Final Reflection

Throughout my school career, I’ve written so many different types of essays and papers. There were some essays/papers that I loved and some that I hated to write. Is easier for me to do research papers or S.E.Qs than personal essays. Like the “big papers” I had to write this semester.

Staring with the first essay, writing an essay about a word that has a meaning to us. At first, I was really lost because is really hard for me to express myself with words, and write about personal things so I was really struggling with choosing a word. And compared to the last unit I knew what I wanted to do and how to showcase my idea, so I definitely saw an improvement there.

My assumption at the beginning of the semester about me and my writing was that I was going to not know how to maintain my quality of work, and give things on time since I procrastinate a lot. I’m not going to lie I did procrastinate a bit and the quality of my work wasn’t consistent, but it did improve throughout the units.

In all of the “big projects” that we did my favorite was definitely the unit 3. As it was more about creativity and I really enjoyed to make that video and being able to really express myself. My least favorite has to be 1 & 2. Unit one was the first unit so it was naturally hard, and Unit 2 the “research” part was a bot of a challenge for me which made me dislike it a bit. But I can say that I did enjoyed all lessons and it was definitely was my favorite class this semester, and I learned a lot of things and discovered new styles of writing, new techniques.

My main/important point is to teach that is ok to be yourself and to love yourself. I apply this by using my experience as an example. The genre that I choose, which is a video, is the best to reach my audience, which is 4th graders. This is because I believe kids would likely pay attention if it was something fun, rather than a paper with a lot of words, which it can get pretty boring, especially for 4th graders. I think this theme is good for every group age, just because people struggle with that, including myself, but it’s also better to push that topic to kids, so they can start practicing early. What I have learned in this process is that I can have a hard time showcasing my idea in a way that kids can understand, while having fun. I just hope that my audience can learn or start taking steps on how to love themselves.
