porfolio reflection

i think a strength of mine as a writer is if i find something to write about, i can write about it for a long time and its easy for me to pick out mistakes. a weakness is finding something to write about or writing about something that i dont know much about or im writing about something not very interesting. i think my best writing is probably my golf one, because it was easy for me to write because i love golf. my worst is probably my fall writing because it was rushed and never really fixed so it has a lot of problems and just isnt very good. when i go about writing i usually just write about something and put random things about it. a bad writing habit of mine would be using slang words or text language too much. i dont really have any stratagies, i usually just write some stuff then fix it and have someone else look at it, too. a problem i might come across is not knowing what to write about or write next. my goals for writing in the future would be to be able to write about more things and have more ideas when writing.

best piece reflection

my best piece of writing would my by golf writing. i started writing this for a writing submission and just kept it going. i like it because its about something i love and everything in it is from my own knowledge. my goals were just to turn it in for a writing submission but then i ended up using it for a choice writing. i ended it with stuff that you had to remember when golfing and personal advice. i didnt really come across any problems, it was easy to write.

Write compositions with a variety of sentence structures and lengths

simple - I would rather hunt in fall any day.
compound - I mean I love my summer, but fall is my favorite.
complex - Its so much prettier outside and I'm in love with it.
compound-complex - I dont like going hunting when theres snow because it means you have to put on more clothes, it makes it harder to walk to where ever your gonna sit and having all the clothes on makes you hot, and dragging a deer through the snow is not fun.

Demonstrate correct grammar and sentence structure.

The second time we were there the game was super cold. This was in the middle of the summer, and I could see my breath. I went there in jeans and a t-shirt and we had to buy me a long sleeve at Wrigley Field because it was so cold.

Use a variety of techniques effectively to provide supportive detail in writing (snapshot, similes/metaphors, explosions, and dialogue)

You step up to the tee box, placing the tee in the ground. You set the ball on top of it then step back and take a few swings. You line up your feet and club towards the direction it needs to go. Once you have everything set you stay focused, keep your head down and hit. Then after the ball is it you look up and watch it fly through the air to where its going to land.

Write with strong organization and flow.

You have to focus a lot in this sport, its definitely a mind game. You can't let pressure get to you, and you can't get frustrated with yourself, because it doesn't end well. I would know, I used to get mad a lot. You gotta put bad shots behind you and move on with the next one and make it better. If people are watching, you can't let them get to you and you have to ignore them. People used to bother me but now they usually don't.

Use strategies for editing

Going on these vacations with my family are always good bonding experiences and so much fun. We always get along and don't fight when were on vacation, and don't think about everything at home and all the other things in life we have to deal with. My parents don't think about work, and me and my brothers don't think about school. We love them and can hardly wait for next year.
