounds like me, not just some random writer. I have been reading my blog posts and noticed this. I even got my friends to read a couple of my blog posts and they agreed that they all showed tone and voice. Another strength of mine is audience. I think that I can change my writing styles depending on who my audience or target audience is. A splendid example of this is my research project. I read the comments on my paper and saw that I did well with audience. My final strength is staying with my genre. I think this is probably everyone's strength because it's just staying on topic.

Goals for Next Year

To start things off, one of my goals is to get better at citing. I have struggled with citations for years, due to my lack of enthusiasm towards citations. The things that has made citing worse for me this year is in-text citations. I just don't understand why I can't have all my citations on the works cited list only. I feel like these in-text citations also ruin writings because it ruins the flow of the paper. Another goal I have is to not get any grades lower than an 80%. I just think that it would be great if I could get at least a B on every major piece of writing I complete next year. My last goal is to focus more on the length of my paper. I have noticed that my English papers seem to be getting smaller and smaller in terms of length, and I don't know why. These are my goals for writing next year.
