This week in English class we have been working on literacy narratives. A literacy narrative requires more deep thinking than other pieces of writing because describes a story about reading or writing. I'm excited about getting feedback from my peers in order to help improve my writing. The things that I have been struggling the most is creating vivid details that draw images in the minds of others. I'm also dealing with lot of grammatical errors, particularly related to comma usage.
I'm extremely nervous now, after completing my first day of peer review. One of the girls at our table had an exceptional paper; I'm not even sure if my narrative can even compare. While I wrote my literacy narrative I personally thought it was easier to write the introduction than the conclusion. The words and details in my introduction flowed together really nicely. Though in my conclusion the words seemed forced out of my mouth, kind of like writing a social studies essay. I hope the members of my peer review group give me valuable feedback to help expand and develop my writing, and show me where I can enrich my details to give the writing more feeling. I will try to resist the urge to apologize for my work when I read it tommorrow to my group. It just feels extremely awkward for me to read my work outloud.

Hi Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI think this narrative reflection is strongly written. You should have confidence in your writing. Believe in yourself. If you have any doubts; you can always ask my opinion. Your reflection is very interesting. I improved my vivid details by saying different word in my mind that seemed interesting. Maybe that will help. Best of luck
