I learned more about annotating through this class than last semester and I thought that I needed to improve my sentence structures.The problem I face in this class is that reading fast enough to follow the class. I also think that I should know how to organize the whole essay and how to make reasons to support main idea to move ahead now. while I was taking the CAT-W test, I felt like I needed to know more vocabulary to understand the passage given on the CAT-W test and I needed more time to finish the writing. From the passage, I got a question about whether using cellphone in the public school is acceptable or not? and I didn't agree with using cellphone in the public school. As I see my experience, using cellphone never works positively to education. I hope I have more reading to practice to pass this class.
Hi Hangi:
ReplyDeleteBelow you will find my response for this blog series. This is not a grade, nor is it intended to be read as an evaluation of your performance in this class so far. The evaluation of the blog series may be found in Blackboard in the gradebook for this class and the grade is derived from a totally dofferent method as described in the syllabus. What you will see below is a response to your overall writing as of this blog series. The categories are from the CAT-W evaluation rubric (what the evaluator’s use). The comments below are intended to be both descriptive (what I see) and prescriptive (what you need to work on). I will be speaking with you personally about your current strengths and weakness during class. Please feel free to ask as many questions as you like about the following in class, during office hours, or in our FB groups.
Critical Response to Writing Task and Text: You are engaging with the readings and the ideas in them. Good.
Development of Writer’s Ideas: You have some good development but we could use more examples and details as well as reasons.
Structure of the Response: Overall structure is fine. We will work on "map thesis" more.
Sentences, Word Choice, Grammar, Usage, Mechanics: sentence and word-level problems may be an issue, especially for a timed test. You may want to consider reading and copying text from either The Wall Street Journal or The New York Times to practice.
Good start!
